WEDNESDAY CAT COUNTRY COMMENTARY: A SUMMER CONCERT SERIES

(Listen daily for the Rod Pedersen Commentary at 9:50 am and 5:20 pm on Cat Country 98 FM)

HAVE I GOT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU.

WE ARE COMING UP ON THE SIXTH MONTH OF THE PANDEMIC AND THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY CRIPPLED.

SO THE ENERGETIC PEOPLE AT THE KRUGO APP HAVE PUT TOGETHER A HOTEL CONCERT SERIES THIS WEEK AND NEXT IN REGINA WITH SHOWS BY COUNTRY’S JESS MOSKALUKE AND CORB LUND, AND ROCKERS THE SHEEP DOGS.

IT’S ABOUT AS UNIQUE AS IT GETS. YOU AND THREE FRIENDS HAVE THE CHANCE TO PURCHASE YOUR OWN BALCONY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF REGINA’S DOUBLETREE INN WHICH COMES WITH THE ROOM FOR THE NIGHT, AND A MEAL FOR FOUR. PLUS THE SHOW, WHICH WILL BE PERFORMED FROM A STAGE ON THE ROOF OF THE BUILDING NEXT DOOR.

JESS MOSKALUKE PERFORMS TOMORROW NIGHT AND CORB LUND ON SATURDAY. THE AWARD-WINNING SHEEPDOGS WILL PLAY TWO SHOWS NEXT WEEKEND.

YOU CAN PURCHASE YOURS AT SHOWPASS.COM.

LOOK – IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE SHOWS. FOR MANY OF YOU LISTENING YOUR LIFE LIKELY HASN’T CHANGED AT ALL THE PAST SIX MONTHS. MAYBE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT HAS ACTUALLY GONE UP.

BUT FOR THE THOUSANDS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, IT’S BEEN ALMOST AS TRAGIC AS IT GETS. IT’S NOT JUST THE SINGER ON STAGE. THERE’S THE BAND, THE SOUND PEOPLE, LIGHTING PEOPLE, MANAGERS, PROMOTERS, ROADIES, BUS DRIVERS, TICKET-SELLERS AND EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUSINESS.

THEY HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES FOR A GOOD LONG TIME.

SO IF YOU’VE GOT CABIN FEVER, ARE LOOKING FOR A WEEKEND GETAWAY AND FEEL LIKE TREATING YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS, THIS IS IDEAL FOR YOU.

AGAIN – TICKETS AND INFO ARE AVAILABLE AT SHOWPASS.COM.

THAT’S TODAY’S ROD PEDERSEN COMMENTARY ON CAT COUNTRY 98.
