Cape Breton band ‘Pretty Archie’ to play Cugnet Centre The East Coast sounds of the group “Pretty Archie”, both acoustic and electric, will fill the stage at the Cugnet Centre in Weyburn on Monday, Dec. 3, a presentation of the Weyburn Concert Series as part of the 2018-19 Stars for Saskatchewan concert series. The four-member band will play a variety of genres as they entertain with their original material, with music ranging from country and bluegrass to rock and blues, with a full range of instruments. Pretty Archie is wrapping up an extensive tour that has taken them to many towns throughout Saskatchewan through OSAC, and Weyburn will be their final stop before returning home for December. “We grew up playing together,” said band member Colin Gillis, noting they decided to form their band about six years ago, after spending a lot of time growing in their abilities as musicians. “We came up the old slow way, where we played every night of the week,”
he said, noting their pace is much more reasonable now, allowing the band members to spend time with family at home before going out on the road again. With the success they have enjoyed, they don’t have to play so often now, and can plan for tours in international markets as well as in Canada. The group recently had concerts in Denmark and Germany before coming to Saskatchewan for this tour. “It went over really well,” said Gillis, noting one festival they played had a huge audience who enjoyed their music. They will have some shows over the holidays before they head off to a Celtic festival in Scotland in midJanuary, and later will do a tour in Australia. The genres covered by Pretty Archie include Americana, blues, country, folk and bluegrass, and the band has released three albums so far, with their fourth due out in February, called “Hanging On”. Their albums have received multiple East Coast Music
Award nominations. “We like to keep it positive and uplifting, and usually we try to have people enjoy themselves,” he said, adding they play a mix of some seven or eight genres and don’t want to get pinned down to just one or two. Their music on the CDs are all original songs which they write about things they have experienced and have gone through in their lives. “People relate to the truth of it,” said Gillis. “On this particular tour, there’s a lot of songs about small town life.” The band members will have a full range of acoustic instruments, from guitar to banjo and mandolin to electric guitars and bass. Gillis notes they will have advance copies of their new album at this concert, plus they will perform some of the songs from it, including their first single from the album. “We’ve had Weyburn circled on the calendar for a while now,” said Gillis, pointing out they’ve felt at home in Saskatchewan as
the friendliness of residents here reminds them strongly of home, apart from the differences in geography.
The concert on Dec. 3 starts at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are available at Music Craft, Old Fash-
