The Travelling Mabels
A “Stars For Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, Monday, February 29, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High School.
The Travelling Mabels, voted ACMA 2011 “Group of the Year,” are a folk/country female trio full of spirit, spunk and laughter. Collectively, their songs bring a wealth of life experience to the stage. Singularly, each woman can vocally stand alone, but once you hear the combined harmony blend, you will know why these three women came together. The beauty of the Mabels is that they represent three generations of women. This has opened the door to a dynamic energy both musically and in the rapport with the audiences that most wouldn’t experience every day. With musical influences from Dolly Parton & Bob Dylan to Sheryl Crow, along with their comedic, yet often heart-felt take on life, they more than meet a wide range of audience expectations. www.the travellingmabels.com
Tickets are available at the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, or Welcome Home Gift Shop. You can also go online at

Samuel Deason
A “Stars For Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, Thursday, March 31, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High School.
Samuel Deason presents Kaleidoscope. A project crafted with the intention of delving the depths of emotion and color. Intensity will be artfully controlled through a carefully selected and diverse repertoire contrasting in tension and release, culminating with explosive momentum to the end. Although each composer is famous and brilliant by his own right, some of the pieces are quite rarely heard by a live audience. Resoeugi’s Notturno for example, is an absolute gem in the piano repertoire and is among the most beautiful pieces ever composed. This mix of music is just the right one to balance inspire, and zap one’s physical energies, and musical palate!
