The third concert in the Shaunavon Arts Council's Stars for Saskatchewan Concert Series for this season goes this weekend.

Flamenco guitarist, Eric Harper, will be at Center Street United Church this Saturday February 18th with his special brand of music.

Harper says his mother was a concert pianist and he grew up surrounded by classical music. His musical influences didn't stop there however. He says, "I tell my story of how I was born in Arkansas and then we moved a lot..my travels to the states and ending up in Portugal and then landing in Canada about seven years ago. And so my journeys of being a metal head and then studying classical music, and then learning Flamenco from the gypsies in Spain. Bringing all that together in a sort of unity and diversity."

Eric Harper's performance begins at seven thirty p.m. Saturday evening.
