Legendary Singer Songwriter Barney Bentall coming to Rossland!
The Rossland Council for Arts and Culture presents Barney Bentall, sponsored by Teck, Trail Operations. Bentall will be fresh from the Olympics, having welcomed the torch with his group the Grand Cariboo Opry and playing a free show in Whistler Villiage during the games. He will be arriving at the Rossland Miners Hall Sunday March 14th.
When his group, Legendary Hearts dispanded in 2000, Bentall moved to Clinton, BC to operate a cattle ranch. After this change of perspective, 2007 brought the solo release of "Gift Horse" on True North Records. Bentall also formed The Grand Cariboo Opry with a variety of musicians as a way to help raise funds for needy residents of the downtown East side of Vancouver. His newest album "Inside Passage" is Bentall's seventh studio album, "I wanted to write a collection of songs that were loosley based on moving through life"
“During the past decade Barney Bentall has transformed personally and musically to emerge as one of Canada’s prolific folk/roots singer/songwriters. His sixth studio album, The Inside Passage, paints portions of a life’s journey.”
