Singer-songwriter Will Stroet once again returns to the Arden Theatre as part of Noisy Theatre. But this time the high-energy Backyard Band joins him on Wednesday, Oct. 2.
Using pop and rock-driven melodies, Stroet also provides a strong educational component in his lively bilingual songs.
The award-winning entertainer tackles topics ranging from riding a bicycle and good sportsmanship to caring for animals and the environment. Never ham-handed, his messages are always imaginative, simple and direct.
The British Columbia singer’s successful children’s shows and albums have translated into national success as he is featured on Will’s Jams, a kids’ CBC television program.
The concert starts at 11 a.m. Tickets are $13. Call 780-459-1542 or online at www.ticketmaster.ca.
