If you’re wandering by the river this month, be sure to stop and check out the Music by the River series.
The Arts Council of New Westminster is presenting the busking series on weekends at River Market.
On Saturday, June 4, you can enjoy music by the classically trained singer Judith. On Sunday, June 5, it's the transcendent soundscapes of Iveno.
On Saturday, June 11, Bruce Andrews offers up classic rock and familiar campfire tunes. On Sunday, June 12, classical guitarist Jonathan Zylberberg is in the spotlight with repertoire ranging from classical music to Spanish and Latin American folk songs, plus popular ballads arranged for classical guitar.
The following weekend, you can catch the acoustic instrumental duo Cranky Molluscs on Saturday, June 18, with everything from “waltzable French tunes to fiery tangos,” a press release notes. On Sunday, June 19, Chris and Justin O’Connor will be on hand with their Maritime-flavoured country, folk and classic rock tunes.
Then, on Saturday, June 25, you can hear from 20-year-old singer-songwriter Jelayna Murdoch of North Vancouver, with her brand of acoustic folk music.
All the performers play from noon to 2 p.m., and donations are always welcome. You’ll usually find the performers indoors, at the end of the food hall, but they may also be playing outside.
