“I’m releasing a new single that day. I’ll be putting out some more information on my social media over the next few days. I’m excited for people to hear it when it comes out,” Wade said.

Fans coming out to see Wade play today can expect all kinds of music.

“Mostly original songs that I have wrote, I will play my acoustic guitar, some harmonica, foot drum and tambourine, kind of a one man band,” Wade said. “My son Chord will be joining me with some bass clarinet.”

Overall, the curb side concerts are meant for people to have fun at, and for Chord, this will be his first time doing that.

“I’ve played in concerts, but never a curb side concert,” Chord said. “I really like playing the music.”

One person in attendance, Krista Yonz is happy to see these events happening again.

“It’s super cool,” Yonz said. “I think everyone is really excited to get back at it. It’s nice seeing more people doing outside stuff too.”

Next up at the EA Rawlinson Centre for the Arts is a drive-thru concert featuring Allyson Reigh.
