The BIG VALLEY JAMBOREE SUPER BOOSTER, July 26, 2016 – Page 4
Broughton continues to soar after rising star award Lindsay Broughton Friday, July 29 Main stage 1 p.m. By Murray Green
Lindsay Broughton just released her newest single “We Don’t Mix” (via iTunes) and is excited to share the song with country music fans. The 2013 Country Music Association of Ontario (CMAO) Rising Star award winner will be stopping in Camrose for her performance at the Big Valley Jamboree. With lines like “we’re like the rock without the roll,” “We Don’t Mix” explores a common situation of trying to date someone new, but those individuals are not feeling an instant spark. Always one to show her appreciation to fans and with “We Don’t Mix” being such a relatable song, Lindsay asked fans to help make the lyric video for the single by sending in their favourite things that do not mix with the hashtag #WeDontMix. “I played at BVJ two years in the saloon after Miranda Lambert wrapped up the main stage on Sunday. It was phenomenal to say the least. I didn’t expect anyone to know who I was, or even show up after her show,” explained Lindsay. “I stepped onto the stage and their were 8,000 to 12,000 people waiting for me. It was the most incredible experience of my entire life. Half way through the show they were chanting my name,” she recalled. “Not only that, but when I got off stage I started to cry because it was so awesome and I went back to my trailer and the BVJ staff had decorated it and brought cake and cham-
pagne because it was my birthday two days before. My entire experience was phenomenal and I thought, ‘I can’t wait to go back’.” Lindsay has played at major festivals like the Boots and Hearts Festival and the prior performance at the Big Valley Jamboree. She has also shared the stage with country notables like Chad Brownlee, Emerson Drive and Gord Bamford. “I honestly felt that I made it in Camrose. If I never play another festival ever, I felt that I made it to the big time. It took me to the next level and a boost of
confidence. It is great to feel that support.” This year she made the move to the big stage. “I’m excited that I was asked to play the main stage because it has been a dream of mine. I’m really happy and excited about it,” she added. “Playing festivals are great experiences and Alberta fans are always welcoming.” Broughton was raised with music throughout her childhood in Brooklin, Ontario. Inspired by her musician mother, Lindsay began performing at a young age. In high school, she learned to play guitar and
joined the songwriting club. During a field trip to the capital of country music itself, Nashville, her potential was noticed. Encouraged by the praise, she was determined to pursue a career in music. After releasing a selection of her own songs on the Internet, she was approached by Brian Hetherman of Curve Music, who was taken with her raw talent and limitless potential. A deal was struck and Lindsay began her crash course in the music industry. Broughton will be playing on the same stage as Dierks Bentley. “That is com-
pletely overwhelming. Not only Dierks, but Jo Dee Messina is someone I’ve looked up to my entire life. I have listened to her music since I was a child, so for me, that is an accolade and another dream come true. It will be nerve-racking, but at the same time exciting knowing she will be there listening.” In a short time, Lindsay’s talent, passion and determination has led to recognition in the music industry. She has been featured as a SOCAN artist of the month, appeared in various songwriting magazines, had eight songs featured in the hit CBC show Heartland and had her songs covered by multiple artists – all before the release of her debut album. Her full length debut album, Take Me There, with a single of the same name, was written solely by Broughton. The album is pulled from real life experiences, but focuses on the cycle we have all gone through at some point; love, loss, and redemption. The single challenges the listener to think back to the moments in their lives that made them the happiest. It’s a toe-tapping, gritty, up-tempo song that encourages you to relax, and say “bring it on” to whatever lies ahead. “Being an artist is not just playing on stage. The songwriters’ workshop is great experience and a more intimate way to being with fans. Meeting people in person gives you the chance to share stories with them. It allows you to have different levels of gratification. It is all fantastic to me.”
Brownlee shifts gears, while retaining his sound Chad Brownlee Friday, July 29 Main stage 7:30 p.m.
A testament to his drive and talent, Chad Brownlee (MDM Recordings/Universal Music Canada) is an extraordinary example of what one person can achieve. Although he may focus on living in the moment, absorbing every treasured second with his fans while performing on stage, Brownlee has already lived a life many would argue could fill multiple lifetimes. An award-winning singer, songwriter, philanthropist and former NHL (Vancouver Canucks) draft pick, country music artist Brownlee is by definition a renaissance man, who lives by the credence that opportunity lies along the path created by the choices you make. With over a billion radio impressions to date, in recent years, his singles have rapidly climbed the country music charts, with multiple singles cracking Top 10, including “Listen”, “Smoke In The Rain”, “Crash” and his cur-
rent single “Hearts On Fire”. He describes “Hearts On Fire” as a “powerful, energyridden love song, express-
ing a kind of fire only found within the essence of a passionate relationship. With this single, I truly feel I’ve
reached another musical gear and have pushed the envelope, without losing that sound that has defined me as the artist I am today.” Written by Angelo Petraglia and Erik Dylan, this is the title track and first single, off of his fourth album, Hearts On Fire (released in April). “The new album touches on a broad scope of topics, laden with lyrical substance. Musically, it reflects a little of what the audience already knows as me, as well as a fresh new side that has yet to be seen,” said Brownlee. Over the last few years, Brownlee has received critical acclaim and numerous accolades including a highly coveted 2013 Juno nomination for Country Album of the Year, and consecutive Canadian Country Music Association Male Artist of the Year nominations (2012 and 2013). For this British Columbia native, a strong work ethic defines his successful transition from the ice rink to the stage.
As Brownlee released the fourth album in his discography, he is reflective and conveys a philosophical honesty regarding his musical journey. “(It is) quite surreal actually. I’m starting to grow to accept how incomprehensible time is. I really didn’t know what to expect when I started down this music road. It’s like watching a bucket of water fill up one drop at a time. In the moment, it may seem slow, but before you know it, the drops have filled the entire bucket.” “ A culmination of many days and nights on the road, and hours in the studio, Brownlee has been taking the Canadian country music world by storm. “At the beginning of my journey, and still to this day, I just want to write the best song in each moment of creativity and sing the best I can sing each time I perform,” he stated.

The BIG VALLEY JAMBOREE SUPER BOOSTER, July 26, 2016 – Page 6
Big Valley Jamboree excited to welcome country star Carrie Underwood to this year’s lineup Carrie Underwood Sunday, July 31 Main stage 9 p.m.
So much can happen in a decade. Just ask Carrie Underwood. It was Jan. 18, 2005, when the fourth season of American Idol premiered and fans first heard the shy Oklahoma college student who Rolling Stone would later hail as “the female vocalist of her generation…of any genre.” In less than 10 years, Underwood has sold 56 million records worldwide, scored 21 #1 singles, and earned nearly 100 major accolades, including seven Grammy Awards. Through it all, Underwood’s sheer talent, tremendous fan appeal and explosive success have earned her a towering media presence: from gracing innumerable magazine covers to performing the national anthem at the 2010 Super Bowl, from performances on Saturday Night Live to welcoming Oprah Winfrey into her Nashville home for the third of her appearances on Winfrey’s shows.
It’s hard to believe that a decade ago, Underwood was a small-town girl from Checotah, Oklahoma, who had never even been on an airplane until her American Idol experience. After winning the FOX talent competition, she immediately made music history as the first country music artist ever to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, doing so with her first single, “Inside Your Heaven”. When her album, Some Hearts, was released in November 2005, it debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and #2 on the all-genre Billboard 200 sales chart. Some Hearts, which also included the singles “Jesus”, “Take the Wheel”, “Don’t Forget to Remember Me,” “Wasted” and “Before He Cheats” went on to become the best-selling album of 2006 in all genres and a sales juggernaut, now RIAA-certified seven times platinum. Over the past decade, Underwood has blossomed from a shy young woman with
an incredible voice to a seasoned, superstar headliner, selling out arenas across the U.S. and Canada, and becoming an in-demand ticket in Europe and Australia, as well. Recognized as Pollstar’s top female country touring artist for her headlining tours in 2008, 2010, and 2012, Underwood documented her most recent outing with the 2013 DVD release, The Blown Away Tour: LIVE, while Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum celebrated Underwood that same year, hosting the special Blown Away Tour exhibition. “I can’t believe it’s been a decade since I auditioned for American Idol,” Carrie admitted. “So much has happened since then. In some ways it feels like it was a million years ago; in some ways, it feels like it was just yesterday. I’m honored that I’ve had that much love and support over the past 10 years and I’m so happy that I still get to do what I love.”
Performers Bowen and Esten take the stage Clare Bowen and Charles Esten Saturday, July 30 Main stage 5 p.m.
Clare Bowen currently stars as Scarlett O’Connor on ABC’s musical drama television series Nashville. The series premiered in 2012 to critical acclaim and was nominated in both 2013 and 2014 for Favorite New TV Drama at the People’s Choice Awards. Comprised of originals and covers performed by Bowen and her co-stars, the debut album The Music of Nashville: Season 1, Volume 1 rose to #1 in the Country Album category and #12 in the All Genre Album category on iTunes within hours of its release by Big Machine Records in 2012. Big Machine has continued the momentum with the release of both The Music of Nashville: Season 1, Volume 2 and The Music of Nashville: Season 2, Volume 1 in 2013. In 2012, Bowen appeared as the female lead in Jared Moshe’s directorial debut Dead Man’s Burden. The Western film explored the story of a husband and wife (Bowen’s Martha) trying to survive in New Mexico following the Civil War. Bowen’s other film credits include Not Suitable for Children opposite Ryan Kwanten, The Clinic, and 10 Days to Die. A native Australian, Bowen has appeared in several of her home country’s iconic television dramas, including Home and Away, All Saints, The Cut, and Chandon Pictures. She also appeared in the Australian film The Combination. Credits in several musi-
cal theatre productions are certainly a testament to Bowen’s range as a performer. Most recently, she starred as Wendla in the 2010 Geordie Brookman-directed rock musical Spring Awakening, under the co-artistic direction of Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton at the Sydney Theatre Company. Bowen resides in Nashville, Tennessee, where she is currently collaborating with T-Bone Burnett on her debut solo album. Burnett served as the executive music producer on Season 1 of Nashville. Born in Pittsburgh, Charles “Chip” Esten was raised in Alexandria, VA and attended T.C. Williams High School (made famous in the film Remember the Titans.) He then attended The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, where he graduated with a degree in economics and met his eventual wife, Patty. While in Williamsburg, he was lead singer/songwriter in a popular local band. Esten made his theatrical debut in London when he portrayed Buddy Holly, singing, acting and playing guitar in the hit West End musical Buddy. In that role he was honoured to perform for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, and eventually President and Mrs. George H.W. Bush at The White House. He was also very honoured to perform with Jerry Allison and Joe B. Mauldin, Buddy’s original hitmaking bandmates, the Crickets. It was during his run as Buddy that Esten first appeared on the original
British version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? with Ryan Stiles and Greg Proops. When Whose Line came to ABC, he became a recurring cast member and frequent song improvisor. Since then, he has appeared on Drew Carey’s Improvaganza and toured frequently, performing live improv shows with Stiles, Proops and Jeff B. Davis. Esten’s many additional television credits include recurring roles on Big Love, Enlightened, The Office and ER. Besides being the father on Disney Channel’s Jessie, he has been a Klingon on Star Trek: The Next Generation, a secretary on Murphy Brown and Kelly Bundy’s fiance on the series finale of Married with Children. His film credits include Swing Vote, Thirteen Days, 61* and The Postman. While on Nashville, Esten has been honoured to perform at the Grand Ole Opry and the historic Ryman Auditorium. He was also honoured to officially flip the switch at the 2013 Graceland Christmas Lighting ceremony. Many of the songs he has performed as Deacon (“Undermine”, “Sideshow”, “Playin’ Tricks” and including “I Know How To Love You Now” an original that he co-wrote with his friend, Deana Carter) are available on the very successful Nashville soundtracks that have been released to date.

Author takes readers on a medieval adventure By Lori Larsen When Camrose born Bart Eriksson was playing Dungeons and Dragons as a teenager he could only imagine that one day he would be doing a book signing on his own fantasy novel. Escape from Rindorn is an adventurous story set in medieval times based on Jonathan, an orphaned boy. “This young man doesn’t really have much respect for authority,” said Eriksson. “He plays harmless practical jokes in his town but nonetheless these jokes irritate the people in power, and this is a medieval society so that type of thing is not tolerated.” As a result of his pranks the main character (Johnathan) is arrested and put in jail. “He is supposed to be executed,” further explained Eriksson. “So his name is published and at that point he learns his parents are quite important and they were killed as part of a political struggle in the country. He has both friends and enemies that he never knew he had
and his friends manage to get to him first and more-or-less rescue him. His enemies try to track them down which explains the escape. They have to flee to safety until he can get to his uncle’s house.” Eriksson began writing the novel 22 years ago as a hobby. “When I started writing I didn’t think I could write a book and that is one of the reasons it took so long to get it done,” he said. “I chose this genre because it was the type of thing I read a lot as a teenager so I picked what I was familiar with then just kept writing.” Even though he doubted his ability to write a book, Eriksson’s sister never did. In fact, she was one of the major influences in him finally putting pen to paper. “My sister showered me with books on how to write,” said Ericksson. “She kept sending them to me until eventually I gave in and tried to do it. “However the idea first came from a cousin back when I was a teenager. We used to
play Dungeons and Dragons. He (cousin) would write his own short stories. I saw the stuff he did and I thought maybe I could write some day but never really thought I could until my sister brought these books to me.” Eriksson currently lives in Cochrane with his family and is a pastor at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, but his ties to Camrose are strong. Both parents still reside here and his brother, David Eriksson, is the chaplain for the Bethany Group. “I still consider Camrose home,” he said. Readers may be treated to more fantastical adventures from Eriksson. “I do have a sequel for this sitting on my computer and people have told me I can’t wait 20 years to get the sequel out.” For Eriksson, the greatest satisfaction in completing his first novel was not necessarily seeing it published. “To me, giving the rough draft to people to read and discovering that they wanted to read it and they liked it, that was so rewarding,” he said.
Bart Eriksson On advice to budding authors Eriksson said this, “It is possible to take on a big project and do it as long as you’re persistent, even intermittently, as long as you are persistent.” He referred to a book written by John Braine entitled How to Write a Novel when speaking about the process of writing. “You don’t have to
have your plot fully completed in your head when you start writing, just have a general idea of what the book might be about and then the ideas come to you as you write,” he said. Escape from Rindorn is available for purchase in Camrose at Cathel Books, Wildrose Co-op Food Store, Wisemen’s Way and Books For You.

Autumn Hill ready to shine this summer Autumn Hill Saturday, July 30 Main stage 3:30 p.m. By Murray Green
Autumn Hill released their latest album, Anchor, last June, earning them a nomination for Group or Duo Of The Year at the 2015 CCMAs and a 2016 Juno nomination for Country Album Of The Year. The single, “Blame” went Top five at Country Radio – the band’s highest charting single ever – and they just wrapped up an awesome run of tour dates with Gord Bamford. Tareya Green of Calgary and Mike Robins had immediate chemistry when they sang together at a Wax Records holiday party and decided to form a country-pop duo. Their 2013 debut album, Favourite Mistake, named after their first co-write, yielded three Top 20 hits, Juno and CCMA nominations, and a crossover hit at pop radio with debut “Anything At All” – the first Canadian country act to accomplish this feat since Shania Twain. “We played at the Big Valley Jamboree three years ago and on the same day as one of my all-time heroes Tim McGraw. Being from Ontario, BVJ is something you hear about as a legendary festival; it was such an honour to be part of that bill,” recalled Mike. “We loved playing there.” Following a year of touring and recording internationally, Autumn Hill has solidified a connection with their fans, and found a confident new direction on their sophomore album, Anchor. “The first single from our first album was ‘Anything At All’ and one of the lines is ‘you were tied to me like an anchor to my soul.’ Ever since then, the anchor has been a symbol for our band,” said Tareya. “People have actually got an
anchor with the lyrics tattooed on their bodies. So we had this idea of writing a song about finding your place in this world, finding somebody to love, and saying, this is where I want to drop my anchor.” They are also anchored in their career. “We never stopped writing,” said Mike. “We got to road-test half of our record, so we got an idea of what we wanted to bring into our live show. For us, it was upping the energy but maintaining the Autumn Hill sound from the first record, which is more ballad and harmonies, but we wanted to
inject our live set with this energy so a lot of our songs we were writing had that sound.” Now with their hearts firmly anchored to a collection of powerful new songs, Autumn Hill has their eyes fixed on the horizon and are set to sail to new heights. “To come back to Camrose is a bit of a dream come true. We have been so fortunate to be embraced by the country community in such a way that we can come back to this incredible festival in a bigger way,” explained Mike. “For us it is upping the ante and upping the show to bring
the best live performance that we can. The first time we only had one record. Now we play a lot of songs from Anchor, a couple of surprises and a few from the first album. We want to get the show going with a lot of fun energy,” continued Mike. “It will be as good of a party as we can get going.” The band rose to an entire new level after playing in Camrose last time. “It helped us tremendously. There are certain things that you need to cross off your bucket list and get on your resume and playing at such a loved and respected festival as the Big
Valley Jamboree is one of them. It really cements you in the country music world. It is such a big festival that it gives credibility to anyone who plays there.” Mike lists Blake Shelton as another hero of his. “I can’t wait to see and hear him play. I haven’t been lucky enough to see him live. I can’t wait to jump out in front and hear him play. If there is someone who knows how to entertain a crowd, it is Blake Shelton. “We want a high energy concert with an opportunity for sing-a-longs in our show. I promise there will be a few special moments just for Big Valley,” he shared. Autumn Hill likes to get to know the crowd. “One of my favourite parts is signing autographs and getting a chance to talk to the people who come out to watch our show. It is something we always want to do. It is one of my favourite parts. I love to be in those songwriters’ workshops to talk about the songs as well.” With a second album out the stakes get higher for the band. “It comes back to the songwriting. There is no better feeling than people learning your songs and singing them back to you at the shows.” Tareya treats Big Valley as a bit of a homecoming. “She has a connection to Alberta fans and her family comes out to hear us play. Playing with such a talented performer and one of my close friends, well, it doesn’t get any better,” he said.
Doll Sisters influenced by Irish and Scottish heritage The Doll Sisters Thursday, July 28 Saloon 8 p.m.
Hailing from the rolling foothills of Rocky Mountain House, The Doll Sisters are a fiery Celtic Americana duo who weave haunting harmonies and stellar songwriting together to create a highenergy live show for their audience. As skillful multiinstrumentalists on guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin and bodhrán, Jenna Leigh and Shelby Doll tirelessly strive to push the boundaries of female musicianship. Fusing influences from their rich Irish and Scottish heritage with elements from roots and rock, they have created a signature sound that is uniquely their own. The girls’ music and performances have drawn them comparisons ranging from Heart to Alison Krauss to The Civil Wars. Audiences everywhere are smitten with the sweet and salty juxtaposition the Doll Sisters present. Rankin-
esque harmonies, unorthodox bodhran and unbridled vocals are only a few of the show stopping moments that
fans have come to expect from this fierce duo. The Doll Sisters are honoured to have been awarded the 2015 Edmonton Folk
Music Festival’s Emerging Artist of the Year Award, and are two-time nominees for ACMA’s Duo/Group of
the Year award in 2013 and 2014. Past Canadian Folk Music Award nominees, they have shared stages with the likes of Clayton Bellamy, The Good Lovelies, Coig, Cindy Church, and Lisa Brokop. A growing resumé consists of multiple folk festivals, including the acclaimed Edmonton Folk Music Festival and Canmore Folk Music Festival along with many folk clubs, concerts and house shows. The girls have brought their music into BC, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Halifax and have crossed the border into the US, showcasing in Kansas City, New York and a festival tour in Florida. Their sophomore album, Off the Edge of the Earth, released in 2014, was a milestone project that showcases the duo’s multi-dimensionalism as both artists and songwriters.

Have fun at Big Valley Jamboree!
Jo Dee’s newest album ME marks her most personal album to date. Jo Dee wrote, or co-wrote, many of the songs on the album under her own newly established label, Dreambound Records. For the first time in her career, Jo Dee is able to boldly do things her own way. Spring 2013, the fiercely independent, outspoken and driven artist was without a long-term record deal, so Jo Dee took to the crowd-funding website Kickstarter.com to create a new full-length album. The My time. Our music. campaign allowed her backers to be involved with every step that goes into creating and recording the album, and rewarded them with exclusive content and one-of-a-kind opportunities.

Shelton’s showmanship sure to get BVJ crowds going Blake Shelton Saturday, July 30 Main stage 9 p.m.
It honestly doesn’t get much better than this: superstar Blake Shelton’s new album If I’m Honest is his third consecutive album to hit number one on the Billboard Country Albums chart. Simultaneously, the album’s first single “Came Here To Forget” reached the top spot on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and the Country Aircheck chart, making it his 17th consecutive number one single and 22nd overall. Blake co-wrote three of the songs on the album including “Friends”, which is the featured song in the #1 animated movie Angry Birds, “Savior’s Shadow”, a gospel / hymn tinged song he performed on NBC’s prime time Red Nose Day special, and “Go Ahead And Break
My Heart”, a song he wrote and recorded with Gwen Stefani. “I don’t even know how to talk about this album as a piece of music as I do just kind of a timeline,” Shelton said. “As country artists go, I think we’re supposed to sing about our life experiences, and I’ve done that before, but not to this extent.” Blake is no stranger to success. In 2014, Shelton released Bringing Back the Sunshine, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Country Albums charts. The album includes the singles “Neon Light”, “Lonely Tonight” (featuring Ashley Monroe), “Sangria” and “Gonna”. All four singles have reached #1 on the Country Airplay chart. Shelton joined the ranks of the Grand Ole Opry in 2010, and
has earned a host of awards and nominations throughout his career, including Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year in 2012 and five-time Male Vocalist of the Year (2010-14). The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee, recently opened the exhibit, Blake Shelton: Based on a True Story, which examines the star’s road to success, from his childhood to his move to Nashville as a teen, and from his multi-platinum recording breakthrough to becoming a national celebrity. A range of artifacts, including stage wear, instruments, song manuscripts, photos and personal items help tell the story of Shelton’s struggles and triumphs.
Dungarees mix classic country with a modern intensity The Dungarees Friday, July 30 Saloon 1 a.m.
The Dungarees have a definitive musical mandate... take the undeniable lyrical styling, twangy telecaster and steel guitar that they love from classic country and inject it with modern intensity and pop sensibility. One of Canada’s biggest rising country stars, The Dungarees have performed at some of the biggest country festivals in Canada, including Big Valley Jamboree, Dauphin CountryFest, SunFest and have opened, as direct support for Blake Shelton, Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert and Shooter Jennings. The band’s first single “Ain’t Through Being Happy Yet” was mixed by Nashville genius at the board – Mike Purcell, and has received
rotation and feature plays on commercial country radio across Canada. They recently returned from Nashville where they wrote and demoed material for their upcoming album with Grammy award winning producer, Ray Kennedy. In April 2015, the band travelled to Ontario and performed a private showcase for Warner Music Canada. Through that meeting, The Dungarees solidified a deal with RoadAngel/Warner Music. The Dungarees took home a Country Artist of the Year title at The Edmonton Music Awards and were short listed for Roots Artist of the Year for the 2015 Canadian Country Music Awards and were nominated for Group of The Year at the 2015 Alberta Country Music Awards.
Alee lends a fresh up-tempo style to country music Alee Saturday, July 30 Main stage 2 p.m.
Alee’s fresh up-tempo style and sound is redefining country music and with a strong musical background, she has the goods to back it up. A singer-songwriter-musician-entertainer regarded for her musicianship, Alee combines the strength of her original songs with charismatic performances. She has the versatility of a veteran performer, able to take her songs from fully band-backed, to simple acoustic renditions. Varying each show from the preceding one, she exudes an essence described by her audiences as engaging, passionate and authentic. Alee’s performances and accolades span festivals including Carlton Trail Jamboree, Westerner Days, Capital Ex, Canadian Finals Rodeo, and she continues to gain recogni-
tion in the east and south in Nashville. Alee’s original first single “Real” released in 2012 hit #53 on the BDS charts, followed by “What’re We Waitin’ For?” debuting at #47 on the Mediabase chart. Alee started 2013 off with a bang with the release of “Don’t Say You Love Me”, which climbed the Canadian Country BDS and Mediabase radio charts to the Top 25 after only seven weeks, and ranked as the #8 Canadian song. It was also the fastest moving indie country single at Canadian radio for 2013. Alee is currently on the road, loving the interaction with the Country music listeners during her Canadian dates this summer, along with being able to share some of the songs off of her debut album This Road Goes Everywhere.

Jo Dee’s fans surpassed her $100,000 goal, making hers the most successful Nashville campaign and the 15th largest funded music campaign in Kickstarter.com history.

John Michael Montgomery Sunday, July 31 Main stage 3:30 p.m.
John Michael Montgomery has turned an uncanny ability to relate to fans into one of country music’s most storied careers. Since the days when “Life’s A Dance” turned him from an unknown artist into a national star, John Michael’s rich baritone has carried that most important of assets — believability. Few artists in any genre sing with more heart. John Michael’s origins lie in deceptively modest beginnings. He was born in Danville, Kentucky, to parents who imparted a lifelong love of music. The family band played on weekends throughout the area, and John Michael and his brother Eddie eagerly soaked up everything about it. John Michael took over lead singing after his parents divorced and performed for a while in a band called Early Tymz with Eddie and their friend Troy Gentry. Nashville talent scouts noticed John Michael and by the early ‘90s he had a record deal. The hits followed steadily, with songs like “Rope The Moon”, “If You’ve Got Love”,
“No Man’s Land”, “Cowboy Love”, “As Long As I Live”, “Friends” and “How Was I To Know” establishing him as one of the elite acts of the era. He received the CMA Horizon award and was named the ACM’s Top New Vocalist, setting off a long series of awards that included the CMA’s Single and Song of the Year, Bill-
board’s Top Country Artist, and a Grammy nomination. Asked, what he thinks gave him the edge in a career that calls millions, but gives stardom to just a few, he pauses, then thinks back to the legacy of his parents. “I reckon it was good genes and good blood,” he said with a smile.

In 2015, it was a breakout year for this young Alberta born and raised spitfire. With a CCMA Spotlight Performance at the CCMA Legends Show in Halifax, four BC Country Music Award Nominations, the 2015 BCCMA Ray McAuley Horizon Award and a radio tour throughout three provinces, she has made her mark. To top it off, Danielle’s sophomore album Here Right Now broke the Top 25 iTunes Country Album Chart within 24 hours of release. In 2016, she had the release of her co-write with Byron Hill “Drive Away,” her biggest song yet at radio with 15 weeks on the Canadian Country top 100 TRAX chart. Danielle spent the month of January in Nashville writing for her next project with some of the finest – Patricia Conroy, Phil Barton, Michelle Wright, Byron Hill, Tenille and Kim Tribble. Often called the “whole package”, Danielle’s wholesome personality and impeccable work ethic have industry eyes following her closely. Danielle recently opened for George Canyon’s Jekyll and Nothing to Hide Tour in Kamloops and has some big summer festivals to look forward to, the first one kicking things off for Big Valley Jamboree’s Kickoff Party
in Camrose at end of July, then off to Sunfest Country Music Festival - Cowichan Valley the same weekend, the 10th anniversary Manitoulin Country Fest in Ontario in August, as well as Veggfest in Vegreville, AB along with quite a few charity events including Relay for Life, the BC Children’s Hospital and Canuck Place.
Danielle is headed back into the studio, this time with Scotty Chops (Scott Cooke) at the helm. Scotty is known for his work with Florida Georgia Line, Dallas Smith, Cold Creek County and Chase Rice. She is anticipating an early fall release for the single and a fabulous 2016.

The BIG VALLEY JAMBOREE SUPER BOOSTER, July 26, 2016 – Page 14
Bentley returns to headline Friday night Dierks Bentley Friday, July 29 Main stage 9 p.m.
Multi-platinum singer/ songwriter Dierks Bentley has stormed the charts with “Somewhere On A Beach”, the lead single from his ninth studio album BLACK, that was released in May. “It’s hard to believe your 14th #1 hit could be your fastest rising. I’m blown away at the reception of the new music, and I can’t wait to start peeling back more layers of the album with the other songs,” said Bentley of the song’s success. He continues to exceed expectations with the autobiographical and ambitious material found on BLACK, as he explores breakups, hookups, mess-ups and everything in between. Dierks has had one of country music’s most respected and most unpredictable careers. Since making a life-altering drive to Nashville when he was 19 years old, Bentley has forged his own path in a competitive industry.
His self-titled debut was released in 2003. He
co-wrote 11 of the album’s 13 tracks, including the #1
hit “What Was I Thinkin’”. The album was a breakout success and went platinum. In 2005, Bentley released Modern Day Drifter, which also went platinum and earned him two #1 hits for “Come a Little Closer” and “Settle For a Slowdown”. The album stayed true to Bentley’s country roots and secured his status as a major player in the music industry. He won the CMA Horizon Award and was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry at just 29 years old, making him the youngest musician to ever be inducted. In 2006, he released Long Trip Alone, with #1 hits “Every Mile a Memory” and “Free and Easy” (Down the Road I Go). With so many hits under his belt, it was time to release his first greatest hits album in 2008. Bentley’s fourth studio album, Feel That Fire, was issued in 2009. The title track and the single “Sideways” earned him another pair of #1 hits. Up on the Ridge followed in
2010. The full-fledged bluegrass album that was more of a critical success than a commercial one. Home was released in 2012 and featured 12 new songs he debuted, while on tour. “Am I the Only One” reached #1 on the Billboard country charts, putting Bentley back on the radio. With the release of his hugely successful 2014 album RISER, Dierks became one of only three country artists to earn two certified platinum and #1 radio singles in 2014. “I Hold On” and “Drunk On A Plane” gave Bentley two of the year’s biggest backto-back hits. Written and recorded in the year following his father’s death, the album was a deeply personal project. Mixing elements of modern country, classic country, bluegrass, and rock, Dierks continues to maintain an unmistakable identity while constantly reinventing his sound.
Ortega a long ways from faded glory with release Lindi Ortega Sunday, July 31 Main stage 2 p.m.
Welcome to Faded Gloryville. Leave your dreams behind. In the eyes and imagination of acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter Lindi Ortega it’s a place we’ve all been, we’re all familiar with or will one day know all too well. And for Lindi, it was also the source of inspiration — in title and in spirit — for her stunning new collection of country-kissed songs that make up her fourth fulllength release Faded Gloryville. The album is filled with the sights and sounds and souls of those who’ve found
themselves in Faded Gloryville, brought to its saloons, flophouses and cheap motels by drink, debt, vanity, heartbreak, failure, fear or misfortune. Her first glimpse of the place, oddly enough, was in another artistic vision, that of the Jeff Bridges film Crazy Heart, which depicts a fellow musician exiled in a similar metaphorical town, downand-out, drunk and debasing himself and his talents for those who could care less. “I had a moment where I thought, ‘Could this be me? Could I wind up like this?’” said Lindi. Just as it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to those familiar with her incredible gifts
that the feisty, fiery and fierce force of nature had no intention of taking up permanent residency in Faded Gloryville. But, lest you think that the album is one with no hope, an obituary for those who find themselves at the outskirts and on their way into a life from which there is no return, Lindi points to the opening song “Ashes”, which speaks of rising, Phoenixlike, out of that heartbreak and despair and finding oneself, evolving into something more. Ultimately this story, her story, everyone’s story can and should be one of redemption.
Veteran performer Raye tributes Campbell Collin Raye Friday, July 29 Main stage 3:30 p.m.
Born Floyd Elliot Wray in De Queen, Arkansas, Collin Raye was one of the true hit makers of the 1990s. With 24 top 10 records, 16 #1 hits and having been a 10 time Male Vocalist of the Year nominee (five CMA and five ACM), Raye remains one of the great voices of our time. Collin shot to fame with “Love, Me” in 1991 a song that set the stage for a career built on meaningful, emotional songs. In 1994, Collin released “Little Rock”, an anthem for those struggling with addiction, and its video led to over 100,000 phone calls to Alcoholics Anonymous from folks seeking
help. “Not That Different” was a song that pleaded for tolerance, “In This Life” became a wedding favourite, and “I Think About You” won awards for its song and video, which exposed the exploitation of women and children. Topping the charts with hits like “On the Verge”, “One Boy One Girl”, “What the Heart Wants”, “Every Second”, “That Was a River”, “Anyone Else” and “If I Were You” Collin continues to touch hearts. In 2010, after the loss of his precious grandchild Haley, Collin and his daughter Britanny (Haley’s mother) established The Haley Bell Blessed Chair Foundation, which assists the dis-
abled by supplying wheelchairs. Collin wrote “She’s With Me”, a song for Haley, with a powerful message for families of special needs children. In 2011, Collin released his first inspirational album, “His Love Remains”, which quickly shot to #1 on Amazon for inspirational/religious music. Collin’s latest album Still on the Line featuring Ricky Skaggs and Billy Dean, is a tribute to his longtime friend Glen Campbell, who is battling Alzheimer’s Disease. Collin continues to perform both traditional country and religious concerts. His soulful, heartfelt songs have the honesty and richness that is signature to his vocals.

The Dead South will have the audience boot stomping The Dead South Sunday, July 31 Main stage 1 p.m.
The Dead South is a four-piece acoustic ensemble based in Regina that is made up of Nate Hilts, Scott Pringle, Colton Crawford and Danny Kenyon. The band blends elements of folk, bluegrass, classical, and rock resulting in a unique, modern and authentic blend of boot-stompin’ music. Hilts’ gritty vocals and aggressive guitar strumming combine well with Pringle’s soaring harmonies and mandolin chops. Crawford’s blazing banjo licks and steady kick drum complement Kenyon’s prominent cello melodies. The Dead South released its first EP in 2013, featuring the tracks “The Ocean Went Mad” and “We Were to Blame”. By April 2014, they had completed their first full-length album, Good Company. While showcasing at Toronto’s Canadian Music Week, they caught the attention of Jörg Tresp of Devil Duck Records (based out of Hamburg, Germany) who immediately signed the band, released the album in Europe, and booked them for numerous overseas tours. The band has received local and national recognition as well. The Dead South won the Queen City Rocks Battle of the Bands competition, beating out 24 other bands. They were also selected to represent Saskatchewan in the nationwide CBC Searchlight competition for Canada’s best new artists. Their success has led to airplay on several major radio stations, feature stories in newspapers, television appearances on Global and CTV and they even made the cover of Regina magazine, City Slicker. The Dead South continually pushes the boundaries of what is possible with four ordinary acoustic instruments. Their unique abilities and energy make them an impossible band to duplicate, and a fixture of the Regina music scene that will not soon be leaving.
Houser shares positive vibes
Aaron Goodvin
Randy Houser Thursday, July 28 Saloon 11 p.m.
Goodvin connects through his music Aaron Goodvin Friday, July 29 Main stage 2 p.m.
One of the benefits of growing up in a small town is learning to make your own entertainment. For Aaron Goodvin, from Spirit River, that meant joining his family around the campfire for singalongs. At 12 years old, Aaron entered a singing contest at a local mall. Once he heard the crowd’s applause he knew performing was what he wanted to do. He learned to play guitar and started writing his own material and by 18 he was contributing songwriting cuts to other artists. Over the years, Aaron built a local reputation as a dynamic performer with a rock solid portfolio of songs. He began making trips to Nashville to test the waters in country music’s Mecca. After signing with publishing powerhouse Warner Chappell Music, Aaron scored his first
major-league contribution on the track “Out Like That” on Luke Bryan’s multi-platinum album Crash My Party. Aaron continued to develop as a performer, and eventually caught the attention of Johnny Reid. “I told Johnny that I just wanted to share my music with an audience,” said Aaron. “He’s taken me under his wing, which shows you what kind of guy he is. He truly wants to help other artists.” Aaron’s versatility and passion for writing and performing is second to none. He has a natural ability to light up a stage, connect with his audience and deliver a show-stopping performance, whether it’s a small intimate gathering or a crowd of thousands. “I want to get out there and connect with people through my music. I’m a passionate guy who tries to write about real life things that mean something to a lot of people,” he said.
Randy Houser is a man refreshed. “I don’t know how it happened, but everything in my life has started lining up,” said the Lake, Mississippi native. “I must have done somebody right in the past.” Those positive vibes of renewal ripple through Houser’s three consecutive No. 1 hits, “How Country Feels,” “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” and “Goodnight Kiss” from his Stoney Creek Records debut album, How Country Feels, released in 2013.
Randy Houser
Tracks on How Country Feels echo the title single’s sunny self-assurance, including “Growin’ Younger” and “Along for the Ride,” which Houser co-wrote with Zac Brown. There is contemplation, too. “Like a Cowboy is about me coming home for a few days, then having to leave again,” Houser said. Route 3 Box 250D provides an intimate snapshot of the singer’s upbringing. “That one’s kind of hard to listen to,” he admitted. “It hits almost too close to home.” Houser’s past achievements include multiple nomi-
nations for ACM and CMA Awards, a No. 2 single “Boots On,” and songwriting credits for major names such as Trace Adkins, Justin Moore and Chris Young. In 2008— mere months after the release of his debut single, “Anything Goes”—Houser was asked by David Letterman himself to appear on The Late Show. The singer’s first full-length album, Anything Goes, came out later that year, followed in 2010 by They Call Me Cadillac, which spawned hit “Whistlin’ Dixie” and fan-favorite “A Man Like Me.”

High Valley polished sound in Nashville High Valley Sunday, July 31 Main stage 5 p.m.
T he remot e home tow n a nd the u n ique upbr i n g i n g s e em a mag ic combination for the music coming from High Valley. These two young men are making what the music industr y i n Nashv ille has ca lled sing ula r, semina and a perfect mix of radio, revision, and respect. Brad and Curtis Rempel like to call it popg rass. Grow i ng up on a 1,400 -acre farm in the fa r -nor t her n r e ac he s of A lberta, with music, farming and family as the basis of their entertainment, their musical lang uage was formed at a very young age. W hen they sta r ted out, the Rempel brothers booked as many g igs as they c ou ld, play i n g c over songs to audiences near and far. During these for mative yea rs, H igh Valley became a buzzworthy act in Canada’s outly ing areas.
High Valley ’s latest release, County Line,
was recorded and produced by Billboard Pro-
ducer of the Year Seth Mosley in Franklin, TN
and features songs cowritten by Brad Rempel, Ben Stennis, Fred Wilhel m a nd awa rd-w i nning Canadian country song w r iter Der ic Rutt a n. A f t er rec ord i ng roughly 50 demo tracks for the new album, High Valley gave their fans the opportunity to vote for the 10 songs that would make the cut. T he f i na l produc t resulted in a n a lbu m that incorporates blueg ra s s, cla s sic c ou ntr y a nd Mosley ’s pop inf luences. It’s unique track s i nclude “ Ma ke You M i ne” featu r i ng Ricky Skaggs, country music anthem “County Line” and the album’s f i r st si n gle “ R e sc ue You”. According to Brad and Curtis, the album “ r epr e s ent s a mor e f u n, energetic side of High Valley that fans have always seen live but never heard on our albums.”
Canadian award winning Doc Walker returns Doc Walker Thursday, July 28 Saloon 9:30 p.m.
With over 20 Top 10 singles, Doc Walker is one of the most recognized Canadian country acts of the past two decades. The group has received multiple Canadian Country Music Awards, including Fan’s Choice, Group or Duo of the Year, CMT Video of the Year, Single of the Year, and Country Music Program or Special of the Year. In addition, Doc Walker has been nominated for several Juno Awards for Country Album of the Year, including a win in
2009 for the album Beautiful Life. Even with several mantelpieces worth of hardware to their credit, and a growing international profile that has resulted in three Australian tours, the band refuses to rest on past laurels. “After a while the tried and true becomes been there, done that,” said guitarist Dave Wasyliw. “With every new album we evolve to some degree. I think it’s exciting to go to work and not know what’s going to happen next.” The band’s most recent album, simply titled The
8th, includes the Top 10 hit “Put It Into Drive,” and the singles “Shake It Like It’s Saturday Night,” and “That’s How I Like It.” “Our music speaks to the pride we have in our roots, and the gratitude we have to the fans,” said lead singer Chris Thorsteinson, “and that is the most important thing. At the end of the day, all we want to do is write a record that we love, and that we know our fans are going to love and want to sing along to.”
Allan inspired by all-star country rock band Gary Allan Saturday, July 30 Main stage 7:30 p.m.
The Southern California-born Allan has began his musical journey playing in clubs during his high school years. After graduation, he developed a following in the area, regularly attracting an audience that featured a rare mix of rednecks in western boots and neo-Goths with piercings and spiked hair. Allan was particularly inspired in a concert by the Highwaymen – Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson – to pursue music that mined the dangerous side of life. Gary Allan’s 2013 album Set You Free embod-
ies his own evolution toward personal, creative freedom. The album is a lyrical journey from darkness to light in which a man breaks the restraints of a failed relationship and conquers the loneliness of its aftermath, is the result of Allan’s own journey as a man and as an artist. Fans who have followed Allan throughout his 17-year recording career will recognize the dark crevasses in the project – the gnarled anger of “Bones”, the honest self-examination of “It Ain’t The Whiskey”, the sinister self-abuse of “Sand In My Soul”. Mixing honky-tonk bravado and grainy isolation across his previous studio
albums, his themes revolve around a life well-lived: the joys of parenting, the heartache of personal loss, the testosterone of disagreement and the unpredictability of love. He has four #1 singles, “Man To Man”, “Tough Little Boys”, “Nothing On But The Radio” and “Watching Airplanes” – in addition to trademark hits “Best I Ever Had” and “Right Where I Need To Be”. Allan’s has amassed seven gold albums – three of them certified platinum – and maintained the admiration of critics for his unwavering uniqueness.

Tourism spots revealed to visitors By Murray Green
Camrose is a tourism jewel that many local residents tend to forget about during their busy lives. Big Valley Jamboree attracts up to 30,000 people a day for four days in the summer. “It is the largest outdoor country music festival and the city comes alive with many activities on the grounds,” said Hazel Cail, Tourism Camrose executive director. Camrose also gains visitors for attractions such as Founders Days, special occasions at the two museums (Camrose and District Centennial Museum and Camrose Railway Station and Museum Park) and events like baseball, hockey, curling and soccer tournaments. The Camrose Golf Course play and stay packages are popular for those who like to be pampered, while playing the outdoor sport. Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre, Bailey Theatre and several of the hotels provide high quality entertainment that draws crowds from more than just the surrounding area. Natural areas like Jubilee Park, Mirror Lake, Stoney Creek Valley and the large walking trail sys-
tem throughout the city are everyday attractions. “Camrose became a hub for the area because the different railway lines all came through here. Eight trains came through Camrose every day back in about 1910. They carried freight and transported goods, and the trains could switch from one line to the other. That even holds true today and is one of the reasons we attracted steel mills and the Cargill Canola Crushing plant,” said Cail. “We have a small train called the Mirror Lake Express that gives people rides around the lake during the summer. This is a fun activity for children who like to ride with parents and grandparents,” she added. Mirror Lake is a manmade water body that was used to supply water to trains, a power plant and to city residents. “Now it is a beautiful site for swans, people who like to have picnics and is a great natural area,” informed Cail. The University of Alberta Augustana campus attracts more than 1,000 students and is also a hub of activity when classes are in session. “We have a trading area consisting of about 150,000 people, so we have a lot of
people coming into the City of Camrose,” explained Cail. “We have a busy airport that has a large fly-in breakfast. It is used to accommodate BVJ performers and we often host the Canadian Snowbirds.” Camrose was the eighth place to be named a city in Alberta. The Scandinavian and European influence can be found throughout the area. “You can take a train ride on the Battle River Railway and see the backs of farms and several communities around Camrose,” added Cail. “We have a twinning agreement with Kamifurano, Japan, so we host groups from Japan often.” Main Street, with its various speciality shops, reflects a period of time from the past. “Our forefathers designed a Main Street that is wider than most, which is ideal for Jaywalkers’ Jamboree which is our midway and shopping event in early June.” The streets were made wider in order to have a team of horses turn around without having to go all the way to the end of Main Street.

Sam Hunt Sunday, July 30 Main stage 7:30 p.m.
At first glance, Sam Hunt might seem like a fairly typical young country singer — he grew up in a small Southern town; spent his school days concentrating on sports, but feeling his attachment to music grow deeper and deeper; and came to Nashville with little idea of how the music business worked, but with big dreams. In a short time and on his own terms, he has become one of Nashville’s most hotly anticipated new artists and his debut album, Montevallo, delivers on the buzz and the promise — and then some. Hunt grew up in rural Cedartown, Georgia. An athlete all his life, Hunt wound up playing football through college, ending his time there as starting quarterback at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Somewhere during his time at UAB, he picked up a guitar, and while learning the songs of such great singer-songwriters as Townes Van Zandt and John Prine, Hunt began putting rudimentary chords together and writing tunes of his own. Arriving in Music City, USA without a real understanding of the different paths an aspiring musician might pursue, Hunt was able to play a few of his original songs around town and was
soon offered a publishing deal, enabling him to write full-time. As for the album’s title, Montevallo is the name of a small Alabama town where Hunt often retreated these past few years, to visit friends and escape from the pressures of starting a new career in Nashville. He also
points out, however, that the word means mountains and valleys in Spanish — which, he said, feels about right, too. Because as his remarkable set of songs demonstrates, for Sam Hunt, contradictions are meant to be embraced, rules are meant to be broken, and creativity knows no limits.

Reading university instills confidence in students By Dan Jensen
The seventy-five Grades 2 and 3 students involved in this year’s Reading University program at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta, C.W. Sears School in Tofield and Killam School in Flagstaff County will be entering the 2016-17 school year this fall with a new found sense of confidence in their ability to read and comprehend. They will also have greater motivation to explore new material. “We see the students leave here with a change in attitude, confident in what they are able to read and understand,” said Reading University principal and lead teacher Jerrit Brandt. They see the importance of reading and literacy and that reading doesn’t just happen at school. Everybody they meet in the community tells them how important reading is to their job.” A four-week program offered every July, Reading University shows young readers through educationally sound field trips, word games and crafts how they are able to use reading to explore new worlds. It provides learning opportunities that the children involved may not otherwise be able to experience, and makes them feel they are participating in something special and exciting that is not available to everyone. “We explore different themes every week in which we focus on reading comprehension, word building, writing, the use of technology and how they can apply what they have learned in the community, explained Brandt. “In the week on animals, for instance, we did word work on the different types of animals, researched the animals using computers, and had a writing component in which they finalized their research.” The week on culture included an aboriginal smudging session and a chance to explore family roots. “The kids did some ancestral work where they learned about their cultural backgrounds,” said Brandt. Reading University has received many favourable reviews since it was started by Battle River Community Foundation and the Battle River School Division as a fifty-fifty partnership in the summer of 2009. Parents have commented that their children are reading everything in sight, feeling more confident, and applying themselves more to the tasks at hand. “It is one of the best programs she has ever been involved in,” said Shelley Hurley in a letter she wrote to the Battle River Community Foundation after her daughter, Krysta, participated in the program. “It was great for her confidence, knowledge and ability to
read, public speak, computer skills, socialize, write and explore. “All of her improvements are showing in her school work this year and in her life in general. Now she will take a book and lay on her bed or the couch and read. What a sight for a mom to see.” Students have commented that Reading University is fun and has opened their eyes to the importance of literacy. “I have been able to improve my reading and spelling and have found that reading is fun,” said nineyear-old Myia Tylosky, from Hay Lakes. “The more I do the better I get.” Nine-year-old Tommy Brausen, who attends Ecole Sifton, said Reading University is a great setting for practicing his reading, writing and spelling. “I want to be a policeman some day but you can’t be that if you can’t read. If you can’t read well you wouldn’t know where to go because you wouldn’t be able to read the signs.” Brausen enjoys showing what he has learned at Reading University with his father. “My father likes having me read chapter books to him while we are sitting outside,” he said. “I like it too.” It’s not unusual for Reading University children to move up two or even three levels over the course of the summer. In many cases the positive reinforcement they receive with their reading from teachers, aides and community volunteers changes the way they see themselves. “While the majority of the students are able to increase their reading skills by one level, we had one last year who increased his reading skills by five levels,” said Brandt. “Of the 43 students we had last year, 40 of them improved their reading or stayed the same. It is always a gain if the student stays status quo during the summer because there is always that summer drop off.” The decision to offer Reading University came from a belief shared by the Battle River Community Foundation and Battle River School Division that the future of local communities lies in creating a strong base and providing opportunities for citizens of all ages to succeed, and that education should always foster the desire to learn more, so students will develop the skills they need to adapt to an ever changing world. Through research they (BRCF and BRSD) found that children spend their early school years (Grades 1 to 3) learning basic literacy skills. After grade three they use those literacy skills to learn everything else. Statistically, children who do not read at grade level by the end of grade three get further and further behind in subsequent grades

and are at a higher risk for dropping out of high school. Literacy is more than reading, writing and basic sums. It enables people to learn and comprehend, think critically, solve problems, share information and interact effectively with others – all important skills for life and career success. As American businessman Peter Diamandis said and others have echoed, “If you can make a big impact on the global literacy problem, you can uplift a big portion of society.” Reading University’s educational program is designed by Battle River School Division, which recruits and pays staff and invites the appropriate children to participate. The Reading University program in Camrose is hosted by the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta, which provides space and
meals for students. The university campus is also the site of a graduation ceremony that includes the presentation of certificates by dean Allen Berger, resplendent in his academic robes. “Reading University would not have the profile it has without the support of Augustana,” said Battle River School Division assistant superintendent Ray Bosh. In addition to Augustana, Reading University has received generous support from members of the community, who cover the cost of field trips, classroom supplies and items such as backpacks and t-shirts for students, as well as a selection of books the students can take home to keep. “The goal is to remove all barriers to a child attending and benefitting from Reading University, whether it is transportation to and from the program or ensur-

ing meals and snacks are available,” said Reading University founder Blain Fowler. “We cover all the costs so no child’s family is asked to contribute financially.” In the eight years it has been operational, Reading University has welcomed more than four hundred students, some of whom are now considering enrolment at Augustana. “Evaluation shows that student reading levels do increase and that students are retaining their new skills after the month long Reading University program has ended,” said Fowler. “More importantly, parents, teachers and students themselves see the results.” Reading University graduation day celebrations will be held this Thursday, July 28, at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta.
Murray Green, Camrose Booster A group of ukulele players from central Alberta gathered in Camrose around Mirror Lake to provide an outdoor concert. Every third Monday of the month ukulele players meet at the Camrose Public Library. The musicians came from Big Valley, Bruce, Wetaskiwin and Camrose to play in the park.
