Women of the Valley, a group of six local musicians, will bring sweet harmonies and original tunes to Simms Park on Sunday, June 11 at 7 p.m.
The group includes Brodie Dawson, Élise LeBlanc, Ashley Sykes, Christy Vanden, Tereza Tomek and Tracy Lee Canil. Musicians will be taking turns performing mostly original music, backing each other up and playing a variety of instruments. The sound will be soulful bluesy folk, with a gospel flair, a twist of pop and a twang of old school country. See bios for each performer at www.courtenay.ca/simms
