The Butchart Gardens' summer festival presents The Sweet Lowdown, playing old timey harmonies and melodies.

This open air concert takes place on the Concert Lawn stage. Come sit on a bench, or bring a blanket and sit on the lawn.

The summer entertainment program is part of your general admission ticket.

Based in Victoria, the Sweet Lowdown is a trio made up of three strong singers, instrumentalists, and songwriters: Amanda Blied (guitar), Shanti Bremer (banjo), and Miriam Sonstenes (fiddle). Together they create music inspired by their love of the old-time, folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions. In 2011, the trio won the Monday Magazine M Award for Favorite Roots/World Music Group.

Amanda developed her unique voice singing with the Balkan Babes and travelling in the southern USA. Shanti learned bluegrass banjo as a young girl and has played with the Victoria bluegrass band Last Train. Miriam is a classically trained violinist turned fiddler and has played with the Shearwater Bluegrass Band. http://thesweetlowdown.ca
