HESS HELPS LEC MUSIC DEBUT SHINE!

Kenny Hess, bottom left, performed with daughter Kate at last month's Mission Music Fest. Friday he played in front of 3,000-plus fans during the first-ever music event at the new Langley Events Centre. High Valley, top photo, made their first visit to the area one to remember.



Langley Events Centre, one of the impressive, spanking new arenas in the Lower Mainland, hosted its first concert Friday night, attracting more than 3,000 people to see Canadian country music star Paul Brandt of Calgary, Mission's Kenny Hess and the three-brother Alberta group High Valley, which has the word "future superstardom" branded all over their young act.
While Brandt did the predictable and had girls screaming and singing his many hits from the moment he walked on stage, and Hess had the early arrivals laughing and clapping along to his entertaining set, High Valley caught everyone off guard with a performance that rated 11 on the scale of 1 to 10!
If you watch the Canadian Country Music Awards on Sunday night (live on CBC-TV, to be replayed on CMT), Brandt will share the stage with High Valley and they will sing When You Call My Name, a Brandt hit. They did this number together Friday during Brandt's set and it was the "moment" of the night.
Three Mennonite kids – Brad, Bryan and Curtis Rempel – with great family values and greater music talents, proved once again that giving it all on stage will reap rewards and new fans. They grew up in the small Alberta town of La Crete, have already opened for Keith Urban, Reba McEntire and Brad Paisley, and after Canada sees them on CBC, they should be making bronze statues of the class-act brothers in downtown La Crete.
Couple other songs – On The Combine and My Way Back Home – should soar up the iTunes charts after When You Call My Name runs its monster-hit course.
Check out High Valley's new website at www.highvalley.ca – guarantee you'll love their music! And you'll even be impressed after reading their bios!
High Valley is playing in Chilliwack this Sunday night where it says here they'll be the talk of the town Monday morning!
