July 1′st is nearly upon us, how fast has this half of the year went for you. For us, it’s just screaming by. 

We are playing at the Steveston Salmon Festival and are really excited, performing with the band in our home town to celebrate Canada’s birthday.

We’re on around 1:30-depends on the parade when it gets finished.  Hope to see you there.

As always peace and joy

Our next show will be next weekend,  using our love of music to help our community.  This is the press release from the Richmond Review with details

Local Artists stepping up to help 3 families who lost everything in a fire at Knightsbridge townhouse complex on Cambie Rd last month

Mother-daughter singing duo The Jardines, Garth Bowen, The Spooncutters, teenage artist Jad Ardat and others will be participating in the Knightsbridge Family Benefit Night on Friday, June 25 at Fraserview MB Church, 11295 Mellis Dr.

The evening, organized by East Richmond Community Association’s Alexis Alblas, will feature performances and displays by local artists, a silent auction, a 50:50 draw and include a coffee bar.

“I organized this event for a number of reasons,” Alblas wrote in an e-mail. “I know two of the families (or children) personally. Also, a friend of mine last year had a fire in her kitchen…and I saw the struggle she had. And they had insurance. This family was out of their home for four months and still have not recouped all their losses.”

Alblas said she posted a request on Facebook for performers, and it didn’t take long for five musical acts to sign up.

The fun starts at 7 p.m., and all monies raised will go to support the families.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students ages 13 to 18. Children 12 and under are by donation.

While tickets will be available at the door, they can also be purchased in advance at Cambie Community Centre, 12800 Cambie Rd. (604-233-8299), at Fraserview MB Church (604-270-4211), or at McNeely, Cambie and Tait schools.

Tickets are also available by calling 604-233-8376 or e-mailing aalblas@richmond.ca

For those wanting to help the families but can’t attend the benefit night, they are urged to purchase a gift card for them at Shoppers Drug Mart, Real Canadian Superstore, Zellers, Old Navy or IKEA.

A trust fund has also been set up at Coast Capital Savings Credit Union (Membership No. 5963215).
