The bands for the Morden Corn & Apple Festival have been announced.

Jocelyne Durand, Entertainment Committee Head for the Corn & Apple Festival

Jocelyne Durand, the Entertainment Committee Chairperson for the Corn & Apple Festival, says the process for choosing bands usually starts just before Christmas, however, the committee only got to work this year in February.

Durand mentions Friday will be a country night, featuring Manitobans Renée Lamoureux and Quinton Blair. Headlining Friday evening will be CCMA and Juno Award winners The Road Hammers.

Saturday brings in a local band called The Mood, then showcases The Pumps/Orphan, who are opening for Chilliwack, the main feature for the evening.

Durand noted the country night is being brought in to "switch things up" this year, instead of having the usual Friday night rock music.
