For Brooke Paige and the Rumble Seat, performing at this year’s Homegrown event is more than just another gig — it’s a celebration of local love.
Come together
The band was born from mutual love of karaoke — and a bit of good timing.
“I was actually a karaoke singer, believe it or not. And I would go to karaoke almost every week. Some of (my future band mates) heard me sing and they’re like ‘let’s do this’,” Brooke Paige says.
From that point on, Brooke Paige and the Rumble Seat began to take shape.
“We have really deep roots in the community,” Paige notes.
The five-piece group — made up of Paige on vocals, alongside guitar, bass, drums and keyboard — has since built a reputation for high-energy shows, swinging rhythms and heartfelt performances.
“We’re all from around here. We’ve played everything from cozy venues to bigger festivals, which is really cool.”
The genre-bending and crowd-loving band brings a variety of sounds and immense local pride to their shows.
“Our fans are amazing — they’re always dancing and singing along,” Paige adds.
“I totally feed off that energy. It’s electrifying.”
Homegrown talent
The event, put together by the Steinbach Arts Council (SAC), will take place on Nov. 21 at 7 p.m.
Tara Schellenberg, performing arts coordinator at the SAC, says she’s always looking for ways to promote local musicians.
“We’ve got so much talent here in Southeastern Manitoba,” Schellenberg notes.
It will be an evening of musical magic, local grub and celebration of the Southeast.
“The price of the ticket isn’t just admission. It also does cover your first round. Basically, your first round is on us,” Paige adds.
“It’s a chance to come together and celebrate what makes Steinbach special.”
Tickets are on sale and can be purchased on the SAC website or by calling their office at 204-346-1077.
