Entertainment
4pm: Black-Eyes Suzie
Combine the family vibe of the Rankins, the hurt of Sara McLachlan and the sensible rebellion of Neil Young and you’ve got black-eyed SUZIE; While staying true to folk tradition, this head-turning five-piece band is not afraid to break a few cardinal rules!
5pm: Dust Rhinos
From basement pubs to festival stages the Dust Rhinos have been bringing their particular brand of punk flavoured Irish trad to venues large, small, and otherwise since 1992. Blossoming from a trio of buskers to a 5-piece Celtic rock juggernaut, the Rhinos have tread the boards with acts as varied as The Dropkick Murphys, Gaelic Storm, Alabama, Leahy, the Barra MacNeils, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Whether a house concert, pub night, or festival (Dauphin Countryfest, Festival du Voyageur, Winnipeg Folk Festival, the Grey Cup Festival and counting!) the Rhinos’ controlled chaos will get people out of their seats, on the dance floor, and clamouring for One! More! Song!
7pm: Pirates on Stage
Join Martin Klebba “Marty” from Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End, plus Toby Markham as “Captain Jack” for a roaring good Q&A session you don’t want to miss!
