This weekend, May Day festivities will be punctuated with some young, local talent who have made their way on the stage of the Drumheller Music Festival.
The Drumheller and District Music Festival Association is hosting a concert at the Badlands Community Facility on Sunday, May 5.
The concert features Kjel Erickson, who, as a youngster, competed at the Music Festival. Other performers include Chelsea Murphy, as well as sisters Shelby and Rayanne Laycock. All three performed at this year’s Music Festival and were recommended to compete at provincial festivals.
He says the Music Festival shows there is great talent in Drumheller.
“There are a lot of young people in the valley who are good at what they do,” said Erickson, adding that funds from the show will be shared between the performers and Drumheller and District Music Festival.
Erickson, an accomplished operatic singer, is studying music and Visual Arts at the University of Lethbridge, where he continues to sing. He is looking forward to the show.
The concert is at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 5 at the Badlands Community Facility.
