Pat Buckna Presents is back. I’m pleased to announce that since retiring from the Cranberry Community Hall Association’s board of directors, I’ll decided to present shows again this fall. Many of Canada’s best acoustic music performers have performed in Powell River and several more are wanting to come. First up is veteran roots and blues performer Tim Williams. I’ve also made arrangements for Tim to perform on Texada Island the night before. Tickets will be on sale soon and watch for more announcements in the near future.

House Concerts

Many of you are aware that Sherry and I have hosted Home Routes house concerts in our home in Powell River for the past six years. We will be hosting once again starting in September and have made arrangements to add Texada Island on the Cedar Shake concert circuit.  We believe that Home Routes is an organization working hard to ensure that musicians can make a living from their profession. As hosts, we provide a venue, accommodations and meals.  100% of the ticket revenue goes to the performers. Home Routes has circuits across the country and takes on the enormous task of sourcing and booking performers, many of whom are award-winning performers. House concerts give attendees that chance to meet and connect with the performers in an intimate environment – an opportunity just not available in any other format. Once the schedule is finalized early this summer, we’ll post details and dates here on the site. If you join our mailing list, you can receive notice directly.
