The Rocky Mountains and the vast wheat fields of the Prairie are the dual influences in singer-songwriter Mike Edel’s life, having grown up in rural Alberta.
He now makes Victoria his home, and travels north of the Malahat to perform at Nanaimo Marine Festival tonight (July 19), 7:30 p.m., at Maffeo Sutton Park. Three days of free entertainment is available in the park, leading up to the bathtub race on Sunday.
