Saskatchewan country music singer Justin LaBrash enjoyed a bit of a homecoming during his appearance at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum (EAGM)’s After Dark concert series on Nov. 18.
LaBrash’s mother, Laureen LaBrash, is originally from the Kisbey area, and he had some relatives present among more than 30 people who were in attendance.
He performed an eclectic set in the first half. Covers of country music songs accounted for the bulk of his selections, but he also played some rock and blues covers.
LaBrash then mixed in a few original selections, including Play, which was the first song he ever recorded, and Honey Bee, which is his newest release.
The second half of the concert saw him play some honky tonk and party songs, as well as more of his own selections. LaBrash told the audience that he is a big fan of honky tonk music.
LaBrash was joined by his band, True North. Members of True North are Curtis Ficor on guitar, Robert Lane on bass guitar and Carter Kent on drums.
LaBrash’s concert was the last one for After Dark in 2016. The concert series will resume on Jan. 27, 2017, when former Estevan resident Joel Henderson, who performs under the name Poor Nameless Boy, will be appearing.
