Prairie songwriter Stephen Palmer returns to Courtenay to perform a house concert, an evening of acoustic roots music in an intimate living room setting.
This non-smoking event happens Feb. 23. A donation of $20 is suggested, with all proceeds to the artist. As always, seats will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Since the 1960s, Palmer has performed a mix of original and traditional music 鈥� including ragtime, gospel, blues, and folk 鈥� in almost every size of venue; from rock arenas to pubs, coffee houses and churches.
His early folk-rock groups opened for many legendary rock acts including Led Zeppelin, the Who, and Cream. Now, with over 45 years of road experience, he is still finding new ways to explore his acoustic roots.
"A gently timbred voice with heartfelt lyrics backed by some very stellar acoustic playing. I detect a bit of Merle Travis in Steve's guitar playing." 鈥� Gary Fjellgaard.
"Nice playin.' " 鈥� Valdy.

He performs Feb. 23 from 7:30 to 10 p.m. at an undisclosed location. Contact Joan for details at 250-890-3325.
