I only caught the last day of this year’s Rotary Dragon boat Festival, Sunday, June 24 at Henderson Lake Park.
And that was mainly because I wanted to hear Karen Romanchuk and Alyssa McQuaid and Coyote Junction who I haven’t seen for a while.
Karen Romanchuk sang a solid set of original material and covers including ”Hallelujah” and even turned Cyndi Lauper‘s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” into a pretty cool country song.
A group of Scott Davidson’s Chinook High School musicians were up next with a scrappy set of covers.
Davidson took centre stage as lead guitarist with Alyssa McQuaid and Coyote Junction.
They played a rushed set of modern country and classic rock covers including fast versions of Miranda Lambert’s “Little Red Wagon,” Cheap trick’s “ I Want You to Want Me” Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop” and Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”
They also played an excellent version of Alan Doyle’s “1,2,3,4”
