Sat, Mar 28th, 8-10pm, Juno Award Winner Gary Fjellgaard – Western Roots *ENCORE*
“Canadian Country music Hall of Famer and Juno Award winner is pleased to announce a return engagement to Char’s Landing. Enjoy the intimacy of a solo performance which is Gary’s stock in trade.  His lyrical imagery draws on his Western Heritage to create songs of cowboy heroes, windswept prairies, the working man and romance. A champion of vanishing values and the frontier spirit Gary still tours extensively and will definitely keep you entertained with stories and songs”   
Gary's LATEST CD ~ The Collection LIVE SOLO ACCOUSTIC recording.  A collection of some of his favourite cowboy songs performed the way they were written with just guitar and voice, recorded live in the hushed atmosphere and special acoustics of St. Andrew's United Church in Nanaimo, B.C.  Raised on the farm on the Canadian prairies this award winning singer/songwriter is a champion of vanishing values and the frontier spirit. His western heritage, cattle drives, wagon treks, and working folks with ties to the land have all been an inspiration for the lyrical imagery in his songs.  In 2005 this Juno Award winner was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. Gary still tours extensively and looks back on a rewarding career and gratefully acknowledges the hundreds of town and cities and thousands of listeners who have been touched by his music. With his finger style acoustic guitar, gentle vocals, colorful stories, Gary takes his western roots music to the people with a rare sincerity.
