The Great Plains are certainly no strangers to the Peace River Country as they have played up and down every highway and byway with their delightful, all Canadian show they call “Song of the Prairies”. Enjoy a heartwarming show filled with music, merriment, and mayhem, as Saskia and Darrel deliver a fun blend of folk music, an unpredictable series of songs that change every time you see them. They delight their audience with tales about Prairie Elevator, Blue birds, War brides, Louis Riel, Patchwork Quilts, and then surprisingly will share a wonderful tender song about their spiritual journey then break into Swiss yodeling, or sing in Gaelic, Spanish, Dutch, German or French. “Great Plains” are a veteran touring act; with an easy, crowdfriendly style that instantly endears them to any audience. This is true Canadiana; real songs drenched in Canadian culture and heritage delivered in a comfortable highly skilled set with oodles of self-poking humor. A taste of Celtic, a dab of bluegrass, and lots of engaging stories wrapped around extremely ear-wormy melodies. Bragg Section! They have toured extensively with Gary Fjellgaard and Valdy. They were awarded Top Folk Album in Holland, Artist, Album, and Songwriter of the year from SCMA, received Top 5 People’s choice awards, and have enjoyed many years airplay on CBC, CKUA and Top Indie charts in Canada, the USA and Europe. www.thegreatplains.ca http://www.youtube.com/saskiandarrel http://www.reverbnation.com/saskiaanddarrel
