For a few months now, the Clubhouse Restaurant at the Pender Harbour Golf Course, with its convenient patio, has been the only in-person venue since last fall to offer local live music. That’s changing quickly as summer weather makes outdoor stages practical and B.C. health protocols are again allowing indoor gatherings. On Friday, July 9 at the Clubhouse, singer-songwriter Patricia Burnett entertains from 5 to 8 p.m. On Sunday afternoon July 11 from 2 to 5 p.m., you can hear the Steve Hinton Band.
On the outdoor stage at Roberts Creek Legion on Friday, July 9, from 5 to 8 p.m., it’s The Go Band, with Grant Olsen, Fraser Blackley, and Pamela Mesner. The Sofa Kings are in at the same time on Saturday night, July 10. The legion is still offering pre-registration and ticket sales for its limited outdoor space, which you can do at rclegionevents.com.
Bonar offers up a mix of guitar instrumentals, pop, rock, and blues tunes, plus some originals at Persephone Beer Farm at North and Stewart roads Saturday, July 10 from 2 to 4 p.m.
