Harlequin stops by to jam with Chevelles after Whoop Up Days show

The fun thing about Whoop up Days is anything can happen after the main show is done. So Average Joes was hopping with another hot show from local classic rockers the Chevelles, Friday, Aug. 24, playing a fundraiser for Extreme Cheer Sensation. They had a good sized crowd dancing up a storm.Harlequin jamming with the Chevelles at Average Joes, Aug. 24. photo by Richard Amery
 They ran the gamut of classic rock from ’80s ballads including Poison’s “Every Rose Has it’s Thorn, ” The Beatles’ “ Come Together,” a stripped down version of Earth, Wind & Fire’s  some AC DC and more modern pop material  like “Tonight’s Going to be A Good night” from the Black Eyed Peas. And it was a good night with the hep of some very special guests.


 Country singer Julian Austin, who opened the show wearing his classic rock hat with his band Trixx and celebrating his birthday in Lethbridge, stepped on stage  to sing Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama”  with the help of Rob Habetler on keyboards. Austin also played the next night with his country band.
A few members  of Canadian classic rockers Harlequin were hanging out after their Whoop up Days and were coaxed on stage to play Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer” and their big hit “Thinking of You” with the help of Kitty Chevelle on bass.
 The rest of the Chevelles returned for ELO’s “Don’t Bring Me Down.”
