Clover Point Drifters playing at the Saanich Market this Sat, Sept13 from 10 am to 1 pm. Come on out to buy some local stuff and hear a local tune or two.

Just found this old review:
“The Nitty Grittys came close to being upstaged by a fine Victoria bluegrass
outfit, the Clover Point Drifters. These fellows -- some sporting ball-caps, some
with ZZ Top-style beards -- are able to nail the high, lonesome harmonies that
makes this style of music so compelling. And the players are good, especially
banjo-man Mike Kraft and slide-guitarist Larry Stevens.
“In an unself-conscious way, the quintet captures the authenticity and honesty of
old-time bluegrass music. Their sound is also flavoured with echoes of Hank
Williams and Willie Nelson (the latter mainly conjured up by Stevens's singing).
The Clover Point Drifters also play original tunes in a contemporary folk style.
All of this, combined with a jocular stage manner, made for a great opening set.”

Another famous person, "Handsome Dan" , playing the Clover Point Drifters bass.
