ARCOLA - This past weekend, Saskatchewan singer and songwriter JJ Voss performed in Arcola to the delight of the fans in attendance.
The night was organized by the Arcola Optimist Club, who had southeast musicians Last Birds open the show.
With close to two decades of dedication to his music career and craft, Voss has taken his passion for songwriting and performing, along with his many experiences in life, to build an authentic and professional solo career rooted from the fabric of the working class.
Voss was born and raised on a Saskatchewan farm. He has played in concerts all over Canada and has won numerous awards along the way. He has been recently nominated for four Saskatchewan Country Music Association Awards.
Arcola Optimist president Blake Brownridge was pleased with the performance.
“There were numerous events happening simultaneously in southeastern Saskatchewan this past weekend, but we were completely satisfied with the turnout. JJ Voss is a very talented singer and songwriter, and we were happy to have him visit our theatre.”
JJ Voss concurred with Brownridge’s assessment of the night.
“Played the first show of 2022 at the beautiful Mac Murray Theatre in Arcola with my friends, Last Birds, to a very appreciative audience. I’d like to thank Glen, Blake and the rest of the Optimist Club of Arcola for keeping this old gem of a theatre in brand new condition.”
Concluded Brownridge, “It was a good night all around. Additional concerts are being planned for the coming months.”
