Country, soul and rock headliners announced for brewery’s summer concert series
Red Truck Beer Company has announced the headliners of their summer concert series. The local brewer kicked off the series last summer, following the opening of the Red Truck brewery (295 E. 1st Ave.). The brewery, which includes diner-style food, an outdoor seating area and a tasting room, is fronted by a private parking lot which was the setting for the series. This year organizers promise two stages instead of one in the lot, along with food, beer and some top-draw headliners.
The 2016 series launches June 11. This year’s three shows will be headlined by soul legend Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears (June 11th), Ottawa alt-rock band Hollerado (July 9th), and rising country star Jon Pardi (August 6th).
The brewery is located in the heart of East Vancouver’s Brewery Creek neighbourhood. Each event runs from 4 – 10 p.m.
Confirmed supporting acts for June 11 include Dawn Pemberton and The Ballantynes, Chin + Lifetimes, The Red Gold & Green Machine, and Star Captains.
Bend Sinister and Red Eye will be part of the guitar-rock showcase on July 9, and The Washboard Union have been signed for the country show on August 6.
According to a media release, “more acts and surprise guests will be added to each event’s lineup.” Visit redtruckbeer.com for more info as it becomes available.
In addition to single event tickets for $35 per show, an early bird Tailgate Pass will be available for $85. Tickets will be available through ticketzone.com or at the Red Truck Brewery.
