Serena Ryder headlines Surrey Canada Day

Serena Ryder played to an enthusiastic (although “slightly” wet) crowd at the Bill Reid Amphitheatre for Surrey’s Canada Day celebration.  Even though the day had several dark and ominous clouds overhead, it stayed quite warm – and dry – that is until they were setting up for Serena’s set … 

Serena started, then stopped singing the first song due to technical difficulties with her mic … the band kept playing for a bit, hoping it was a quick fix, but it proved to be a bit more challenging … enter Brett Kissel as a guest MC of sorts.

 

Once the technical issues were resolved, the rain had died down a bit and the show was able to continue!  No one really left … they all stayed not just through the end of the set but for the fireworks afterwards.

Despite the rain, everyone was engaged, singing along on queue and dancing.  The VIPs, organizers, volunteers, and even a few security guards, were dancing in the rain along with Serena to wrap up the night.  Due to the delays and the fireworks about set to go off, the set was unfortunately shortened a bit.
