Greg Rekus, Good Time Charlies

Winnipeg’s Greg Rekus is blasting through town on his annual January tour through BC! His high-energy set of foot-stomping speed folk tunes will be preceded by an opening set by our friends in The Good Time Charlies from Kelowna! Entry by donation. Sponsored by Respect Record & Skate!

Rekus’s passion for music is bursting at the seams. It is the driving force that keeps him constantly on the road, and cranking out album after album of folk punk goodness. During live performances, audiences are treated to an entertainer who treats the stage as his home. With high energy and infectious enthusiasm, Rekus has a natural ability to engage with a diverse assortment of crowds from around the world. His lyrics speak to common experiences, such as drinking in a favourite hometown bar, or the simultaneous joy and heartache of falling in love, but also do not shy away from making pointed political commentary, coloured with the anger and frustration that comes along with it. Delivering each line with a force that is rivaled by few other solo artists, Rekus emphasizes his words with every strum of his guitar, pounding the beat out on his custom-built stomp box. His hard work has already gotten him to places he never thought attainable, and as far as he’s concerned, the only way from here is up. www.gregrekus.com

The Good Time Charlies:

Our stage banter might make you laugh

Our songs will make you sing and dance

And yes, We’ll take those shots from the bar 🎶✌🏽

Folky-ish diddly doops

Dawn & Skye play the strings with Rob most times on stand up bass, & sometimes guest charlies join the stage.
