Last year a number of Salmon Arm venues were added to the Roots and Blues music festival, and this year is no exception.
The Salmon Arm Music Crawl takes place, Aug. 18 with a number of performances around town.
The headlining performance by award-winning bluesman Tim Williams and new duo Harrow Fair, featuring Miranda Mulholland from the Great Lake Swimmers and Andrew Penner from the Sunparlour Players, tales place at the Shuswap Theatre on Hudson Ave.
Roots music fans will also be able to catch hot sounds of local and touring acts at the Blue Canoe, Shuswap Pie Company, Shuswap Chef, and the new Urban Market.
To bring the evening home, Music Crawl 2016 will, for the first time, funnel down to the festival site at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds for a rockin’ good time at the Boogie Bar-N.
Columbian reggae band De Bruces A Mi and blues maestro David Gogo and his band will rock the Boogie Bar-N starting at 8:30 p.m.
While the pay-what-you-can policy stays in place for the cafés, pubs and Shuswap Theatre performances, members of the Salmon Arm Folk Music Society will gain free admission to the Bar-N show, which is a licensed event.
Memberships are $15 and are available for purchase at the Roots and Blues box office at the festival site until 5 p.m. before the Thursday evening concert. Non-members admission is $20 at the gate.
