HESS HELPS LEC MUSIC DEBUT SHINE!
Kenny Hess, bottom left, performed with daughter Kate at last month's Mission Music Fest. Friday he played in front of 3,000-plus fans during the first-ever music event at the new Langley Events Centre. High Valley, top photo, made their first visit to the area one to remember.
Langley Events Centre, one of the impressive, spanking new arenas in the Lower Mainland, hosted its first concert Friday night, attracting more than 3,000 people to see Canadian country music star Paul Brandt of Calgary, Mission's Kenny Hess and the three-brother Alberta group High Valley, which has the word "future superstardom" branded all over their young act.
While Brandt did the predictable and had girls screaming and singing his many hits from the moment he walked on stage, and Hess had the early arrivals laughing and clapping along to his entertaining set, High Valley caught everyone off guard with a performance that rated 11 on the scale of 1 to 10!
If you watch the Canadian Country Music Awards on Sunday night (live on CBC-TV, to be replayed on CMT), Brandt will share the stage with High Valley and they will sing When You Call My Name, a Brandt hit. They did this number together Friday during Brandt's set and it was the "moment" of the night.
Three Mennonite kids – Brad, Bryan and Curtis Rempel – with great family values and greater music talents, proved once again that giving it all on stage will reap rewards and new fans. They grew up in the small Alberta town of La Crete, have already opened for Keith Urban, Reba McEntire and Brad Paisley, and after Canada sees them on CBC, they should be making bronze statues of the class-act brothers in downtown La Crete.
Couple other songs – On The Combine and My Way Back Home – should soar up the iTunes charts after When You Call My Name runs its monster-hit course.
Check out High Valley's new website at www.highvalley.ca – guarantee you'll love their music! And you'll even be impressed after reading their bios!
High Valley is playing in Chilliwack this Sunday night where it says here they'll be the talk of the town Monday morning!

HOT DISHES FILLED WITH PRIDE!
Tracy Watson remembers a less stressful time in her life, albeit she hides it well behind a smile that would melt a tax collector’s heart.
She was hosting Canada Day golf tournaments as a beer rep for Molson when the country was infatuated with her company’s "my name is Joe and I am Canadian” patriotic pitch
The economy was on Viagra, people were drinking, eating out and buying big toys. Heck, even Santa Claus was having trouble keeping up with The Joneses.
Watson, now 40, had a regular paycheque boasting impressive numbers. Tums and Rolaids were for everyone else. If only the happily-ever-after story ended right there.
Tearing a page out of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream speech,” Watson did an about face – it’s pronounced about not a-boot – and decided to try working for herself.
“So Canadian, eh? Worry more and work harder than ever for less money,” she laughed Friday while charming customers at her Hot Tommy’s eatery on Townline Road in Abbotsford.
It will be a year this August since she and business partner Michelle Esau dipped into the restaurant business, having purchased the quaint place from Tommy Kelly.
There are no plans “yet” to change the name to Hot Tracy’s or M-m-m Michelle’s – customer suggestions – but everything else is under review as the owners grapple with a sluggish economy and more competition.
But optimism is my dear Watson’s strength – and the No. 1 challenge, she figures, is getting people to her industrial park location for the first time. Getting them back has been less an issue, thanks to excellent food, atmosphere, homemade sauces, salsas and reasonable prices.
To that end, Watson has been visiting businesses in the ’hood, dropping off menus, letting them know about her takeout service and offering encouragement.
“There are a lot of small and new business owners right around us doing what we’re doing – growing slowly, hoping for better days. And it’s so encouraging when you see companies really take off.”
Her small eatery is open Monday to Friday, serves alcohol and “attitude” and tinkers with its menu and décor, inside and out on the patio.
There are minor sports pictures, murals, newspaper clippings, a Tracey Street road sign, some racing posters and a new Bring on the Heat towel stapled to the wall near the bar – behind all the Vancouver Canucks paraphernalia.
Watson promises to change the look over time, but filling the restaurant is her immediate priority.
“I have to admit, it drives me crazy when we’re not busy. I know more people are eating at home these days to save money, but it still makes you worry.
“. . . I have staff to pay, food to prepare, bills to pay. Sometimes it just sucks being an adult!”
Her mission is to spread the good word about the safe, Cheers-like atmosphere at Tommy’s.
Watson will be out promoting Hot Tommy’s next month with a golf tournament and she plans to have a crab bake at this year’s air show.
She also has plans for Friday afternoon barbecues, private parties and some form of catering to go with the new takeout service.
“The mind is working 24/7. I’m trying to stay really positive, seeing people fill the seats.”
Perhaps her “gamble” and the grand opening of Chances Abbotsford down the street is telling her something.
Either it’s sometimes you have to be lucky to be good, or in small business – as one Canadian poker star stated recently – “I hope to break even this week. I need the money!”
