U22 Music Productions and The Uptown Folk Club
Present:
FOLK – THE NEXT GENERATION
Friday, April 2 at the Norwood Legion

Join us for an unforgettable evening of performances from
3 of Alberta’s gifted young songwriters aged 16 and under!

Kayla Patrick:
Now 14, Kayla knew from a very early age that singing and performing would be a big part of her life. By the age of 10 she had recorded her first CD titled "My Hearts Beating Country" a collection of classic cover hits along with her original song "My Hearts Beating Country". Kayla is presently working with Barry Allen on her second CD which will combine original songs & classic covers.
Kayla is thrilled to be performing at The Uptown Folk Club!

Jonathan Drachenburg:
Now 16, Jonathan became inspired to learn his rhythmic, new-age style guitar playing when he came across some online videos of Don Ross in 2007. Since then guitar has been Jonathan's passion, and recently he has become a student of the great Don Ross via Skype!
Jonathan has an amazing passion for music, especially instrumental guitar, and he is working tirelessly to further develop all aspects of hismusicianship. Although he mainly plays covers at present, composing hisown original music has become a large focus.

The Command Sisters:
Charlotte (14) & Sarah (11) are two sisters that share a deep love for music and performing.
Charlotte is the writer of the duo. She is already on her way to mastering the craft of songwriting, weaving lyric and music with a sophistication that is well beyond her 14 years. When the two girls get up on stage, Sarah (11) is definitely the little firecracker. Constantly dancing and moving her feet, Sarah has the audience wrapped around her finger with her expressiveness and bubbly personality.

Charlotte & Sarah have been busy performing at events, such as Big Valley Jamboree, the Royal Alberta Museum, Stony Plain Cowboy & Poetry Gathering, the Caritas Foundation, Night of Artists, HomeFest, CFRN's annual Silver Bell's Tea & Festival of Trees with Carrie Doll, Vancouver Island Folk Fest. As well, the girls represented Canada at Disneyland's Southwest Conference.

Tickets: $12.00 advance - $15.00 door
Tickets available at Myhre's Music and Southside Sound
Doors: 7:30 pm Concert 8:00 pm

Hi everyone, Thanks for checking out my website. I have been writing songs and busy with pre-production for my next cd. I'm really excited to have my original songs recorded. I had a great time performing at the Edmonton RV show again. I'd Like to thank the folks at Western RV for being so supportive of my music.

We had a wonderful time last Sunday at the Cowboy Christmas Church gathering near Stony Plain Alberta. Although it was bitterly cold outside, Warm hearts gathered inside for an afternoon of good ole Country Christmas Music. I was privilaged to have Stewart Macdougall accompany myself and Jackson Mackenzie on one of my songs. Stewart MacDougall has toured with k.d. lang and Ian Tyson's Chinook Arch Ryders. He partnered with David Wilkie in the Great Western Orchestra (GWO), the group produced two albums. Stewart's songs are found on discs by Ian Tyson, Randy Travis, k.d. lang, and The Great Western Orchestra. Visit Mr. MacDougall's Website by clicking the link below http://www.troubleclef.ca

Hi everyone, I have been busy song writing and playing some local venues and coffee cafe's and have received encouraging feedback on my new songs. I am also excited to announce that we have finally settled with a recording studio for my new cd which should be completed early in the new year. Also stay tuned for some exciting changes about to take place with my website.

August 12 2009

Hi everyone, it's been a few months and I have been busy with family and songwriting. I've written 9 new original songs and can't wait to perform them on stage. My next performance will be at the Country Corn & Music Festival near Rimby Aug 20-23rd. Call Sheryl Curtis at 403-843-6553 for details.

The Bashaw Music festival was a huge success. This year the event was moved to the BashawAgricultural pavilion to accomodate over 500 guests that took in this years festival. There was something for everyone on the grounds. A slowpitch tournament at one end, Chuckwagon racing at the other end and a Music festival in the middle. Congratulations to the organizers, everything went great. I also want to thank my backup musicians: Ian Van Dusen, Stan Kontac, Bob Glidden, Dave Johnson and Chris Wakelin for all their help. Plans are already underway to make next years festival even better.

Hello everyone, Last weekend I opened for the Dwayne Cannan concert in Stony Plain Alberta, It was a lot of work preparing with backup musicians Ian Van Dusen, Lee Springer and Jackson Mackenzie and the music turned out just right. I ended my set with an original song that I wrote called "What Can I do" and the crowd loved it. Lee Springer added some beautiful lead guitar parts to it. I hope to record the song this summer as well as a song that was sent to me from a song writer from Branson , Missouri USA. Thanks to all of you that attended the concert and purchased my Cd's. The next Big show is The Bashaw Music Festival. This year there will be over 80 artists performing over three days on May long weekend. I'll be there Saturday night. If you are a Country and Bluegrass Fan, you won't want to miss this event.

Hi everyone , we had a wonderful time on our cruise. I performed a few times on board with the Great Canadian Barn Dance All Stars. The Dance floor was always packed and everyone had a lot of fun. It was nice to get away to some hot sun while it was so cold here at home. We wished that we could have stayed another week. Now it's time to get ready for another busy season. I look forward to seeing you all this summer. Take care

Hi there, another great year is drawing to a close. First I'd like to congratulate the winners of the Country Vocal Spotlight Competitions. Danielle Lowe was the 1st place winner of the Youth Division and over all Grand Prize winner . Lauren Adamoski was the first place winner of Jr. Division and Alex Hughes was the winner of the Open Division.

I performed my last performance of the year at the CFCW radio booth at Rexal Place during this years annual Canadian Finals Rodeo. I have been contacted by some Nashville and Branson area songwriters who have offered me to review their songs. I am very excited and hopeful that we can come up with some great music for my next cd.

I'd like to thank everyone that purchased my cd and I enjoyed performing all accross Alberta this summer. Me and my family are very excited to be going on a Mexican Riveria cruise in early January featuring the Great Canadian Barn Dance All-Stars. Thay have invited me to make a guest appearance during their private show on board the Carnival Spirit Cruise Ship. The rest of the time it's fun in the sun.

Once again thanks to everyone, hope to see all of you in 2009.

Kp.

I just got back from the StonyPlain 16th annual Cowboy Poetry Music and Art gathering. It was my first time there and I had a blast performing at the Chruch, the Tea House and the Market Place. The weather was perfect. I'd like to thank Bob Glidden and Ian Van Dusen for accompanying me and my Dad on stage, they were fantastic! I'd also like to thank Jackson Mackenzie for inviting me, and one special fan that came all the way from southern Alberta, Gordon Florence (Tex) just to hear me sing.

Hi Folks , we just got back from the Great Canadian Barn Dance Blue Grass & Classic Country Music Festival. I had soooo much fun performing there again this year and I'd like to give A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to the Kunkel Family for inviting me again. George Canyon closed out the show on Saturday evening and on Sunday , gospel music filled the air. Over 1000 people attended the festival through out the weekend and the weather was perfect . The Great Canadian Barn Dance is truely one of Southern Alberta's hidden gems. I'd also like to thank Calgary's radio station ...AM 1060 for playing some of my music on the radio during the Barn Dance Saturday Night radio show.

Bashaw Festival of Stars was again a huge success. The weather was fantastic this year and they had a sell-out crowd all weekend. Congratulations to 10 yr old Annie Pattison from Calgary. She did a great job singing and I'm sure we'll be hearing more about her in the up coming years. There were over 40 artists performing over the May long weekend from Country to Blue Grass and Gospel. Once again thanks to Ron and Penny Shantz for inviting me to be a part of the Festival of Stars.

Howdy folks,

2008 is shaping up to be another busy year. We had a great time in Castor Alberta and last week I sang at the Edmonton Rv Show. I'd like to thank the folks at Western Rv for inviting us for the third year in a row. We always have fun there. We met up with our friends from the Great Canadian Barn Dance and played a few tunes for them . The sound really came alive when fiddle player Tony Micheal showed up to play along to Cowboy's Sweetheart. I have been busy learning more songs and playing the guitar. I look forward to meeting up with friends from last year and making new ones this year. Drop by and say hello, and don't forget to visit my guest book.

I'd like to share with you a poem that was written by a fan while I was performing on stage last year in Rimbey Alberta.

Kayla :

Kayla Patrick is a singing star

Ten years old but she's gonna go far

up on stage with her dad by her side

she brings him along to give her a ride

He is a Picker - Songwriter but she steals the crowd

Singing all the right notes, her dad is so proud

Struttn the stage like Loretta Lynn

This little lady is bound to win

When her voice slipped on that last song

She caught it before it could take her wrong

and carried on like a star in full control

This young lady is really on a roll

So to Kayla Patrick and the Guy in Red

We're all certain she's gonna get a head

Years from now We'll hear her and then

Brag that we heard her way back when

Hi there,

2007 has been a very busy year and I have met so many nice people along the way. A big thank you to Maryanne Gibson of Global Country and Terry Buchkowsky at Northlands. As the year is drawing to a close I would like to reflect back over the year and share my experiences. One of the highlights of the year was my trip to Nashville and Pigeon Forge Tennessee in March. Bill Borgwardt from Canada's "Country Music News" accompanied me and my family while we were there and took us to many of the attractions in Nashville. The Ryman Auditorium,(the original Grand Ole Opry) was really neat. It almost had an eerie ghostly feeling because of all the history that took place there. There was a guitar on the old stage so my Dad and I got up to sing. There were some tourists from Texas that wanted my autograph and said I will be a big star one day. The sound in the Ryman was incredible. We got a glimpse of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill attending a press conference at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Then we were off to Pigeon Forge where I competed in the North American Country Music Associations International competitions. I won three awards and got to meet some great Country Music Legends, (Stonewall Jackson, Jim Ed Brown, Helen Cornelius, Jeannie Sealy, John Conlee). Then it was back home to Edmonton where a busy schedule was shaping up. I'd like to thank Ron and Penny Shantz from Bashaw Alberta for including me in their "Bashaw Festival of Stars Show". We had a blast and met so many talented artists there. Another highlight of our summer, now for the last three years has been singing at the Great Canadian Barn Dance near Hill Spring Alberta. Trevor and Lloyd Kunkel along with their families have treated us so well when we're there. This summer I was there for their annual Bluegrass and Country Music Festival. Brett Kissel also performed and we even got a chance to jam with him at our campsite. He is so talented. There are so many people that deserve to be mentioned. I especially want to thank everyone that purchased my CD. The feed back that I have received has been great. I hope to have another CD out by the end of 2008. Be sure to check my web site tour dates for up and coming shows. I always look forward to hearing from my fans so click on the Guestbook to your left and say hello.
