Trail & District Arts Council and The Flying Steamshovel present WHITEHORSE Thursday, October 6 at 7:30 pm The Bailey Theatre FREE CONCERT
Less than 10 tickets remaining to our FREE Whitehorse show this Thursday.
As this show is almost sold out we would appreciate it if you let us know if you are no longer able to use the tickets that you reserved by calling or emailing our box office at 250-368-9669 or info@trail-arts.com so that we can give your tickets to another patron. Please note that any seats or tickets that have not been claimed by 7:45 pm may be given to another patron.
Our bar and lounge will be open before the show and during the intermission.
Since their debut, Whitehorse has traveled from magnetic folk duo to full-blown rock band exploring new instrumental and lyrical terrain with each record. The creative partnership of Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet has a signature sound – guitar-heavy, harmony-abundant, and lyrically deft. The JUNO Award winners have been busy in the last two years releasing two full length albums in 2021 with “Strike Me Down”, a collection of disco-twirling, hard riffing tales from the brink following hot on the heels of “Modern Love”. Strike Me Down showcases Whitehorse’s masterful, fantastical storytelling and melodic pop sensibilities, with plenty of space made for guitar shredding, epic basslines, and spaced-out vocal layering.
“…an alchemical blend of torch and twang…Doucet and McClelland have beautiful voices on their own, and together there’s a natural symmetry that bears a bold witness to the themes of love and loss found in much of their work…” – Jeffrey Loewen, infonews.ca “…musical mad scientists with the stage as their laboratory. Instruments are set up everywhere for them to play, and they’ll record drum loops live to accompany themselves, creating a soundscape that sounds huge, and never leaves you wanting…Simply brilliant.” – Jean-Frederic Vachon, Diary of a Music Addict
Opening for Whitehorse is Jesse Northey a songwriter, with inspiration from the decades’ worth of tune-smiths that have come before him.This is music firmly rooted in the classics, but cut with a clear-eyed contemporary viewpoint with lush and up front drums, McCartney-esque base, and songs driven by piano, vintage keyboards, and shimmering synths, bringing to mind Elliott Smith, Harry Nilsson, and Aimee Mann.
All tickets are assigned seating. Our building doors will open at 6:30 pm and the show will begin at 7:30 pm.
Tickets can be reserved on-line or by phoning or visiting our box office. Maximum of 4 tickets per patron. Please note – buying online will charge you $1 online ticketing fee per ticket.
The Whitehorse show is presented by Trail & District Arts Council and The Flying Steamshovel, and supported by the BC Arts Council, the BC Touring Council, the Government of British Columbia, and Tourism South Kootenay. This series is funded [in part] by the Government of Canada. / Ce projet est financé [en partie] par le gouvernement du Canada.
Trail & District Arts Council and Blizzard Fest present The Bros. Landreth Friday, October 14 at 7:15 pm The Bailey Theatre
Blizzard Fest and Trail & District Arts Council present The Bros. Landreth with opening act Slow Leaves at The Bailey Theatre on Sunday, October 14 at 7:15pm.
The Bros. Landreth welcome a new day with “Come Morning”, an album and tour that marks both a rebirth and refinement of the JUNO-winning band’s blend of North American roots music and harmony-heavy soul.”Come Morning” finds brothers Joey and Dave lacing their melody-driven songs with layers of atmospheric synth, organ, and textured guitar. The group’s previous albums shone a light on their strength as a live act, capturing the spontaneity and sonic stomp of a band of hard-touring road warriors. At the core of the latest album, “Come Morning”, are the Landreths themselves: two born-to-collaborate brothers who sing songs about hard truths and new beginnings.From their early days attending their father’s gigs as babies to their years logged onstage and on the road, they’ve spent much of their lives being moved — both physically and emotionally — by music. After pursuing separate careers as sidemen, they launched
The Bros. Landreth with 2013’s “Let It Lie”, a debut album that drew upon the shared soundtrack of their childhood — Bonnie Raitt’s blues, Little Feat’s funky country-rock, Ry Cooder’s eclectic instrumentals, and Lyle Lovett’s twangy traditionalism. The music evoked the American South one minute and the windswept prairies of the brothers’ Manitoba homeland the next, earning them a 2015 JUNO Award for “Roots & Traditional Album Of The Year – Group,”
New Opening Act: Slow Leaves (Grant Davidson) has a distinctive poetic voice exploring recurring themes of romantic memory, artistic ambition, and dreams left unfulfilled. His music could exist as comfortably in the ‘70s as it does in today’s age of curated images and hollow soundbites, when vulnerability can be seen as defiance and sincerity as radical.Tickets $38.50 and are general seating. They may be bought online at thebailey.ca, by calling 250-368-9669, or by coming into the Box Office at 1501 Cedar Ave., Trail from Monday to Friday 12-4 pm.

Throughout the course of the event, diners will be given instructions to swap envelopes with other guests. At the end of the evening, everyone will open their envelopes and revealed within is the price for the event. It is a fundraiser, so most of the tickets are weighted towards the higher end.

The City of Nelson is now accepting applications and nominations for its annual Heritage Award which honours individuals, businesses or organizations who have made an outstanding contribution towards the preservation and/or promotion of Nelson’s heritage. The winner, who will receive an $1000 honorarium, will be announced in December.
“We’re fortunate to be surrounded by such phenomenal heritage resources in Nelson,” says Astrid Heyerdahl, Chair of the Heritage Working Group. “Heritage extends beyond the stunning Victorian and Art Deco buildings and valuable industrial sites throughout our city. Heritage also refers to Indigenous sites, cultural traditions, storytelling, plants and trees, creeks and fish, craft-making, and knowledge passed from generation to generation —these are all vital examples of our heritage that make up the diversity and beauty of our area. We’re thankful for those before us who’ve insisted on saving valuable sites and stories, the people who carry on this important work, and to the City of Nelson for recognizing the individuals and organizations who make it their life’s work to bring our diverse heritage and history to life.”
The City’s Heritage Working Group established this award to recognize and publicly appreciate individuals, groups, businesses, or other organizations who have demonstrated leadership in heritage restoration, renewal, or promotion, and to acknowledge the contribution heritage makes to the City of Nelson’s vitality, well-being, and identity. Previous recipients include the Nelson CARES Society for their restoration of Ward Street Place, Touchstones Nelson, Joern Wingender, Peter Bartl, Greg Scott, Cartolina, and the Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce.
We are in AWE of the remarkable amount of heart, hard work and creativity we saw across the country in this first weekend of Culture Days! 💕
Cities, towns, rural and remote places of all sizes, in all corners of Canada, proudly and enthusiastically came together through music, performance, food, and culture to celebrate the remarkable resiliency and imagination of our communities.
Thank you artists, organizers, creators, volunteers, staff, and many more who make these celebrations possible, and for sharing your passionate care for community through arts and culture. We also want to send our hearts and thoughts to our friends on the Atlantic, who are giving added meaning to the word ‘resiliency’ after this weekend.
Whether you’ve been participating in-person or online, we hope Culture Days offerings have provided connection, awakened your creative mind, and fostered the value of cultural exchange 💥 And Week 1 is only getting started—with 21 more days of events of all things arts and culture ahead of us!
Welcome to Culture Days 2022 From the Culture Days National office
“There is an extraordinary selection of events on offer, and we invite everyone to join in to create, share and connect through arts and culture. For three weeks, millions of people across Canada will discover more about their communities’ artistic and cultural lives and, hopefully, inspire and nurture that creative spark within themselves. There are thousands of free in-person and online events to explore, and we are so excited to champion the creators, artists, connectors and organizations that make our communities so special.” —Shannon Bowler, Executive Director of Culture Days
