Alan Gerber Oct 7th
Centre for Active Living, 1229 Clarke Rd.
For those of you who know and love Alan's music, this is a rare opportunity to hear him live!
Alan started out winning a song writing contest in his hometown of Chicago, and as a 16 year old had two songs recorded at the legendary Chess Records.
He went on to be a founding member of Rhinoceros, the super group put together by Paul Rothchild, the producer of The Doors. Alan continued on with his solo career, touring with Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review, Leon Russell, and more.
Living in France for a number of years, Alan toured extensively with his American All Star Blues Band, until he and his wife Robin returned to Quebec to settle down and raise two kids, Eli and Hannah, now incredible young musicians who record and perform with Alan whenever possible.
This will be a solo show, where you can experience the full force of Alan's blues, boogie woogie, and fiddle playing.
Check out Alan's music here:
We will be serving beer & wine.
Tickets are $20, and will be available soon at Breadstuffs Bakery.

High Praise for all our hard work
The best thank you ever!!!!
As the last of the music faded into the night at our last evening in the park, we were presented with this lovely gift. This beautiful card was given to us by a young lady who has attended Music in the Park for years, and has always danced up a storm.
We've had a lot of accolades, thanks, and acknowledgements (yep, and even the odd complaint!) over the years for all of our hard work and efforts, but this one... this one. This one really means a lot.
Amanda, this is why we keep on doing what we do as volunteers and dreamers. You've touched us all more than you could ever know, and I can promise you this - we won't stop believing!!!
Music in the park - done for the season!
Thanks for all the support!
It was an amazingsummer of music. I know we say this evyer year, but it really was the best one yest!
Thank you to all our sponsors!
It takes a community to raise a child, and this baby gets a lot of love from businesses & individuals who donate each year. This year we are very grateful to the support of the District of Central Saanich and the The BC Arts Council.
Thanks to our volunteers!
Thanks to all our dedicated volunteers who came out and helped with set up, clean up, selling merch & 50/50, and all of the other details that come with pulling this summer long event together. You guys rock!
Our New Performance Stage
Construction has begun!!!
After nearly 20 years of temporary stages in Pioneer Park, the BBCA is building a permanent outdoor stage to be donated to the Municipality.
The new stage will be a community gathering place, hosting performances of all types – music, drama, lectures, family movie nights, workshops, yoga sessions, school performances, wedding ceremonies.. the possibilities are endless.
The park is already the site of our most popular events, Music in the Park and the Brentwood Bay Festival.
The stage will be funded and built 100% by donations and volunteers. No public funds have been requested. Working with a construction budget of $150,000, we have raised nearly two-thirds of this amount from local businesses, associations, construction suppliers and private citizens.
We welcome your participation!
All donations over $20 will be issued a tax receipt.
All donations over $1000 will be recognized in all promotion for the Grand Opening and displayed permanently on the BBCA website.
All donations over $5000 (bronze), over $10,000 (silver) and over $20,000 (gold) will be recognized on a permanent plaque to be mounted prominently on the new facility. As a result, they may be expensed as 'marketing' for corporate tax purposes.
Construction is scheduled to begin in summer 2017.
For more information please call Geoff Bate at 250-415-8213.
We are most grateful for the support we have received in making this dream a reality. See our sponsors listed on the Performance Stage page.
