The brother and sister from rural Ontario have never been to Vernon, but are looking forward to it.
鈥淲e love going out West,鈥� said Jenna.
They were in 91大黄鸭 last summer for Denim on the Diamond, where they loved the crowds at the show.
鈥淓xcellent fans,鈥� said Stuart. 鈥淓verybody out West seems to party harder than in Ontario.鈥�
They do have some reservations about the Ogopogo, although one of their band members actually went into the creature鈥檚 cave under Rattlesnake Island.
The band of nine are fresh on the road having recently performed in New Brunswick, Montreal and Toronto.
鈥淭he shows have been unbelievable,鈥� said Jenna.
Aside from the Vernon show, The Reklaws鈥� only other B.C. stop is in Victoria, where they play the Commodore Ballroom Feb. 11, followed by Calgary Sunday.
They arrive in Vernon a day ahead of the show and are looking forward to taking in some Carnival events and checking out the town.
鈥淲e cannot wait,鈥� said Stuart. 鈥淎fter touring for about nine years, it鈥檚 always great when we get to play somewhere we haven鈥檛 seen before.鈥�
The show promises to be a medley of notes, with some great boot stompin鈥� tunes.
鈥淧eople say they can鈥檛 find the time to go to the bathroom because they don鈥檛 want to leave the show,鈥� said Jenna. 鈥淲e are ready to burn down the barn Vernon! We can鈥檛 wait to see your town.鈥�
Stuart said the show aims to hit all the emotions, bringing it home and talking about themselves, while also serving up some country and beer medleys.
Thousands of people are expected to pack the arena for the show, on the final weekend of Carnival.
鈥淭icket sales are 2,500 at the moment and we are hoping for 3,000,鈥� said Kris Fuller, Carnival鈥檚 incoming executive director.
The show will also have prizes for best dressed country gear and crews having the most fun. Although there is a beverage garden and VIP areas the concert is open to ages eight and up.
