Kenny 鈥淏lues Boss鈥� Wayne in the LDSS MPR

The sixth performance in the Arts Council鈥檚 19/20 performing arts season takes place on, March 12 in the LDSS MPR, at 7:30 p.m. sharp.

Kenny 鈥楤lues Boss鈥� Wayne is living proof that inspiration and perspiration are what it takes to be a genius. With decades of playing, globetrotting tours and award-winning albums under the belt of his flamboyant zoot suit, the 74-year-old piano master might be the hardest-working bluesman in show business. And this true original isn鈥檛 changing his tune. 鈥淚鈥檓 not looking for a different path,鈥� says the Kelowna-based performer. 鈥淚 love jump blues and boogie-woogie. That鈥檚 where my heart is at. I鈥檓 just trying to keep that style alive. That鈥檚 classic stuff. And I鈥檓 at that classic age, so it all works out.鈥� Join us for an evening of great music, and look for the art exhibition in the lobby, featuring the work of Lynda Peebles. Look for posters around town, and our ads in the Lakes District 亚洲天堂. Tickets are now on sale at Process 4 Gallery, the Lakes Artisan Centre and LDFC Printing and Stationery. Tickets will also be available at the door.
