Sean Burns with Skinny Dyck Live in Concert
2019-04-30 20:30 - 22:30
From dancehall shuffles and the electric honky tonk of the Bakersfield sound, all the way down to belly rubbin’ ballads, Sean Burns plays his brand of Country Music with an unparalleled enthusiasm.
Continuing to tour relentlessly, the Winnipeg based country music enthusiast delivers from-the-heart performances of songs written with highway miles and heartbreak.
March 2018 saw Sean Burns & Lost Country release “Music for Taverns, Bars, and Honky Tonks” to favourable reviews and extensive national touring. With songs of trains and trucks, drinkers and drunks, it’s a country music soundtrack for all of your dancing and romancing pleasures.

Nasti Weather and the False Predictions with Danny Bell
2019-03-22 19:30 - 23:30
Coming all the way to Wells from Vancouver, BC is Nasti Weather with alternative accordion extraordinaire, Danny Bell!!
Nasti Weather//
is the fallen gospel gutter folk creation of a former Tofino resident, Anastasia Schlechtleitner. They put on powerful, genuinely heartfelt live shows that manage to bridge the gap between a lively and deeply introspective performance. Nasti Weather is in the eye of the beholder but is consistently marked by uniquely haunting garage jazz vocal stylings and profound yet cheeky lyricism. Anastasia is deftly capable of drawing audiences close with a gentle croon, but don’t be shocked if you’re blown back by an underbelly howl. Keeping with her story as a creative collaborator, Nasti Weather draws together “The False Predictions” an ever changing cast of some of BC’s most prolific and talented folk musicians, such as members of Red Haven, High Society & The Party on High Street. An up and coming sensation in the Canadian scene, the band is looking forward to their upcoming release of their Full Length album A Longing Wayside in the spring of 2019.

Danny Bell//
is an accordion-based singer-songwriter and percussionist living in Prince George, BC on Lhedli T’enneh territory. Danny’s songs are pure & simple, sweeping superfluity off of the table so we can stay near the ground. His Disappointments change, but are always people with instruments. Danny Bell and His Disappointments released their debut album, “Good Timin’ Man” on September 21st on Good Egg Records.
“This is f**king great – raw, accordion-based, mildly-klezmer-inspired, irreverent punk-folk that totally sounds like the second coming of Geoff Berner.”

Sweethearts: No-one will be putting Josie “Grossy” Gellar, Molly Ringwald, or baby in the corner. Electric slide on those shoulder pads, sequin dresses, fingerless gloves, ankle socks, cropped denim jackets, white denim, stirrup pants, off the shoulder tops, and any leather with a fringe.
Hunky Heart Throbs; suit up like Marty McFly, Danny Zuko, or Napolean Dynamite. In car lot, in your favourite pastel tuxedos, ruffled shirts, and pegged jeans. Think “Footloose”, and Michael Jackson. Whether you’re a rocker, a daredevil, or a rebel, or any edgy 1980s style is your prom look. Arrive at the prom with head-banging long hair and a more cutting-edge tux style. This statement tux is black or white with a bow tie and matching vest. Trendy ’80s basketball sneakers or cowboy boots add to the bad-boy persona.
