August 9, 2013 Darwell Barnburner Festival

It was a beautiful evening when the 8th annual Darwell Barnburner Festival took place on August 9th, featuring all Alberta acts this year, with Sweet Tequila, followed by Jaydee Bixby, and headliner Carolyn Dawn Johnson. Sweet Tequila did a great job of warming the crowd up and then keeping them there for an outdoor dance after the concert. Jaydee fans were thrilled to hear some of his new songs from his new album, and then having the opportunity to be the very first to purchase that album, Work In Progress, before it's official release on August 13th. Carolyn Dawn Johnson rocked the house with a great band featuring Matt McKay, Jessie Tucker, Steve Farrell and Mark Branconnier. In addition to performing all of her past hits, Carolyn showcased some new songs hot off the tip of her songwriting pen.
