Langley sisters Robyn and Ryleigh Gillespie were at last month’s Golden Spike Days festival in Port Moody.
Now, the emerging country/pop duo will kick it up in Port Coquitlam on Saturday as part of the city’s Music in the Square series.
The performers will light up Leigh Square Community Arts Village from 2 to 4 on Aug. 1 along with Bridgeworks, an acoustic post-folk ensemble from PoCo made up of Michael Kragelj and Dylan Leonard.
Both groups have recently released EPs.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, for the Music in the Park series, Tambura Rasa Trio will entertain at Lions Park from 2 to 4 p.m. The weekend shows are free. Visit portcoquitlam.ca/leighsquare.
TO THE POINT
Get down to the sounds of the very funk Coco Jafro at Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park on Sunday.
The show from 2 to 4 p.m. is part of the Summer Sunday Concerts sponsored by Pacific Coast Terminals, the TD Bank, Chevron, Flavelle Sawmill and The Tri-City News. And the August line-up is just as swell: Famous Players Band (Aug. 9); R&B Allstars (Aug. 16); Brickhouse (Aug. 23); and So Tight Band (Aug. 30).
