It was a hot one!

A few pictures from our (very warm!) weekend at Sandy Creek Gospel Jamboree in Saskatchewan:

A full weekend of music, with Borderline Drive playing a total of 4 sets over the weekend. We also had the chance to listen to and meet various other Canadian and U.S artists, some of them being in full time music ministry.

Next up is the Manitoba Sunflower Festival in Altona. Borderline Drive will take to the stage at 3:30 pm as part of the Sunday afternoon Gospel Concert.

2 shows

in one day. Borderline Drive played an afternoon show at Hecla Island yesterday. I did not travel with them (so there's no pictures to share!), but heard they played for a great crowd at the Hecla Community Hall. After their afternoon set they came back closer to home and played at the Buffalo Creek Music Festival. The rain cleared up shortly before they came on which was nice to see. BD played their own set, and then also did another set with John's sister Nettie. I think that's always a crowd favourite and a personal favourite of mine too.

Looking ahead, we leave for Sandy Creek in four days. Looking forward that! Hope to see you somewhere along the way this summer!

Celebrating 100 years

at Haskett, MB.

This where Alvin grew up, and where Alvin, Leah and Kayla still call home. So, it was appropriate that Borderline Drive performed as part of the Haskett Homecoming yesterday. Lots of folks were out from far and near to enjoy the entertainment and reminiscing. A highlight of the evening was the BD performance of the Alvin Elias original about Haskett, sung to the melody of the Beverly Hillbillies theme song.

Looking ahead, Alvin and John will be performing at the Winnipeg Folk Festival this upcoming weekend (July 6 & 7) with children's entertainer Aaron Burnett.

The following Sunday (July 15th) Borderline Drive will travel to Hecla Island for an afternoon performance at the Community Hall, and then head back for an evening performance at the Buffalo Creek Music Festival in Schoenwiese.

See you there!
