The venue that housed our musical experiment was the Snoring Sasquatch, a dedicated arts space and listening room. It was a thrill to show up after our dinner break and find the couches full of people who were there for no other reason than to hear good music. We could tell by the posters on the walls that quality of performance was something they’d grown accustomed to. Thanks largely to the support of the volunteers, we were able to meet their expectations.
When we show up to a new venue we never know what we’ll find, and often have to deal with managers who really don’t care about the music. That is definitely not the case at the Snoring Sasquatch. Louise in particular was very welcoming, accommodating and committed. Despite it being the evening of her wedding anniversary, she made sure we had everything we needed before she even considered leaving for dinner. From introducing us to the audience to managing sales to helping us connect with important people she made sure that we got everything we could out of the night. Meanwhile, the audience listened quietly, sang along, joined our colouring contest and gave us valuable feedback after the show. Folks like this have built a community-minded arts venue that should make Creston proud. The Snoring Sasquatch is our favourite venue we’ve played this year.
