Cousin Harley is the rocking hillbilly music persona of Paul Pigat, an extraordinary, profession guitarist vocalist and songwriter. Hailing from Vancouver, Cousin Harley has a hard-earned reputation for delivering everything from classic honky tonk and cow punk rippers, to a helping of western swing and classic jump blues. He plays in the old tradition – slugging it out hot and heavy in roadhouses across the land.

“Pigat is a ballsy; confident vocalist, at home equally with forceful rockabilly, laid back western swing tunes and slow ballads. His lead guitar is stunning and the generous breaks bristle with invention and at times are lightning fast.” Harry Dodds comments Pigat on “Now Dig This” Magazine in UK

Now they have their latest album “Let’s Go”, which is one of their speeediest, with blazing hot playing galore. A live to tape concert of Cousin Harley performing gems from their new album direct from the BlueShore at Capilano University stage. Harkening back to the trio’s first album “Jukin”,  while cherry-picking the best of all seven albums that have preceded it, Let’s Go!, is the first album for which leader Paul Pigat penned every great tune.

A Christmas Carol-The Radio Play an original work by writer Erik Gow. According to google, Erik Gow is a Vancouver actor, playwright, composer, and educator who lives and practices on the traditional, ancestral, territories of the Squamish, Selilwitulh, and Musqueam nations. A Christmas Carol recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. When you walk into theatre t you’ll be drawn into this well loved story with dramatized, acoustic performances. The set is designed as a live 1940s radio broadcast and the actors fully costumed with unique props.And the play is directed by Chris Adams. This is the first time anything like this will be seen on the Metro Stage and this is the only Christmas Radio play in Vancouver this December. I’m excited and scared to direct such a show –  Panto’s I’ve directed and loved for many years – Radio Plays live on stage are a new beast and a new creation – But don’t worry, scary is good and often creates wonderfully creative art.” Director Chris Adam.
