Rocket Science

With music characterized by infectious grooves, strong melodic motifs, extended improvisations and musical interplay”…you don’t want to miss this group. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rocket-Science/319353251496126

Trevor Murray

“Trevor Murrayʼs baritone vocals and catchy songs set him apart from the competition. His British Columbia raising and positive outlook on life, make him an instant favourite in the Canadian country community. Trevor’s the kind of artist who makes you want to dance, sing and forget about your troubles for a while.” More info: http://trevor-murray.com/

DaniElle

“Born and raised in small town Pitt Meadows on her family dairy farm makes singing country music an obvious choice for DaniElle. This singer, songwriter and John Deere tractor driver is a natural talent”

This is what happens when four of the industry's finest get together to create something special. Simple, powerful and instantly magnetic, the blend of heart-wrenching lead vocals and dead-on harmonies backed by prodigious instrumental talent strikes a chord with people of all ages, backgrounds and musical tastes.”

Harrison Hot Springs Lakefront Car Show August 15

Some of us have a love that we unashamedly lavish attention on both in private and in public.  We take the time, without being reminded, to nourish the relationship.  To keep our love in perfect repair so that it doesn’t crumble away in tiny increments that would soon become small holes and then gather speed and become even larger holes, that soon become costly and difficult to repair.
We are careful and respectful and considerate.

Our hands are gentle and our thoughts are forward thinking to how we can best maintain the beauty and integrity of our love.

• the feel of umblemished steel & aluminum
• the admiration of a perfect back end
• the jewel-like tones of her color
• the perfect symmetry of her grill
• the soft, lush feel of perfectly worn leather
• the strength hidden beneath her hood
• the ability she allows us to harness that strength
• the sweet sound of her voice
• and the knowledge that she is mine

Come out August 15th and enjoy a day strolling through cars from all eras, with the backdrop of the beautiful village and lake of Harrison Hot Springs.
