Rosie & the Riveters is a fiercely talented trio that performs uplifting folk music with a vintage 1940s flair. After a whirlwind of performances from Tennessee to the Northwest Territories, the band is ready to celebrate the end of 2017 in style and is very proud to present A Very Vintage New Year’s Eve!
This concert will feature the Riveters’ signature three-part harmonies, acoustic instrumentation, some sass, class and a whole lot of laughs! They will also break in brand new holiday songs they wrote such as “Baking with Rosie” and preview songs from the upcoming record they will release this spring. Megan Nash will return with her deeply personal songs and unapologetically open personality. Other special guests include storyteller extraordinaire and Saskatoon favorite, Bonnie Logan, who will grace the stage with her rich repertoire of stories, explosive original tales and hilarious holiday classics. Jay & Jo, the up-and-coming Trudel sister duo, will also make their debut at the Broadway Theatre with their nostalgic melodies and air-tight harmonies.
The evening will be full of glitz and glamour and will be a chance to dress up! Wear your grandmother’s pearls and dust off the vintage clothing you’ve been saving for a special occasion. There will be prizes for the best dressed and a vintage-inspired photo booth on site with accessories provided by Better Off Duds Vintage Clothing Store! The show will wrap up with a countdown before 11pm.
A Very Vintage New Year’s Eve will be held at the Broadway Theatre (715 Broadway Avenue, Saskatoon) on December 31st 2017. Doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 8pm. Tickets are $45 and can be purchased online at https://broadwaytheatre.ca/events?p=event&event=3966 , in person at the theatre or by calling 306-652-6556.
ABOUT Rosie & the Riveters
The band’s reinvention of vintage folk attracted national accolades for their debut album, Good Clean Fun!, which was released in 2015. It reached #9 on Earshot Magazine’s national folk/roots chart and their single, Ain’t Gonna Bother, reached #5 on the CBC Radio 2 Top 20. In 2016, they received a Saskatchewan Arts Award and also picked up nominations for a Western Canadian Music Award and a Canadian Folk Music Award. Rosie & the Riveters believe women are the world’s greatest untapped resource which is why they invest 20% of merchandise profits in microfinance initiatives through KIVA.org. They’ve helped women like Maria in Ecuador purchase a sewing machine for her tailoring business. To date, they’ve contributed more than $7000 to over 145 projects around the world. Since the band’s formation in 2011, the Riveters have made a grand entrance onto the folk scene, already having shared stages with the likes of Arlo Guthrie, Emmylou Harris and Serena Ryder. They have become media darlings along the way and have been featured in numerous media outlets including CTV’s eTalk Daily, Vintage Life Magazine and they were most recently called “one of the best live [acts] you’ll ever see” by CBC Radio 2 host, Rich Terfry.
