It is shaping up to be a busy next few months at the Watson.
Cam Bennett with the Watson Art Centre says the next few weeks in particular are going to be very busy.
"We have a Dauphin art group paint workshop coming up this weekend. Greg Rekus and Kayla Luky have a show coming up on Thursday (September 12th), and then an Open Mic night on Friday. And we have the Desiree Dorion album release party on September 27th. Emma Peterson is going to be on stage with her as well so that is going to be a great event."
Other upcoming shows include local bands Year Zero and the Friday Night Rebels, as well as the Sean Taylor Band. And the highlight is the Northern Pikes performing on October 19th.
Schedule and ticket info can be found online at www.watsonartcentre.com or on their social media platforms.
Bennett adds they are also trying something new for some of their shows, called "Trust Us" tickets.
"We put out 'Trust Us' tickets for the Northern Pikes show. They were half-priced tickets and we had not announced the name of the band yet, all we said was 'you know, just trust us it is going to be great'. And we had 20 people that paid $20 and said they were going to trust us. So now we have set up a meet and greet with the Northern Pikes for them before the show, and we are reserving the front row of tables for those people as well, just to give them a little perk for saying 'you know what we trust you guys'."
The Watson is also looking for volunteers to help with the Centre and some of their upcoming events.
