Bowen Island is in for another musical treat on Saturday, July 16, when the Rakish Angles perform a house concert at the home of Susan Munro and Bob Doucet, 1223 Miller Road.
The Rakish Angles are a boundary-crossing, genre-blending Canadian new acoustic stringband. They compose, arrange and perform exciting works of instrumental and vocal Newgrass, Gypsy-Jazz and Old-time music.
The quartet's first release, the self-titled The Rakish Angles (2009), was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award (2009) and a Western Canadian Music Award (2010)
Having played folk, jazz, and even writers' festival stages, as well as theatres, cafés, and house concerts across western Canada, the Rakish Angles are beginning to garner nation-wide attention and airplay. The quartet will be releasing their second album in the summer of 2011, featuring energetic four-part vocal harmonies.
The Rakish Angles are: Boyd Norman (bass), Serena Eades (violin), Dan Richter (guitar), and Simon Hocking (mandolin).
The concert starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 cash at the door, but seating is limited, so please get in touch with Bob at 604-947-0698 or bob@bobdoucet.com to reserve your seats.
Feel free to bring along some refreshments, if you'd like.
