I decided to go to the local concert last night. I am glad I did. I don't really like loud rock but this was good, and to play to her small town audience she also did an old Hank Williams and a Patsy Cline song, revved up a bit. I liked her own composition about her fondness for Guns and Knives. She is from the north of Canada and works as a cook in the fall at a fly-in hunting camp. I doubt she is a vegetarian. Below is part of the ad and poster info.
Miss Quincy the Showdown ..not to be missed !
Tickets are now available at ; The Ashcroft Bakery, Natures Gifts and our new location - in Cache Creek at The Jade shop.
Miss Quincy The Showdown is an all-girl dirty blues rock n' roll band based out of Vancouver. You’d better hide your sons and lovers when MISS QUINCY and her all-girl rock n’ roll band THE SHOWDOWN comes to town. Channeling Joan Jett and the early Stones spending the night together in a Tarantino movie, Miss Quincy doesn’t fit the classic girl singer/songwriter mold and The Showdown isn’t your average all-girl band.
You won’t find them singing pretty pages out of their diaries, instead you’ll find them starting a party everywhere they play by getting down and rocking out with raunchy roots blues and straight up rock n’ roll.
Miss Quincy has recorded 3 full-length albums and spent 5 years touring non-stop across Canada and Europe.
It isn't my normal musical fare but was a fun evening and the desserts were wonderful. I am more likely to be listening to Gregorian Chants but it is good to branch out. I also got to talk to some folk I hadn't seen for awhile.
It sounds like you had a great evening, Karyn. Fresh new music and quality time with old friends!! How interesting that the performer is a cook at a fly-in hunting camp. I bet she can tell some stories!!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you are always open!
ReplyDeleteThe interesting thing is that she finds going to that camp every year a chance to recharge and write new songs. You would think that cooking for a bunch of hunters and guides and pilots and First Nations crew would be a full time job. But to her it is fodder for songs.
ReplyDeleteWhat could be better - Rock n Roll and desserts!
