Celebration of the Arts should feature a St. Albert band

I happened to see a poster promoting the Mayor’s Celebration of the Arts at the Enjoy Centre on March 21.

I happened to see a poster promoting the Mayor’s Celebration of the Arts at the Enjoy Centre on March 21.

I observed that the main music act at the high-profile event is Mac Daddy! Being highly involved in our local arts and music community, I know for a fact they are not a St. Albert-based band.

Being a proud and long-term citizen, I am appalled and disgusted to see that.

I must ask the question, “Why are we hiring a non-local band for our city’s Celebration of the Arts?”

There are many talented local bands that deserve the opportunity to play this high-profile event. The Cadillac Junkies, Thursday’s, Mourning Wood and Taming Jane just to mention a few. They deserve the opportunity, revenue and exposure.
