Eagles cover band to perform in Stonewall
Glove Box Gold invites you to take a step back in time with their Take it Easy tour.
The cover band Glove Box Gold, featuring a pool of local musicians, will be hitting the stage in Stonewall on Sept. 21 for a Raise the Roof fundraising concert.
Glove Box Gold including musicians, Scott Hunter (vocals and guitar), Justin Van Alphen (vocals), Danelle Guenther (vocals), Steve Hintz (guitar and vocals) and Terry Ferguson (bass guitar) will perform their selection of some of the Eagle’s greatest hits along with other popular songs from the era.
Glove Box Gold will start the show at 7:30 p.m. in the Stonewall Parochial Hall, 435-1st Ave. N.
“We are just having fun while we raise funds for the replacement of the roofing on the church,” said Stonewall Parochial Social Events and Fundraising Coordinator Kathy Turner.
The Stonewall Parochial needs to replace its shingles next spring. The church recently received Municipal Heritage Status, and members of the Stonewall Parochial are wanting to re-roof the building in a historical fashion.
“We are all in for a wonderful evening of entertainment. We are very fortunate that they (Glove Box Gold) are able to provide this fundraiser for us,” said Turner.
Band manager Lana Hintz shares how the band came to be.
Hintz was inspired to start up Glove Box Gold when she and her husband saw a cover band in the U.S..
“I was on vacation with my husband, visiting my brother and he introduced us to Black Jacket Symphony.”
“We said we should try to do something like that and on our way home we were talking about making it reality,” explained Hintz.
A little while later, Glove Box Gold was born to recreate your favourite old-time hits.
The group chooses an artist or band to cover and then they record a two-set album. The first set features an exact set of songs from a specific album and the other focuses on the artists greatest hits.
“We focus on music that isn’t being performed anymore by the original artists,” explained Lana Hintz.
Since it is their goal to replicate the album as closely as possible, only a few musicians from the 15 artists with Glove Box Gold will be selected to perform at the concert.
The name Glove Box Gold comes from Hintz’s memories of the older days.
“Imagine you reach into the glove box of your car and you pull out a cassette or even an 8-track and think you have found gold,” described Hintz.
Once Glove Box Gold has selected its cover musicians, they tour Manitoba, performing the songs live again.
While Glove Box Gold’s Sept. 21 concert is already sold out of tickets, Turner suggests that you call the church to put your name on a waitlist in case they are able to squeeze in more seats.
You can call or text Kathy Turner at (204) 467-5307 or Twylla Gordon at (2040 461-4480 to have your name be put on a waitlist to see if any more tickets become available.
