Old-time mountain music and comforting cuisine Mar 21
Join co-hosts Creative Cow Productions and The Grand Central Station for a Dinner Concert featuring the fabulous acoustic duo of Jason & Pharis Romero on Saturday, March 21 at Ashcroft’s newest eatery - The Grand Central Station restaurant on Railway Ave. This co-production is the first of many in collaboration with Nadine Davenport Owner/Presenter from UniTea Tea Room. Doors open at 5:30pm with music starting at 7:30pm. Tix are available for the Dinner/Show and just for the Show and are now available in advance at UniTea Tea Room and The Grand Central.
Close your eyes and let the music take you to the front porch of some Appalachian cabin, kicking back with a banjo and guitar and some sweet tea. Rooted in the old-time mountain music of Virginia and Tennessee, their approach is an unpretentious and simple with one single microphone between the two - for that Grand Ol Opry sound.
What’s better for a bluegrass and folk enthusiast than handcrafted banjos made out of gourds and specially selected wood? Hearing them played by the people who made them, especially when those people also happen to be one of B.C.’s most beloved folk duos. The duo has just returned from an extremely successful overseas tour, as well as some busy stopovers throughout B.C. and Alberta, performing with Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Café tour.
It is clear listening to the new album that the Romeros have grown musically together in such a way as to create a masterpiece of soulful bluegrass. From traditional ballads to blues driven and swinging tunes, the duo have crafted music that evokes the old soul of Americana. This will be a show to remember folks - get your tickets now!
