SAVOUR THE SOUTHEAST RETURNS AND CHOOSES FUNDS RECIPIENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 4, 2016 It is with great pleasure that we announce today the return of Savour the Southeast on May 13th 2017 at Affinity Place. Last year’s event was a great success and organizers are hoping to make the 2017 version even better than last year. This year’s recipients of the funds will be the Estevan Kinsmen and Kinnettes club. The funds will go toward the building of a multipurpose facility in the Kin Park located in the hillside subdivision. Organizations had the ability to complete the online application for funding from September 15th – October 15th. After reviewing the seven applications that were received the committee which consisted of Josh LeBlanc, Jeff Walters and Heidi Hesselink were able to make the decision. “This decision was not an easy one to make, we would like to thank everyone for their submissions however we believe that the funds from the event will go to providing assistance to a long needed capital improvement in our city” said LeBlanc who is the Co-Chair of the Committee. “The Kinsmen and Kinettes hope to create a lasting legacy project for the the residents of the city and that is something we are proud to be a part of”. The event for 2017 promises to be bigger and better than last year. “We know that there were some crowd flow issues last year, we have fixed those” states LeBlanc. This year the goal is to increase the amount of total vendor’s form 50 to 65 for the year to come. Leblanc added that” if the public knows of a vendor that we should be aware of let us know, reach out to us through social media or contact us through our website.” Next years event has also elevated their talent with the recruitment of Private Drive a band based out of Weyburn made up of four young men who cover classic rock, country as well a play a collection of their original songs. In addition The Pistolwhips who are a blues-infused indie rock band from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The quartet is comprised of frontman Rylan Schultz, guitarist Paul Kuzbik, bass guitarist Zach Davies, and drummer Tallus Scott. The Pistolwhips combine upbeat indie rock tunes with old school blues licks and a dose of psychedelia to create a sound ...that is dynamic and captivating. In a relatively short period of time, The Pistolwhips have performed across Canada at a number of festivals such as Canadian Music Week, JUNOfest, The Sasktel Jazz Festival, MOSOfest, The Red Bull Sound Stage, Sasktel Summer Invasion, and Winnipeg’s Prairie Barge Festival. The Pistolwhips made their first trip overseas to perform a string of shows in London, England in October of 2014. The band’s powerful stage presence combined with their epic live performances and huge local following has led to some hailing them as a “local super group”. The Pistolwhips have shared the stage with Yukon Blonde, The Sheepdogs, Monster Truck, One Bad Son, Dragonette, Bend Sinister, The Deep Dark Woods, and 36!. The Pistolwhips continue to be road warriors. In February of 2015 they embarked on their biggest tour of Western Canada to date, including a performance at Vancouver’s Media Club and a show with fellow Saskatchewan band Close Talker in Kelowna. They are currently in Toronto laying down new tracks and working on a new album! These guys will take the stage from 9-11! To round the night off is Brody Siebert who is well on his way to proving he is a part of the new crop of country artists on the rise in Canadian country music. Born and raised in the small farming community of Spiritwood Saskatchewan, Brody grew up in a family full of musical talent. He grew up being heavily influenced by older brother Riley, as well as the greats such as Waylon Jennings and Garth Brooks. Brody flew down to Nashville in November 2014 where he recorded three songs with fellow Canadian Aaron Goodvin. The first two single releases “Lay it On Me Tonight” and “Back In Mine” hit Top 65 status on Mediabase Canada. Coming from a family of musical talent, Siebert has worked hard to be the musician he is today. He began learning guitar at 15, and singing came just as natural. His love for writing songs is where is passion lies and is something that speaks true to the artist that Brody is. In the short time he’s been on the scene, Brody has played Craven Country Jamboree, Carlton Trail Jamboree, Country at The Creek and has opened for the likes of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Aaron Pritchett. With an album out in 2015, Brody Siebert is an artist who knows who he is and represents a true rural background and roots that make him country to the core.
