The brave people of Princeton came out to listen to The Wheat in the Barely despite the rain, hail, and thunder with lightening. Great to see you enjoying the music in the park!
The Wheat in the Barley, a Celtic based multicultural and multi instrumentalist folk band. A large part of their repertoire is made up of fiddle tunes but they include some traditional folk songs and original songs as well. They have been touring BC and Alberta playing concerts and doing return engagements for 26 years now. Princeton has always been one of their favourite communities to perform.

Princetonites enjoying the rock n'roll vibes of The Contractors at Veterans Square!!! You showed up and made the 2nd night of the Copper Valley Music Festival a hit!
Justin Dietterle, one of the band's members of The Contractors, describes their sound as "a classic rock top 40’s band with influences of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, Neil Young, and The Black Keys. We’re on a mission from god to bring sex and rock n’ roll back into the Similkameen Valley."
