An Acoustic Evening with Doc Walker Concert

Mary Winspear Centre Presents
An Acoustic Evening with Doc Walker
Thursday, September 12 – 7:30 PM

Back at the start of the 1990s, a country band from the town of Westbourne, Manitoba appeared on the scene. It was fronted by singer/guitarist Chris Thorsteinson and began building a reputation the traditional “weddings, parties, anything” way. In 1994, Thorsteinson recruited his childhood friend, singer/guitarist Dave Wasyliw, and the pair quickly established a formidable songwriting partnership that now after nearly three decades has resulted in a Juno Award, 14 Canadian Country Music Association Awards, 21 Top 10 Canadian country radio singles, eight #1 CMT videos and millions of streams.

The band has also performed in every province and territory in Canada, and shared stages with everyone from Bon Jovi to Eric Church. They have had several Top 10 songs on the charts. Hits include “Beautiful Life”, “From Here”, and “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me”. Other great songs are “That Train”, “North Dakota Boy”, “Rocket Girl”, “Driving With the Breaks On”, “Coming Home”, and “Whoever Made Those Rules”.
