JJ Voss is rolling up his sleeves.
The veteran singer-songwriter eagerly anticipating his second dose of COVID-19 vaccine can’t wait to get back to work in front of live audiences after having to settle for a long-distance relationship with his fans over the past 15 months.
“I’m pretty much done with the virtual concerts at this point; I think my audience is fatigued of that,” Voss said this week from his Regina home. “I’m cautiously optimistic and I’m booking kind of full steam ahead right now for summer and fall. You set yourself up for a potential letdown (if the situation worsens). But we do have to be booked two to three months in advance so you pretty much have to go for it and hope for the best.”

The E.A. Rawlinson Centre has announced that it will hold a summer series this year, consisting of drive-in concerts held in its parking lot every second Wednesday.
Space is limited to 48 vehicles per show to allow an empty spot between vehicles for social distancing.
The series will kick off with the Bryce Elliot Band on June 9.
“With his Luke Bryan-influenced debut at the Country North Show some 12-plus years Bryce has since proven his flexibility,” the Rawlinson Centre writes.
His show features pop hits from the 70s and 80s and 00s indie rock staples.
