The Last Chance Saloon is inviting some top acts to its neck of the woods for September Long Weekend to mark the first WayneStock.
They have a full slate of musicians from the valley and beyond to mark the first annual festival. They include mainstays like Tim Hus and Kirby Sewell, as well as local acts Dooley Noted and Kyle Gerlinger, to name a few.
Paula Sutherland of the Last Chance Saloon says it is great way to end the season.
“We really love music here, so we thought what a nice way to end the summer by hosting WayneStock,” said Sutherland.
“We are hoping to make it an annual event and pulling talent, whether it be local, provincial or outside of Alberta for people to enjoy.”
A weekend pass to the festival includes camping and access to all of the musical offerings. There will be stages at Last Chance Salon inside and out. There are also day passes available from Friday to Sunday.
“We are rounding them up inside at the end of the night,” she said.
Sutherland is excited about the line-up.
“It’s our first, so we are doing a lot of local talent, they do have a following, and we have hosted all of them here at one time or another,” she said.
“Tim Hus has played here and we love him, Kirby Sewell has never played here, but he is very familiar with the East Coulee Springfest circuit,” she said.
Sutherland said the concert will be supporting the efforts of the Wayne Community Association.
Organizers are firming up the weekend schedule. Tickets are available at the Last Chance Saloon, or by going to www.visitlastchancesaloon.com.
