Byrd Dawg - The Ultimate Tribute
to The Everly Brothers and Simon & Garfunkel
Friday August 18,2017 | Doors: 6pm | Show: 7pm
Friday August 18,2017 | Doors: 845pm | Show: 915pm
“All I Have To Do Is Dream”| “Wake Up Little Susie” | “Bye Bye Love” | “Cathy’s Clown” | “Bird Dog” | “Till I Kissed You” | “Let It Be Me” | “Walk Right Back” | “Crying In The Rain".
BYRD DAWG is the ultimate tribute to two iconic musical duos - The Everly Brothers and Simon & Garfunkel - – starring Joel Dietrich and Wayne Rempel, and their seasoned four-piece group, The Vintage Electric Band.
Joel and Wayne both grew up listening to those amazing harmonies and lyrics painting vivid pictures. Playing together in bands for several years they discovered their mutual love for singing and harmonizing. They read about Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles, The Beach Boys and many other artists saying Phil and Don Everly influenced them. The more Joel and Wayne played together, the greater their excitement and interest grew in developing a tribute to the influential Everly Brothers.
JANE BUNNETT & MAQUEQUE
THURSDAY AUGUST 24, 2017 DOORS 6PM // MUSIC 7PM
Multiple Juno Award winner, Jane Bunnett has turned her bands and recordings into showcases for the finest musical talent from Canada, the U.S and Cuba. She has been up for Grammy Awards, numerous Juno’s, received The Order of Canada, The Queens Diamond Jubilee and most recently The Premiers Award for Excellence. An internationally acclaimed musician, Jane Bunnett is known for her creative integrity, improvisational daring and courageous artistry. Her exploration of Afro-Cuban melodies expresses the universality of music and her ability to embrace and showcase the rhythms and culture of Cuba has been groundbreaking. She has toured the world bringing her own special sound to numerous JAZZ festivals, displaying her versatility as a flutist, saxophone player and pianist.
Two documentaries have been made about Bunnett’s work. “Spirits of Havana “(2000) National Film Board (NFB) was presented at numerous film festivals internationally, television (CBC, PBS) as well as in Europe.
Jane’s most recent recording and touring group “Maqueque” is turning heads internationally. The group consists of Jane with five dynamic young Cuban women instrumentalists and composers. As an educator, spokesperson and social activist, she remains unafraid to explore uncharted territory in her quest for excellence.
From Canadiana to sitar and tabla, celebrate different genres and music from around the world during Surrey's free Sounds of Summer concert series. Our opening night as well as the grand finale will feature Canada 150 celebrations. Be sure to bring your folding chairs, blankets and picnic baskets to fully enjoy all the performances.
