The Bromantics to entertain at Norman Ritchie Centre
By Joan Janzen
The Bromantics are a Saskatchewan six-piece 1950’s tribute band. They performs timeless music from the 50’s and 60’s, and they’re performing in Kindersley on Friday, March 18th at the Norman Ritchie Community Centre. They bring back old tunes such as Twisting the Night Away and Splish Splash.
The original music they produce belongs to the same genre of music, that’s inspired by tunes from the 1950’s era. Those new songs will be released in the next few months. Although they’ve recorded a hand full of videos, the band primarily does live performances.
Their brass instruments combine with vintage guitar to create a nostalgic sound. Do you remember old style harmony accompanied by an occasional “doo-wop doo wop”? Then the Bromantics will bring entertainment you won’t want to miss.
This all-male group is energetic, lively, funny, with a great stage presentation. The band claims their primary goal is to have fun and connect with their audience, which is obvious as the band has fun while on stage.
Memorable tunes are combined with modern trends, which people of all ages will enjoy. The group is definitely ready to entertain after having had to cancel and postpone shows during the pandemic. They realized how much they relied on those live performances during that quiet period.
Robert Haakenson, guitar player, said in an online interview “It was super tough.” They had just finished 17 shows and were on high momentum, when it all came to a sudden stop.
Tim Lynchuk, lead singer, said “We did one show in the summer of 2021 at Moose Jaw. It was a warm up. We didn’t get a lot of rehearsals in, but we have a lot of great guys in the band … great musicianship, great comaraderie.”
“We really enjoy what we do,” Robert said. And they’re hoping you’ll enjoy listening to them when they come to town.
Their performance is part of the 2021/2022 Stars for Saskatchewan Concert Series presented by the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils and the Kindersley Arts Council.
