Old Man Luedecke and Teresa Ennis added to the SuperShow bill to open the 25th Multicultural Festival
Nova Scotia artists Old Man Luedecke and Teresa Ennis have just been added to the line-up for the SuperShow on Friday, June 26 at Alderney Landing which serves as the kick-off for the 25th RBC Multicultural Festival on the Dartmouth waterfront. The two new additions will add a roots acoustic based flavour to the SuperShow.
Also on the bill are: Grammy Award-winner Paula Cole ("Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" and the "Dawson's Creek" TV theme "I Don’t Want to Wait"), Juno Award-winning rock/R&B singer Divine Brown (“Lay It On the Line”, “Meet Me at the Roxy”, “Sunglasses”) and Juno-winning pop singer Sarah Slean (“Lucky Me”, “Get Home”). Halifax- based pop/rock trio MIR (“Invisible Science”. “So Perfect”, “What Goes Around Comes Around”) are the musical hosts.
The show will also feature a variety of local musicians in supporting musical roles as well as members of Symphony Nova Scotia. It is a one of a kind show and not to be missed!
During a summer that is busy with large shows as well as the hefty ticket prices that go with them, this event is a great family value!
Advance tickets for Friday’s SuperShow 2009 are available for only $32 (plus applicable taxes & fees) from www.ticketatlantic.com and local Atlantic SuperStores or just $40 at the door. Ticket price includes admission for one adult ticket and one child under 12 free!
Admission also includes access to all Festival events and activities (food, drink, displays and more music) throughout the entire weekend. Grounds open at 4PM (including the International Food Pavilion) and the show starts at 8PM.
