Need a thoughtful gift to celebrate and thank your mother or any special lady in your life?  Why not consider taking her to the barbershop matinee Sunday May 10 at Sid Williams Theatre?  You’ll all love the show!

The first half of the performance – Gunfight at the BBS Corral is a hilarious cowboy musical with songs and stories of The Old West.  The Tidesmen Chorus and various quartets will sing country classics like “Cool Water”, “Ragtime Cowboy Joe”, and “Home on the Range” in barbershop style while an improbable story unfolds to delight all ages.  The second half of the show will feature Tidesmen Chorus and quartets with a number of their competition songs.  Guest performers will include feature quartet The Bon Vivants and special local guest quartet Hidden Plateau (Comox Valley) and Island Phoenix Acapella (Campbell River). 

Tidesmen is a 60 voice men’s barbershop chorus based in Nanaimo and central Vancouver Island. Since 1973 this acapella singing group has been making four-part harmony ring! This year the chorus is taking the show on the road to Courtenay for a Mother’s Day Matinee!  Complete information about Tidesmen at www.tidesmen.com
