The Shirleys will take to the Evergreen Cultural Centre stage this Saturday with a young group well-known to Tri-City audiences: the Coastal Sound Youth Choir.
The choir, directed by Carrie Tennant, will open for the Shirleys and will also close the Coquitlam show with the septet, said ECC marketing director Jocelyn Calderhead.
The a cappella chanteuses - who also go by the sassy name of No S--- Shirleys and include former Coquitlam resident Karen Lee-Morlang - will appear on Feb. 19 at 8 p.m. as part of ECC's Celebration of Song series, singing from their wide repertoire that includes Cuban Carnival music, Russian and Chinese ballads and Appalachian protest songs.
The all-female group is known for its humanitarian catalogue, picking their songs that describe triumphs and troubles around the world.
Tickets start at $10 at ECC (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam). For more information, call 604-927-6555 or visit www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca.
