Beat has given away two tickets for to Ridley Bent’s Oct. 2 show at Henotic with up and coming country singer Ridley Bent.  Robin Hepher  is the lucky winner for being the first to correctly answer that Ridley Bent was born in Halifax. He has roots all over western Canada and once had a dream of being a professional skier when he was living in Whistler.

The title track of Bent’s new CD “Buckles and Boots” is getting regular air play on modern country radio. He will be touring with Corb Lund in the fall. He combines elements of rap into his original brand of country and folk music.So don’t miss seeing him in a small venue.

At the Slice on the same night, Kent McAllister and the Iron Choir will be playing with Rob Ursel and the Burning Sensations.
The Deep Dark Woods return to Lethbridge with Little Miss Higgins , Oct. 4 at the Geomatic Attic. And don’t forget to watch out for zombies that same night as it is the third annual zombie walk, which kicks off at  5:30 in Galt Gardens and ends up with  a show at the Slice with the Phantom Creeps, The Grave Mistakes and the Brains.
Elliott Brood also returns to Lethbridge, Oct. 5 to play Henotic with the Wooden Sky.
