Genevieve and the Wild Sundays bring folk and old-time country to the Butchart Gardens on July 3.

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. There is no extra charge for lovely evenings on the Concert Lawn or for Firework Saturdays.

Soaring harmonies and catchy original songs are the trademarks of Genevieve and the Wild Sundays. Formed in 2013, the band is made up of Genevieve Charbonneau on vocals and guitar, Kelly Sherwin on vocals and upright bass, Laura Carleton on vocals and percussion, and Chandra Crowe on mandolin. The music is rooted in folk and old-time country, incorporating bluegrass rhythms, traditional folk, Americana, and pop.

Kelly and Genevieve are long-time members of the Balkan Babes, and Laura has performed and studied choral music for many years. Chandra adds her instrumental prowess to complete their signature sound. While Genevieve is the primary songwriter, Laura and Kelly also add original compositions and take turns on lead vocals.
