Having a Blast with The Whiskey Boyz
Rosanne Fortier - News Correspondent
Guests experienced a quality night out of music entertainment when Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 39 presented The Whiskey Boyz and a four course meal on June 1.
The dinner of tender pork ribs and chicken was catered by Diane Fausak and her crew with help from St. Mary’s School students which Diane admitted were awesome workers.
This band was established in 1992. Over the course of their years, they have charted nationally and internationally. They are signed to Deer City Records.
Band member Ken Polansky said they were on a Canadian tour. “We are based out of Edmonton now. We formed this band because of our love of country music.
My favorite part of performing is when the dance floor is cooking and people are having fun. That is what you do it for.
The challenges are it is hard because we are away from our families. It is also a lot of work to set up and drive to the place.”
The instant this band performed, the high energy and rollicking rhythms created the impression that everyone was in for a fun night.
They made sure the audience interacted and requested for them to sing along to some songs while enticed them to get up and dance by playing their favorite tunes.
