“They’re really excited about playing in Lethbridge again,” said New Brunswick raised singer Lyndsay Johnston adding they will be bringing their brand new CD for their very first, quick tour of Alberta.
“It’s been so much fun. I haven’t been been in any other band.In New Brunswick there aren’t many blues band, it’s mostly metal. Not a lot of people were into the same music I was,” she said.


“This is the first time  I’ve played with a group of people  who are all in the same mind frame. So it’s been pretty cool,” she said adding she is looking forward to their first tour together.
“It’s going to be so much fun. It‘s been a progressive blues-rock. It’s blues, but we’re mixing a lot of different things into it,” she added.
“It’s not like we’re trying to play exactly like Muddy Waters or anything. We’re doing our own take on the blues.

The show starts at approximately 9:30 p.m., July 10.
