Outdoor Dance Party with the Misery Mountain Boys

Saturday August 8, 2026,
7:00 to 9:00 pm

at the Harrison Memorial Cultural Centre

You might hear the tunes of the Misery Mountain Boys drifting from behind a rotating bookcase of a 1930’s speakeasy. Harkening back to a simpler time, the MMB’s create a soundscape infused with tongue in cheek wit, playfulness, and nostalgia. The band’s performance delivers as both classic and fresh, offering a generous variety of sweaty jazz numbers, velvety love songs, and swingin’ jump-blues.

“The Misery Mountain Boys have truly created a sound all their own — playful, energetic, melodic, fun- loving, and toe-tapping. With their groovin’ musical sophistication and whip-smart song- writing, this is a band that can win over any audience, of any age — from punk rockers to devotees of old-time country, jazz, and blues.” – Grant Stovel (CKUA Radio).

Come join us for our first outdoor concert/dance of the summer … help us purchase the heritage Harrison Memorial Cultural Centre to keep as the definitive quality performing arts venue for our eastshore community.
