SUMMARY:Music for the Wild
DESCRIPTION:MUSIC FOR THE WILD\nCharlie Ewing and Blue Rambler\nSaturday\, February 7\, 2015 \nHeadline Act\nCharlie moved to the Porcupine Hills of Alberta when he was a young and he has lived there pretty much the rest of his life\, ranching and living the cowboy lifestyle that dominates his song writing. The songs on his new album\, Buffalo Horses\, are the result of his personal history and ancestry. They are songs about cowboys\, Indians and wide open spaces… the freedom of the open road and the desire to stay rooted… longing for the past and the hope of tomorrow. \nOpening Act\nBlue Rambler is made up of good friends (Don Gowan\, Murray Little and George Campbell) who like old music. They play blues\, old country\, swing and newer styles that harken back to a simpler time. They like to have people join in singing\, swinging and listening to the stories in their favorite songs. \nLocation:\nTickets: $20.00 – buy tickets online
