After a year of adventure across the continent, Belle Plaine is returning to the Prairies, and will be performing at the Tommy Douglas Centre on February 4. Weyburn will be one of 11 stops the performer will make during her 5th Annual Prairie Winter Tour, which runs January 22 to February 7. This will mark Plaine's first-ever stop in Weyburn.
Remarking on her choice to maintain the chilly tradition of touring Saskatchewan in January, Plaine said "It's a stubborn point of pride that we travel in the coldest months. A sign of a true blue prairie kid. We do it to bring communities together with music, but on a personal note, I revel in the knowledge that it guides us through winter's dangerous beauty. I don't think I'm alone in that appreciation."
The evening of musical entertainment will start at 7:30 p.m. and see local talent, Jeff Moser, as the opening act.
Musical talents, Jeremy Sauer and Elizabeth Curry will join Plaine on the stage. Sauer plays the banjo, accordion and keys, while Curry plays her part in the trio with the upright bass and backing vocals. Audiences will have the rare opportunity to see the trio perform after three weeks of creative collaboration spent together, with the specific goal of sculpting a new stage show for this Prairie Winter tour. Fans will be treated to new songs and increased diversification of instruments.
Advance tickets for the show are available at Pharmasave and Superior Office Products.
