Special to the Review
This weekend there’s another amazing line up of live bands and DJs scheduled for downtown Revelstoke.
I recommend stopping at each event throughout your night out downtown, it’s so great to see a diverse variety of music after a day outside.
Thursday
Virginia Rose w/ Guest DJ at Traverse
Miss Virginia Rose is a singer/songwriter from Vancouver with incredible pipes and skills on the guitar, keys, loop pedal, as well as a strong beat boxer.
She taught herself to become an avid mouth percussionist and beat boxer, with the use of her loop pedal Virginia can produce a sound that not only fills the stage all on her own plus hearts of the audience as well.
Music has the incredible ability to connect those that feel left out, Virginia’s sweet soulful vocals paired with her funky guitar and keys lends her the creative edge she needs to captivate an audience of all backgrounds. Miss Virginia Rose is ready to take the stage to spread the sunshine she knows the people need to get through their hard times. With a feel of soul/pop funk/hop she’ll have you up and dancing as you groove to her story and dreams of what’s to come next. Don’t miss out on the guest DJ who will follow up her performance, the Traverse crew always makes sure to keep the show pumping till last call.
Friday
Devon Coyote at River City Pub:
If you’ve never seen Devon Coyote make the effort to come downtown to check out his band of very talented musicians who put on an awesome show.
You’ll be treated to their smooth vocals combined with outstanding guitar solos plus smooth bass lines and solid drums to keep the beats going. I’ve been seeing these guys for a while now and never miss them when they put Revelstoke on their tour schedule, Devon is so skilled on the guitar and he really puts a lot of effort into his music you can tell how hard he works at getting better each time he takes the stage he’s very passionate about his music.
You’ll hear a combo of original tunes plus covers that the audience enjoys singing along to, expect most of the songs to be roots and blues with a bit of jam style rock thrown in as well.
