Red Dirt Skinners Live at the Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre
June 6 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Described by Roots Music Canada as “The Pink Floyd of Folk Music” the Red Dirt Skinners are the multi-award winning multi-instrumentalist husband and wife team of Rob and Sarah Skinner. Widely regarded as one of the most innovative acts to come out of the UK in recent years.
The duo cross more genres than would make sense to mention and have won National and International Awards in Rock Folk Blues Country Roots Alt-Rock and Songwriting. It would be fair to say that if you like songs influenced by Pink Floyd Simon and Garfunkel Supertramp Queen David Bowie coupled with some epic storytelling humour and heartfelt emotions you’ll love a Red Dirt Skinners concert.
With male and female harmonies blending together as one voice and Sarah’s trademark soprano saxophone solos you will be swept along by the refreshingly different sound of the Red Dirt Skinners.
A Red Dirt Skinners concert combines captivating storytelling with knowing lyricism and outstanding musicianship. The Skinners have a natural rapport with their audiences and their live shows are a wonderful experience; a musical journey to remember. Be prepared for laugh-out-loud lyrics followed by songs sure to pull at your heartstrings. Rob and Sarah Skinner will steal your hearts. Don’t miss their show!
