The Secret Beach Garden Stage is primed for another amazing summer series of outstanding talent. We are just waiting on a “Thumbs Up” from Dr. Bonnie Henry to allow us once again to have 50 folks attend each of our social distanced – very safe – acoustic concerts in our garden. Last summer was a great success and we have some REALLY amazing artists to share this year….I mean I can’t even believe it myself. Not ready to announce the line-up until we know for sure that it can happen but I suspect by July and August we will get the OK. Stay connected through my mailing list and be sure to join us via live stream if you are not in our area.

Secret Beach Garden Stage is located at our beautiful B&B in Gibsons. BC. You can check it out HERE

I had a great time designing this new logo….Let your Soul Shine and support the Arts!!!!

HERE is the second song written on my little ukulele. I’m posting to YouTube more often these days in hopes to stir up support on a platform that I have not been very active on.

Rumour has it that in order to live stream from YT…you need 1000 subscribers so…hit subscribe and I promise to get better at this

Well, never say never. I couldn’t imagine that I would accompany myself on stage with this new little ukulele friend but that is exactly what happened this summer on our garden stage at Secret Beach B&B. I purchased a tenor uke back in February with the hope that it may inspire some new songs…..and that is exactly what happened. As some of you may know, I am not a prolific writer but I’m very proud of the songs that I have written. I’ve been on stage most of my life alongside tremendously talented musicians but have yet to master an instrument myself. Seems I don’t have the patience, self discipline or neurological make-up for this and it sure doesn’t get any easier as I age. This sweet instrument has brought much joy in these Covid days. I opened each summer concert on our garden stage with this new song called Blessed to Witness. A response to Covid with a hopeful message for our human evolution. Please give a listen and if you are so inclined, please like, share and add a comment on YouTube. I have made a personal commitment to populate more video online and comments sure help inspire me to do that……thnx bunches.

Lets hope that humanity is ramping up for some much needed healing. As we recognize beauty all around us and focus on gratitude for what we have instead of what we want….perhaps LOVE will lead the way to better days for us and future generations. I am an eternal optimist with a number of new songs that are to be recorded this winter with a similar theme. Keep well and Keep safe out there and thanx for listening HERE

We were so thrilled to receive some support from local Coast Life Magazine about our Sweet Sundays concert series this summer. A wonderful photo of me sitting in with the amazing Burying Ground was captured by my friend Kristen Dennis and used on  a sweet 2 page story. The concert series was a great success and sure helped us all enjoy live music together in a safe and beautiful setting. We look forward to next summer and hopefully we can host a much larger audience to enjoy more outstanding talent. Thnx to all who purchased tickets and to the super talented folks who graced our stage each Sunday. It was a real honour to open and close the series with my Tree-O and have the Hot Club of Mars finish the series off with a real bang. I sure loved kicking off each concert with a mini set that included special guests along with me who learned my originals for the shows. What a treat to share the stage with Michael Friedman, Simon Kendall, Wynston Minkler, Budge Schachte, Karen Graves, John Ellis and Oliver Swain. I sure enjoyed every moment and we even went live to Facebook to help document the shows. It was a little quick and dirty on the stream but we captured it and you can always check it out under Deanna Knight Music on FB.
