On Friday, May 27 Nelson based singer-songwriter Aspen Switzer will perform at the Kootenay Gallery in Castlegar with her musical collective For the Birds. The three musicians met through a competition to play in Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith Fair Tour, each ranking in the top six. Words to best describe this trio are soulful, gutsy, witty and magical. This highly entertaining concert combining folk, traditional and roots music will be held on May 27 at 7 p.m. Advance tickets are available at the gallery - $12 for gallery members, $15 for general admission and $20 at the door.
