The Butchart Gardens' summer festival presents Four Chords of Wood, an exciting bluegrass band.

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.

Four Chords of Wood is an energetic group of talented performers based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Known for their love of hard driving Bluegrass music, FCoW’s music comprises rich vocal harmonies and strong instrumental accompaniment. The members are all experienced performers grounded in stage presence and audience rapport. The group’s professionalism and talent have brought numerous requests for appearances at clubs, private functions and public festivals.

Four Chords of Wood appreciates the roots and traditions of Bluegrass both from the performers' and audience’s perspective. They gather around a single microphone, lay down solid rhythm and dress it up with passionate lead vocals, tight harmonies and exciting instrumental solos.

Expect to hear waltzes, blues, sentimental numbers, fiddle tunes, gospel and some foot to the floor ravers. Expect to see some fancy footwork as each soloist steps up to the mic and then make way for the next.

But most of all, expect to be entertained!
