The Night Market at Music in the Park with The Doggone Brothers and Diyet & the Love Soldiers
Submitted by Trail Arts Council on Tue, 18/07/2023 - 12:32pm
Join the Trail & District Arts Council and Trail’s Incredible Farmers Market on July 20 for an entertaining evening of food vendors, market, beer & wine garden and live music at The Night Market in Gyro Park. From 5 pm to 8:30 pm there’s lots to do all topped off with great live music! The music will kick off at 6:15 pm with the hillbilly musical stylings of The Doggone Brothers. This Kootenay-based duo is Clayton Parsons (The Good ‘Ol Goats, The Parsons) on banjo, guitar and dobro, and Michael Hepher (Craig Young Band, Redgirl, As The Crow Flies) on mandolin, octave mandolin, and guitar. The music is distinctly ‘grassy, with a dash of old country and a side of old-time music throughout their set of originals and cover tunes. Known for their spontaneous laughs, cheeky banter, and all-in stage presence, The Doggone Brothers round out their sets with incisive breaks, blood-style harmonies, and thoughtful tunes. You can count on it being a doggone good time! Then, at 7 pm, Diyet & The Love Soldiers will hit the stage. Their music is alternative country, folk, roots and traditional, with catchy melodies and stories deeply rooted in Diyet’s Indigenous world view and northern life. Diyet sings in both English and Southern Tutchone (her native language) and plays bass guitar. Backed by Love Soldiers: husband and collaborator, Robert van Lieshout (acoustic guitar, drums & percussion) and Juno Award winning producer, Bob Hamilton (electric guitar, pedal steel & mandolin) this trio multi-instrumental trio from the Yukon has a sound that can fill a big stage or capture an intimate room.During the last decade Diyet & the Love Soldiers have performed nationally in Canada and internationally in Europe. Performance highlights include major folk, jazz, world and multi-disciplinary festivals and theatres in Canada, tour in the UK and upcoming tours in Germany & The Netherlands. TV appearances include; APTN Indigenous Day 2019 Live, CTV Atlantic Morning Show and CBC New Years Eve 2020 National Broadcast. Continuing to live with feet firmly planted in two worlds, Diyet’s adventurous and sometimes chaotic life is on full display in her music. She often says, “yesterday, fishing for our dinner on the ice, the next day, on the stage singing for you!” Organized by Trail & District Arts Council, in partnership with Trail’s incrEDIBLE Farmer’s Market, our Night Markets have become a staple of Music in the Park where you may picnic, shop, and dance the night away.
