Barney Bentall & the Grand Cariboo Opry

Deep in the heart of British Columbia's historic Cariboo Country, two generations of some of Canada's finest roots and country musicians joined Barney Bentall to put on a one of a kind event that harkens back to a simpler time. The walls of each room that the Opry visits reverberate with laughter, storytelling, and the timeless sound of contemporary songwriters steeped in tradition for an unforgettable evening of entertainment.
The Grand Cariboo Opry is hosted by Barney Bentall as he works through humorous and highly entertaining monologues (think Prairie Home Companion) and fronts a big band consisting of members The Legendary Hearts augmented with mandolin, banjo, piano and fiddle. It is a dynamic evening that includes regular guests such as Ridley Bent, Leeroy Stagger, Dustin Bentall, Kendall Carson, Wendy Bird, Romi Mayes, and Cameron Latimer. Other guests have included Joel Plaskett, Jim Cuddy and Cathy Jones. Everyone plays and everyone sings...sometimes all at once. The theme is western/country/roots including the artist's own original songs as well some classics reinterpreted for the GCO stage.
