Description

7 p.m.— Marissa Van Hell. She started singing at age five, opened for Jason McCoy and has won several Idol contests. She sings country,pop, celtic and classic music.

8 p.m.— DNR. DNR is  a Lethbridge classic rock band which began in 2006 when two ER physicians guitarist Wes Orr and drummer Kevin Martin got together and decided to jam to relieve stress. They recruited co-workers RN Colleen West as a vocalist and  guitarist and internist Morley Wong to round out the line up as well as bassist/ family doctor Rob Strank. They play the hits of the ’60s to today

9 p.m. Chilliwack; Chilliwack http://www.gonegonegone.com/. Out of the ashes of the popular Canadian groups the Classics and the Collectors emerged what would become the genesis of the band Chilliwack. While the lineup has changed over the years, Bill Henderson has remained the motivating force behind the the band from the beginning to today's current line up.

The band began with Bill Henderson (guitar/vocals), Claire Lawrence (sax, guitar, vocals), Glenn Miller (bass, vocals), and Ross Turney (percussion).The band has put out 12 albums and has had several U.S. and Canadian hits: "Lonesome Mary," "Baby Blue," "California Girl," "Fly at Night," "Communication Breakdown," "I Believe," "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)," "Watcha Gonna Do When I'm Gone," and "Lean on Me" to name a few. The last three songs are most familiar to U.S. audiences and come from their "Wanna Be a Star" and "Opus X" albums.

Until recently, very little existed on CD. To the delight of many fans, "Wanna be a Star," "Opus X," and "The Double Album" have been remastered and released.During the past several years, Bill has been very active producing, performing, and presiding over SOCAN (SOCIETY OF COMPOSERS, AUTHORS AND MUSIC PUBLISHERS OF CANADA) for the past several years.

So why do a Chilliwack site? Bill Henderson and Chilliwack have proven themselves to be extremely creative songwriters and musicians, exploring different genres of music (Rock, Folk, Pop and Funk) and creating 12 wonderful albums packed with catchy songs. The band has been through numerous line-up changes, but Bill has always kept the band's direction focused and the Chilliwack name alive.
