Memory Lane is a tribute to the 40's, 50' and 60's and the show is coming to Weyburn as part of the Weyburn Concert Series on Sunday, October 5 at 2 p.m. at the Cugnet Centre.

Memory Lane has audiences "dancin' in the aisles and singin' along" to all the classics they know and love from artists like Buddy Holly, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby and many more.

It is comprised of an eight-piece band including some of the province's finest musicians and is fronted by the Irish-born and now Saskatchewan-based Stephen Maguire.

Maguire has been compared to Johnny Reid time after time with his edgy vocals, thought-provoking songwriting and commanding stage presence.

He is a two-time Saskatchewan Country Music Association award winner and is the 2014 Country Music Person of the Year and SCMA Humanitarian Award winner.

Last year, Maguire launched the Imagine No Bullying provincial schools tour with four-time CCMA nominee Codie Prevost, the Canadian Red Cross and Studio XII Music & Dance Co., performing at Weyburn Junior High as part of the tour.

"I love Weyburn and we are excited to come back. We have 11 shows on the road and it's going to be a good time," said Maguire.

Involved in music from a young age, Maguire grew up listening to his parents' record collection. His father Patrick Maguire, who played in show bands and rock & roll bands in the 60s, including with Van Morrison, would play cassettes of The Mamas & the Papas, The Beach Boys and Irish traditional music.
