Country concert boosts support for Sask. talent
There’s a strong push to buy local, to support local farmers and buy Canadian made cars. But what about supporting local talent?
The Saskatchewan Country All Stars show at the Dekker Centre in North Battleford Saturday Sept. 17 hoped to do exactly that.
Brock Andrews, a musician who sits on the director’s board of the Saskatchewan Country Music Association, said the show was designed to give local musicians a boost.
“You support a local plumber so why not a musician?” Andrews said. “Our goal is to create strong branding that tells everyone there’s legit Saskatchewan talent in this province. Everyone should know these names. We’re on their radios all the time and playing local shows.”
