Derina Harvey Band at the LDSS MPR
The last performance in the Lakes District Arts Council’s twelfth season takes place on March 8 at 7:30 p.m. sharp in the multipurpose room at LDSS.
The Derina Harvey Band will perform Maritime music, and present a rockin’ East Coat ‘kitchen party’. Fearless front-woman Derina Harvey leads this Alberta-based Celtic-rock act, who offer an authentic east-coastexperiencewith a fresh take on traditional tunes as well as the band’s own original jigs and reels. Their rocky, rhythmic undertow is layered with guitars and fiddle, and topped by Derina’s powerful voice. These transplanted east-coasters have earned a reputation with their high-energy live show, leaving many an audience out-of-breath and hollering from their seats!
Lorna Hannett is the visual artist who will be presenting her artwork before the show and at intermission at the Derina Harvey Band performance. If you don’t know Lorna’s work, or even if you do, you may want to check out her website at: https://lornahannett.com
And … the LDAC will be announcing our thirteenth (lucky!) performing arts season at the Derina Harvey Band performance. You won’t want to miss it!

Tickets will also be available at the door the evening of the performance. Watch for our ads in the Lakes District News, and look for LDAC posters around town.
