Curtis LaBelle Farewell Solo Concert
Central Alberta Pride is extremely proud to present Red Deer's very own rock pianist Curtis Labelle at his Farewell Solo Concert on March 18, 2023 live at the Baymont Inn & Suites.
Curtis Labelle has left his musical footprint on our city for over 20 years. An advocate for the LGBTQ2+ community Curtis has set examples in leadership and inclusion for all. As a teacher he has shared his knowledge with students who are now excelling in their careers, as an artist he has entertained thousands across North America and is engaged with the community as an ambassador to the City of Red Deer, Alberta and is now an honorary Governor to the city of St Thomas Ontario, GVCA Good Vibes Community association. He has shared his gifts and talents to all ages on many stages. Even when there wasn't a stage, Curtis Labelle created it.
As Curtis Labelle comes to his last performance and wraps up his first 40 years of his career, he will be sharing his memoirs, stories, music, tears of joy and love with all the experience and individuals who have been a part of his journey.
Although we are very excited and extremely supportive for Curtis and his new direction in music and his career heading off to Ontario, we are sad to see him depart. Central Alberta Pride and it's members are humbled and thrilled to be presenting this one of a kind performance.
Tickets are on sale now!
