Forty years after its inception, Bragg Creek Performing Arts is still kicking it and will once again be hosting a stellar group of performances throughout the year for its anniversary celebration at the Bragg Creek Community Centre.

Aaron Pritchett with Kira Isabella and David James - Oct. 12
Kicking off the party is country music star Aaron Pritchett with special guests Kira Isabella and David James. Isabella and James are performing on Oct. 12 in the second leg of Pritchett's Out On The Town Tour 2019. Pritchett is an accomplished Canadian country music singer with an impressive collection of CCMAs and a long list of BCCA, CCMA and Juno nominations. His recent single Better When I Do just hit number one on Canadian country radio. If you’ve been to any of his concerts you'll know he is an amazing entertainer. James and Isabella are two rising stars both with CCMA nominations and awards and will be celebrating the CCMAs in Calgary by keeping the country music momentum going. Doors open for the concert at 6:30 p.m. with the performance getting underway at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are priced at $39 for adults and $37 for seniors and students.

ReMix - Powered by Revv52 - Nov. 30
ReMix: Powered by Revv52 is an extraordinary group of singers based in Calgary. They are members of Revv52, Calgary’s Vocal Energy, which performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City in 2019, and at the 2017 Calgary Stampede Grandstand Show. Revv52 is one of Calgary’s longest-standing performance groups who regularly entertain thousands of adoring fans each year. The group performs concerts at the beautiful Bella Auditorium located within the Taylor Centre for the Performing Arts at Mount Royal University. The concert is at 7:30 p.m. with tickets selling for $30 for adults and $28 for students and seniors.

Hillsburn - Feb. 8
Hillsburn is a powerhouse. Their songs are timeless, their sound every bit as anthemic as Florence and The Machine, but with soaring three-part harmonies thrown in for good measure. After touring extensively in support of their award-winning debut, the band released a follow-up The Wilder Beyond in February 2018, and a deluxe version of the album in February 2019.

Hillsburn’s indie-rock sound draws on the songwriting focus of folk music, and combines it with pop sensibility. The band’s performances are dynamic, energized, and emotive. You won’t want to miss this band that is already on its way to becoming a national treasure. Tickets are $35 for adults and $33 for seniors and students.

Those interested in attending all three of these shows can get the 2019-2020 season discount of buying all three concerts and receiving 15 per cent off the base price. For more information visit www.braggcreekperformingarts.com.
