WTC hosts Celtic rock sensation
Whitefish Theatre Co. brings Celtic rock sensation, The Derina Harvey Band, for a one-night-only performance April 20 at the O'Shaughnessy Center.
The Whitefish Theatre Company presents the Derina Harvey Band, an award-winning Celtic Rock quintet known for their big sound, humor and dynamic live shows. A family-friendly concert, the Derina Harvey Band will perform their “raucously entertaining” music Wednesday, April 20, at 7:30 p.m. at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.
Fearless front-woman Derina Harvey leads this Celtic sensation, winners of the People’s Choice Award at the 2018 Edmonton Music Awards. With a show that offers a fresh take on traditional folk songs, as well as a few originals, the Derina Harvey Band has a rocky, rhythmic undertow layered with guitars, fiddle, and topped by Harvey’s powerful voice and vibrant personality.
According to “The Celtic Show,” “the band has built its reputation through high-energy live shows “bringing color to your cheeks and creating music and joy that will fill your heart and soul.”
Based in Alberta, but made up largely of expats of Newfoundland and Labrador, Harvey will be joined by Edward Smith on bass, Jess Blenis on violin, Scott Greene on electric guitar, and Steve Pinsent on drums. This quintet has been likened to a “rockier” version of Canada’s Great Big Sea if they were fronted by Adele.
