The RedTree is a new restaurant in Fernie. A larger room than the other places too. They have been running a summer entertainment program where they bring in local acts to play through the dinner hour. BBT was offered a night and accepted.
The band gathered together at 1:00 PM to load out for the ‘acoustic show’ (guitars, ukuleles, banjos, accordions, 3 keyboards, a trumpet, baritone, tuba, cello, two electric basses, electric guitar, mandolin, lights, sound system....). All five were there - Troy, Mike, Mark, Steve, and Andrew. They filled Mike’s Blazer and Steve's Toyota. A small show only in band's mind. Set up was nice (and really hot).
They took to the stage at 7:00 PM to a half-full restaurant… and most everyone liked them – BBT kept the volume quite reasonable. They broke for a dinner break of prime rib etc. (beer was on the house too). They then got back up for a second set – until 10:30 or so. They played really well, with lots of heart and colour in their music.
A great show that left everyone very happy.
