Lloydminster Concert Series

The Dungarees WebsiteThe Dungarees Website

In homage to the seminal Canadian band, The Dungarees, Edmonton’s award-winning country music stalwarts, will play Blue Rodeo’s landmark album Five Days in July in its entirety.

A staple in the Canadian country music scene, The Dungarees have a definitive musical mandate - take the undeniable lyrical styling, soaring telecaster, and steel guitar inherent in classic country, and inject it with harmony and modern intensity to make it all their own.

The Dungarees have performed on celebrated festival stages including Big Valley Jamboree, Calgary Stampede, Country Thunder, Boots and Hearts, and Dauphin CountryFest.  The band has been humbled and honoured to serve as direct support for country music icons Dwight Yoakam, Alabama, Reba McEntire, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Zac Brown Band, and Blue Rodeo.

Nominated for 3 x Canadian Country Music Awards and 3 x Western Canadian Music Awards, The Dungarees are 7 x winners at the Alberta Country Music Awards including Group of the Year.  With a strong sense of community, The Dungarees host the annual “24-hr Gig-A-Thon” raising over $50,000.00 for the Alberta Cancer Foundation.

Huu Bac Quintet WebsiteHuu Bac Quintet Website

Canadian artist Huu Bac Quach leads an Asian-influenced jazz ensemble that weaves together contemporary jazz with the sounds and traditions of Peru, China, and Vietnam. Bac's travels inspired the compositions that create an intriguing musical dialogue, resulting in a masterful and incandescent blend of cultures. Bac's background includes intensive studies of the Vietnamese monochord and the Chinese fiddle, as well as encounters with Afro-Peruvian and Andean music. The award-winning quintet has toured North America and Asia, and Bac has twice recorded with Cirque du Soleil. This is jazz with an eclectic twist that seamlessly intertwines contrasting musical traditions in a punchy and light-hearted interplay of sound.
