Turnip the Beet
Description/Bio:
This group of fine musicians are all about great music and having fun. From their wacky vegetable stage names to their infectious laughter, and groovin’ tunes, you won’t be able to sit still. What sets this band apart is each member sings harmony as well as taking turns fronting as lead singer. Their style is a mix of Classic Rock, Country and Blues and their motto is “Playing songs for Human Beans” Come prepared to dance!
The band consists of:
Keith Washington (aka Borscht Kaleoff) Bassist,
Mike Trepanier (aka Bearnaise Shallot) Electric Guitars
Bryon Thompson (aka Stemias Sparagus) Lap Steel, Guitars
Freda Eckstein (aka Lmno Pea) Ukulele
Laverne Cherry (aka Baba Legume) Drums
Turnip the Beet has been the “house band” since 2017 for the ever-popular South Cowichan Music Jam held at the Malahat Legion in Shawnigan Lake. See our Facebook pages for more information.
