Past Special Crisp Events

Here are some of our past special events organized by The Crisp.

A Crisp Festival Special Summer Concert

From the Southern States, The Lee Boys are coming to the Hall on Tuesday, July 16th!
This will be one unique night!
Bring a chair and blanket.
The boys are also bringing living legend Calvin Cooke with them on sacred steel.
With special guest Penderite, southern rocker David Lumley

The Lee Boys grew up in the church where their father was a pastor and a steel player himself. “Sacred steel” is a type of music described as an inspired, unique form of Gospel music with a hard-driving, blues-based beat. The musical genre is rooted in Gospel, but infused with rhythm and blues, jazz, rock, funk, hip-hop, country and ideas from other nations.

When The Lee Boys bring their joyous spiritual sound to the stage, audiences instantly recognize that this is not “sitting and listening” music: dancing, shouting out, and having fun are considered essential parts of their tradition. Founder and bandleader Alvin Lee explains “The inspiration and feeling that comes along with our music is the reason that people feel good.”

May 4th – The Unfaithful Servants

The Crisp Festival was delighted to present this concert on May 4th, 7pm at Pender Community Hall to celebrate our volunteers and local sponsors!  It was a very fun night!

TURNING THE TIDE

CHORUS

We’re turning the tide, coming together, sticking through all the stormy weather

The plan is in motion, we move like the ocean, let the waves take us somewhere better

Cause’ I’m done running, I’m done hiding, I’m here with something to say

We’re turning the tide to a new day

So grab us a kayak, paddle around, from the north down to Puget Sound

With the wind as our sail, we’ll dance with the whales,

until we’re Pender Island bound

Then here comes the singer, singing his song, till’ the whole coast is singing along

Like turning a tide

CHORUS

I’m in love with the islands, in love with the shores,

I don’t think I could love em’ anymore

In love with the people, in love the towns, in love with the sights, I’m in love with the sounds

In love with the feeling, the feeling I get, it’s a feeling I could never forget

Like turning a tide

CHORUS

It’s gonna get higher
