The Grand Cariboo Opry with Barney Bentall & Guests (Ridley Bent, Matt Masters, Dustin Bentall, Kendel Carson to name a few) is an annual fundraiser in support of the Potluck Café Society. Over the last five years, the Opry has raised enough money to feed over 40,000 nutritious meals to residents living in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside. Back by demand for the sixth consecutive year, Barney Bentall & The Grand Cariboo Opry roll into Vancouver’s historical Vogue Theatre for another highly anticipated performance on November 19th.
The Opry is a highly entertaining classic variety show experience hosted by Barney Bentall, who works through humourous monologues and fronts a big band consisting of the Legendary Hearts and many other talented musicians, augmented with lap steel, fiddle and piano. Everyone plays and everyone sings....sometimes all at once! The show is chalked full of music, humour, warm wit and unique sponsorship promotions reminiscent of another era.
