Two experienced entertainers deliver a heartwarming show guaranteed to send you home with a smile. Their songs touch a common ground, with the affection and warmth that only old friends share. Two memorable, funny and endearing guys, two guitars and two dozen songs that tell you where they’ve been, where they are, where they’re going – and why they are still out there, rattling down the road. They are still contenders: don’t ever count ‘em out! www.valdy.com www.fjellgaard.bc.ca
Pavlo

Guitar virtuoso Pavlo’s playing is dazzling. His music is influenced by his Greek heritage, Spanish guitar techniques, Latino rhythms and North American beats. He’s sold over half a million CD’s, and puts on a live performance of excitement and energy. His ‘Mediterranean Nights’ TV special is a big hit on Bravo. Band members join him on bouzouki, bass and percussion. If you liked the Montreal Guitar Trio, we think you’ll love Pavlo. And ... one lucky patron will win a $700 value acoustic guitar this evening.
