Organizers of the Bragg Creek Performing Arts Series are calling their next concert offering “a must-see for those seeking an unforgettable musical journey.”
Tim Isberg’s show is a part of the BCPA Concert & Confections series, which includes “a delightful spread of tea, coffee and treats included with your ticket price.”
A cash bar will also be available for patrons.
The concert is on Saturday, April 13 at 8 p.m. at the Bragg Creek Snowbirds Chalet at 19 Balsam Ave.
Isberg is from the heart of southern Alberta and is passionate about Western Canadian history.
“I am fascinated by the history that is right under our feet,” Isberg explained.
His latest album, Prairie Fire, has just been released, and he is coming to share this music with Bragg Creek.
Inspired by the narratives and historical events of the late 1880s, his music appeals to both music enthusiasts and history buffs.
In addition to being a performer, Isberg is an engaging storyteller. He is an accomplished singer-songwriter who has shared his musical talents with audiences around the globe.
Isberg’s repertoire melds alt-country, roots and folk melodies with his unique perspective on life. His goal is to connect with listeners in a deeply personal way.
In the release about the concert, organizers say: “It’s on stage where Tim truly shines, as he effortlessly weaves stories and songs with sincerity and a delightful sense of humour. The backbone of Tim’s music lies in his solid guitar rhythms and his ability to transport his audience into the very heart of each song’s narrative.”
The military veteran is an accomplished singer-songwriter.
“From Rwanda to Afghanistan, Tim has first hand experience of the challenges while deployed in different cultures and conflicts and amid the best and worst humanity has to offer,” his website states. “As a performer, he has entertained audiences in many corners of the world."
A multiple Academy of Country Music Awards (ACMA) nominee, Isberg's album Tears Along The Road, recorded with Grammy nominee and celebrated Juno
