Blake Berglund and The Vultures and Belle Plaine will be among bands representing Saskatchewan for the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference in Charlottetown PEI on August 22. The double bill will continue the split bill throughout PEI on a series of shows, including the Premier’s Reception in Charlottetown on August 24. Berglund’s fourth album, “Jasper,” is set to be released on September 16 via the artist’s independently operated label, Oceanman Records. The 14-song collection acts as a raw representation to his current writing style, extensive back catalogue, and follow-up to his acclaimed release, “Coyote.” Supported by the newly formed backing group, The Vultures, a cohesive thread binds the works captured live over a two night stand at The Royal Canadian Legion (The Jasper Legion) in Jasper AB. “The town of Jasper has the perfect mix of a relaxed atmosphere and a rowdy reputation while deeply rooted in Cowboy Culture. The efforts made over the past few years by The Legion to acquire top Canadian independent touring acts has molded its supporters and formed an intelligent and appreciative group of people. We needed to record this album there.” Berglund is currently engaged in a series of pre-release concerts (www.blakeberglund.com).
