Fun times help to bond couples together. This is what was the motive when the local group, The Wednesdays presented ‘Rock Your Heart Valentine’s Dance to a crowd of approximately 180 citizens at The Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 39 the evening of February 15.

The Wednesdays is a local band who perform rock, pop, and country’s covers of top 40’s music. The group is composed of Beren Hollins on guitar, Kaley Martin as the lead singer, Tobin Fell as vocalist and keyboard player, James Lambert on bass, and Erin Brown on drums. The band members are all from Vegreville except Kaley who is from Tofield.

The instant The Wednesdays performed, the rollicking rhythms and authentically-edged voices prompted the audience to get on the dance floor and bust a move.

The music pieces smoothly launched from one hit to another and the audience responded with rapturous applause.

Phyllis Tarapacki, a citizen who attended this event said she thought event was the best thing that ever happened to Vegreville because it got the people together and the band, The Wednedays was really good. “I would definitely go again if they ever came back and they better not take too long because they are a good band. I would give this band a rating of 9 out of 10. The music was enjoyed by both young adults and seniors. This was a positive event for The Legion overall,” added Tarapacki.

Hollins organized the dance, and said they decided to host this event because there is not a lot of live music that happens in town, and there are not a lot of opportunities for people to go out and dance on a Friday or Saturday night. “We wanted to put on a show that local people could come out and have an old time dance for Valentine’s Day. The key moment to performing music is the magic that happens when there is a bunch of musicians playing together and they get the crowd excited, and people want to get on the dance floor and dance,” added Hollins.
