When you think of beets and turnips, what comes to mind? Farms, healthy living, or perhaps your next meal?

It’s difficult to associate any of these with a band, isn’t it? But today, I’m excited to introduce you to a band that’s all about country and blues music. Despite having an average age of 55+, this band exudes a unique and vibrant energy that sets them apart.

Are you familiar with country music? Let me introduce you to it. Country music is probably typified by early Taylor Swift, with her breezy songwriting style and guitar as her main instrument. What really sets this band apart is their egalitarian approach to music. In most bands, there is a designated lead singer who takes center stage while the others sing backup. But in this band, each member takes turns being the lead singer, sharing the spotlight and showcasing their individual talents. Whether playing multiple instruments, writing songs, or arranging melodies, each member brings a unique skill set to the table. This versatility not only enhances their musicality, but also reflects their deep friendship and emotional connection.

In essence, the band is not just a musical group, but a close-knit “family” that inspires and motivates each other. Their collaborative spirit and mutual respect creates an electric energy that resonates with audiences of all ages. So when you see them perform, dance with them and become part of their family!

It’s time to try and experience the music that this unique band brings to the table. On April 19, 2024, Turnip the Beet band will host the South Cowichan Music Jam and Dance. This is an “electronic” music jam featuring classic rock/country and blues. Not only for those who like blues or country music, but all music lovers are welcome. This event is organized by the band “Turnip the Beet” and sponsored by the “Cowichan South Arts Guild”, “Malahat Legion” and “South Cowichan Music Jam “. The free concert will give you double the musical excitement and pleasure. It’s also a great opportunity for musicians to network and play, while providing a venue for the general audience to hear and enjoy great “improvised” music. How can you not look forward to a two-for-one musical exchange extravaganza?

About Pranatricks, This is a shining singer-songwriter.

As an artist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and independent singer, his debut album, Cherished, released in January 2023.

You can hear from https://pranatricks.bandcamp.com/album/cherished listen and buy albums.

The song “Runnning” gives the listener a deep sense of loneliness when it is first played, like strolling down a silent street on a deserted night. Initially, soft piano and guitars intertwine, outlining a quiet atmosphere where only oneself and one’s inner voice seem to coexist. The lyrics are delicate and profound, describing the inner confusion and struggle, as if chasing after something unnamable, yet not knowing where to return.

However, as the melody progresses, the song is gradually infused with more vigor and power. The addition of strings and drums bring a new dynamic to the song, as if it’s breaking free from its inner shackles and bonds as it speeds along. The ebb and flow of the music and the changes in tempo create a haunting atmosphere that you can’t help but get lost in, feeling the surge and passion within.

The second track on the album, “Between the World,” leads the listener with a different kind of guidance. The children’s noises at the beginning seem to be a call through time and space, bringing the listener into the story instantly. This childish sound design injects a lively color into the whole song, making people feel as if they were in the paradise of their childhood, feeling the carefree happiness and innocence.

The album “Cherished” contains 12 songs, each of which is like a unique musical painting, showing the creator’s unique understanding and expression of life, emotions and life. Each song has its own unique flavor and emotion, allowing people to immerse themselves in it and feel the pleasure and emotion brought by the music.

This album is most notable for the accolades he has received. Cherished has garnered several awards, including 11 consecutive weeks on the charts on Earshot and a spot in the Top 50 nationally, including the week of May 2 at #1 on CJSF 90.1fm. On Prantricks’ album’s personal website he writes: “Cherish” is a collection of songs, some of which emerged from the Ether as far back as a decade ago, and others that emerged immediately in response to the countless hours of reflection we’ve spent contemplating the inevitably shifting landscape that surrounds us.

This is a story of finding authenticity. Its simplicity is meant to remind us to sit with reality, to pause, and to remember our truth, whatever it is, wherever it is. The last few lines are nothing short of impressive, as if one could instantly grasp what Panatricks is saying through the song.
