Joy of Christmas

Last weekend, Ukrainians everywhere finally caught up on the feasting and frolicking with the arrival of their Christmas occasion.

And in a province chock full of Ukrainian Canadians, it’s no wonder the Kubasonics’ Ukrainian Christmas concert at Horizon Stage in Spruce Grove was sold out long in advance.

Putting a fun-loving spin on traditional Ukrainian music, the Kubasonics are overflowing with energy.

Band leader Brian Cherwick is absolutely hilarious and kept all the babas in the audience chuckling, between the group’s toe-tapping numbers.

The concert attracted many rural guests.

And when a surprised group of Ukrainian carollers appeared and addressed the crowd, I was surprised to find at least half the venue answered back in their native language.

It was a special night and the fantastic venue made it all the better.

If you’ve ever see a particular artist or group you enjoy scheduled at Spruce Grove’s Horizon Stage, making the trip out there is well worth the effort.
