If you like bluegrass music, Winterline has a treat for you. The six-member band, based in Grande Pointe in northwest Chatham-Kent, are newcomers to the stage at Two Creeks, but they're looking forward to their performance Aug. 29.
Taking their name from the main street of their hamlet, Winterline plays a selection of old and new favourites.
"We do everything from the Beatles to Bill Monroe, from Miranda Lambert to Rhonda Vincent, so we have something for the young and the old," says Ron Jubenville, who plays banjo and performs vocals.
Also in the troupe are: Gabe Gagnon, on guitar and vocals; Joyce Gagnon, on mandolin and vocals; Bernie Caron, on mandolin, violin and vocals; Ken Robichaud, on dobro and Jared Lozon on upright bass. For more on the band, see their web page on MySpace.
The Two Creeks concerts, held Sundays at 6:30 p.m. on the Weil Stage in the natural amphitheatre at the conservation area just north of Wheatley on Kent Road 1, continue throughout the summer.
Admission is free, but the hat is passed to defray the expense of bringing in performers and to continue the volunteer work necessary to maintain the site. Refreshments are available from Wheatley Scouting.
Bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy the atmosphere. In case of inclement weather, the concerts are held under the pavilion. You can also bring used household batteries for recycling.
