That’s what we were reaching for and it has been taken away from us for a long time. It’s the reason we got into music when we first formed a band back when I was 13 years old. “But being able to put the band together and getting out and feeling the energy of the crowd - when you have a PA system and production and lighting - it’s the reason we started. “I very much enjoy doing solo shows by myself with a guitar it’s a whole different type of experience for the audience and it’s wonderful,” he said. Voss had to cancel last year’s album tour due to COVID, so his live promotion of the record has been limited to a few outdoor concerts and virtual shows, along with private acoustic performances for small outdoor gatherings. To have the government finally step forward and basically get behind this, it definitely puts my mind at ease and makes things a lot better.”Īs a result, Voss can now put his focus where it belongs - on the music.Īfter releasing a new album at the start of the pandemic in March of 2020 - Come Along With Me - he picked up roots album-of-the-year and male artist-of-the-year honours at this year’s Saskatchewan Country Music Association awards. As far as logistics go, it would have been a nightmare and it wouldn’t have been tenable. “But how do you institute such a policy (on your own) as far as the documentation goes and having people to quote-unquote ‘police’ it. “Speaking for myself, I wanted to see this,” Voss added.
“For my audience and my demographic, (vaccination) is important to them. “For quite a long stretch, people were pretty hesitant,” he said. Voss said most of the feedback he has received about the full-vaccination requirement for Friday’s show has been from people who are “relieved” and “happy to hear it.”Īfter the announcement was made, he noticed that ticket sales started to pick up.
I felt normal again.”ĬOVID-19 has proven to be resilient, which is why some restrictions - like masks and proof of vaccination - have been instituted this fall.Īlthough mandatory vaccination is controversial in some corners, it’s quickly becoming part of the new standard in the entertainment industry. I was busy every week and I was back making a living. In July and August I think we did something like 18 or 19 shows. “It was fantastic because I was able to go back to work and I worked consistently. Many of them took place after Saskatchewan’s previous COVID restrictions were removed on July 11. Voss is also grateful that he was able to book smaller private outdoor shows over the summer. Before we were operating on a week-to-week contingency basis.” I can now start to plan for stuff into the new year. “Everything is (usually) planned two to six months in advance, if not longer. “Going forward, I can now plan shows,” he said. Those shows will be Voss’s first full-fledged indoor concerts since the pandemic began - and among the first to be staged in the Regina area since the new proof-of-vaccine requirement was imposed by the Saskatchewan government.

But I think it gets lost that this is our business and this is how we make a living.”Īlthough the pandemic is far from over, Voss is grateful that recent measures have allowed him to start booking live indoor shows again, including this week at Moose Jaw’s Mae Wilson Theatre (Thursday) and the Turvey Centre in Regina (Friday). “That’s where the terminology sometimes gets in the way when we say: ‘We’re playing shows’ or ‘I’m going out to play for people.’ We love to play music. “People in the entertainment industry and also hospitality, we were the first to be shut down and we were the last to be able to go back to work,” noted Voss. The best way to do that is by performing regularly on stage - something that was taken away when live music went on hiatus early in the COVID-19 pandemic.
