Country rock band looking forward to Telemiracle appearance
As this weekend’s annual Kinsmen Telemiracle telethon draws closer, two local musical acts are busy preparing for their opportunity to shine on the stage.
The 20-hour event, now in its 42nd year, originates from Regina and raised more than $116 million to help purchase equipment and provide medical treatment for those with special needs.
For guitarist Lance Whitecalf and his band Midnite Luv, being selected to play at Telemiracle was a special feeling but then to find out the group was one of just two acts from the Battlefords area to be asked to perform makes it even more so.
“We are all very excited and honoured to be part of Telemiracle for sure,” Whitecalf said. “It makes you hold your shoulders a little higher and puff your chest out a little more with pride.”
