Local band Flannel Roots opened the second event in the Safety Meeting concert series at the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Centre last Friday with a set featuring original songs that are on the band’s soon-to-be released CD.
“We’ve been recording a CD at Eat A Peach studio in town and are done for now,” said band member Rowan Dolighan, 21, before the show.
Dylan Pritchard, newer to performing in public than Dolighan, said his first performance ever was during last summer’s Arts on the Fly festival in Horsefly.
The band also played at Performances in the Park.
“Now I am excited about trying to get more venues for us to play at and promote interest in the local music scene,” Pritchard who was also scheduled to perform Saturday at an all-ages concert at CJ’s Western Grill.
The Friday concert was sold out and also featured the four-piece band Red Haven from Vancouver who are presently in Wells recording as artists in residence at Arts Wells.
Pharis and Jason Romero are next up in the Safety Meeting series, playing March 27 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at Red Shreds Bike and Board Shed.
Tickets for the Romeros are $20.
