Four the past four saturdays, The Red Room has played host to some of the Rossland's local music talent in the Live Music Series, presented by Rossland Radio.

I am have been very proud to be involved in this project, which has seen some unforgettable perfromances from Rossland's best musicians including Bradley Mackay, and last week Amy Cunningham and Li Li Maurer.

The technical expertise of Tim Lapointe of the Red Room has enabled us to get some awesome recordings of these artists which will be featured in three one hour programs which will be aired on Rossland Radio, beggining next week. Tim's generous offer of adding 10% of the gross taking from each saturday night to the performers has been pivotal in nabbing the best talent in the area.

We have been able to get some excellent pomotional coverage through the Trail Rossland News (Trevor Kehoe) and a weekly piece (including a video perfromance) by Rossland Radio programmer Liz Arnasan for the Rossland Telegraph (available online).

This weeks show (Sat 6th March, 8pm) sees born and bred local Tom Bouchier at the Red Room. Liz's article can be accessed from the following link;

Thanks to everyone for their support and guidance through this very exciting series, and if you haven't come down to the Red Room to take in some of the music, its not too late!!

The final show will be played by Dandelion and the Ditchweeds on the 13th of March.

Rossland's favourite gameshow is back!!
After many enquiries and a little pressure from Rosslanders wanting another fun night of trivia, games and silliness, Rossland Radio is pleased to announce the return of "The Price Is Jeopardy Or No Deal Of Fortune".
This fun, prize filled event for teams of 10 people, with a licenced bar, will take place on March 19th 2010 and will raise funds for both Rossland Radio Co-Op and the Rossland Skate Park. Don't worry if you don't have enough people for a team, you can join one on the night.
Just 100 tickets are available, they're $10 per person and will be available from Cafe Books, Washington Street in Rossland. Or it's $15 at the door if there are any tickets left.
Doors open at 7pm, fun starts 7.30.
This is an over 19's event - sorry, no minors.
Heaps of prizes and heaps of fun!

Who will unseat the Red Resort rental shop team from their place as reigning champions? How far will you go to win points for your team and prizes for yourself?

Due to the hard work of the board of (Michelle and Jackie in particular) Rossland Radio has recieved a grant from the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA) on behalf of the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT).

This funding gives us the support to produce a very exciting live music series. Each saturday, for the next six weeks a local musician/band will be performing at the Red Room on Columbia. Each artist will be interviewed and the show will be recorded to produce a half an hour feature show for each musician or band.

This is a very exciting project that benefits local musicians, giving them a chance to record their material as well as giving much needed promotion to Rossland Radio.

The first band featured in the Live Music Series will be Rossland`s own `The White Crows of the New Apostolic Church` this coming Saturday (6th of Feb) from 8pm at the Red Room. Come out and support your local Radio Station aswell as one of Rossland`s most endearing bands. Entry is free and there will be drinks specials.

The White Crows of The New Apostolic Church have been together for a couple of years now and are constantly tightening up their blend of mountain folk and roots rock. Playing all original tunes flavored with skiing and climbing references, this five piece definitely represents the Kootenays well. They've recently played the Blizzard Music Festival, appeared on another local media program 'Made In The Kootenays' http://www.kbsradio.ca/shows/861336 and are starting work on a five song EP that should be coming out by the end of the winter.

Cheers
