A Cabin Fever Concert with Saskia and Darrel
also known as “The Great Plains”
Presented by/at Wembley United Church.
Sunday, (afternoon) March 8 at 3:00 PM
For advance tickets and info please call:
Anne S at 780 766 2413; Dianne at 780 766 2271

The Great Plains are certainly no strangers to the Peace River
Country as they have played up and down every highway and
byway with their delightful, all Canadian show they call “Song of
the Prairies”.
Enjoy a heartwarming show filled with music, merriment, and
mayhem, as Saskia and Darrel deliver a fun blend of folk music,
an unpredictable series of songs that change every time you see
them. They delight their audience with tales about Prairie
Elevator, Blue birds, War brides, Louis Riel, Patchwork Quilts,
and then surprisingly will share a wonderful tender song about
their spiritual journey then break into Swiss yodeling, or sing in
Gaelic, Spanish, Dutch, German or French.
“Great Plains” are a veteran touring act; with an easy, crowdfriendly style that instantly endears them to any audience. This is
true Canadiana; real songs drenched in Canadian culture and
heritage delivered in a comfortable highly skilled set with oodles
of self-poking humor. A taste of Celtic, a dab of bluegrass, and
lots of engaging stories wrapped around extremely ear-wormy
melodies.
Bragg Section! They have toured extensively with Gary
Fjellgaard and Valdy. They were awarded Top Folk Album in
Holland, Artist, Album, and Songwriter of the year from SCMA,
received Top 5 People’s choice awards, and have enjoyed many
years airplay on CBC, CKUA and Top Indie charts in Canada, the
USA and Europe.
