The sweet sound of live music is returning to Revelstoke this summer. Arts Revelstoke just announced the 2021 Guerilla Gigs lineup, with a diverse range of artists added to the roster.
With Revelstoke Summer Street Fest on hold for another year, Arts Revelstoke recognizes that summertime live music is incredibly important to locals, visitors, industry personnel, and musicians.
Alongside Arts Revelstoke partners, the City of Revelstoke and See Revelstoke, Guerilla Gigs is hosting 16 concerts this summer. These intimate concerts are hosted in iconic locations around the town. This year, a wide range of talent will be featured. Canadian artists Harry Manx and Jill Barber are playing, in addition to the Kootenay’s favourite dance bands Shred Kelly and Moontricks.
For those partial to a bigger sound, indie bands from Alberta are performing. This includes Juno-winner Celeigh Cardinal with her full band Scenic Route To Alaska, and emerging artist Wyatt C. Louis with his band from Calgary, Alta. For the folk lovers, Juno-winning husband-wife duo Pharis and Jason Romero are performing.
Guerrilla Gigs also features well-loved local bands, including Under the Rocks, Leila Neverland, Small Town Artillery and Chicken-Like Birds. Of course, no festival line-up in Revelstoke would be complete without home-grown talent. Partial to Pie kick off Guerrilla Gigs in rocking style followed by a new Revelstoke band, Shoestring Necktie, featuring some of Revelstoke’s most talented local musicians. May Davis will be launching her new album One Way Ticket with the original Kootenay studio band. Myra Morrison and Denis Severino are also back with swinging bluegrass and step-dancing.
Concerts will be held every Wednesday and Saturday from July 3 to August 25. Tickets are $20, and go on sale two days before each event at 9 a.m. on the Arts Revelstoke website. Sign up for the Arts Revelstoke newsletter for the most up-to-date information and special ticket giveaways.
