Johnny Pacey is back and he's set to play for a great cause.
The Dauphinite donated more than $500 to the Dauphin & District Food Bank last summer after his 'Summer Yard Series' concluded and if you've been missing some live music from Pacey, you're in luck.
Johnny will begin a summer full of performances Friday night at 7:00 at 7 Macleod Avenue West in Dauphin. The free show will be 30 minutes in length and while it is free to watch, donations are welcomed. 50% of all donations received will be given to the Food Bank.
When deciding where he wanted to donate the money raised from his shows, Pacey said choosing the Food Bank in Dauphin was a no-brainer.
"I grew up on the Food Bank. For me, it's near and dear to my heart," said Pacey. "Everyone needs food, every single person. It's plain and simple, food needs to be on the table for everyone."
Johnny mostly plays jazz music alongside blues music. If you're into music by artists such as Frank Sinatra, you're in for a treat. Pacey is hoping to do several shows throughout the summer and he's looking forward to seeing you on Friday to fire things up. At the end of the day, Pacey loves playing for some passionate music fans.
"It brings a lot of joy to my heart because I'm able to make people smile," said Pacey. "I've been saying for a while that I'm in the business of making people smile. If I can make people smile and have some laughs, that means the world to me."
That's Johnny Pacey performing live at 7 Macleod Avenue West in Dauphin Friday night.
