Medicine Hatters will get to view live music from the comfort of their homes Friday thanks to the Folk Music Club.

Alberta band Over the Moon will be performing live on the Medicine Hat Music Club’s Facebook page starting at 7 p.m.

“We wanted to be able to present a show,” said club executive director Rob Pape. “This was going to be our first show and have a limited capacity of 50 people, but everything that’s happening we don’t feel like that’s the safe approach.

“Knowing that, we still feel like Medicine Hat needs live music so we’re going through with the show virtually.”

The band is up for Roots duo of the Year and Artist of the Year with Country Music Alberta.

“They’re really good,” said Pape. “They have a great sound that I think a lot of people will enjoy.

“I hope people stop by and spend some time watching the show.”

Pape says the show should run for around 90 minutes.

People can find the event on the Medicine hat Folk Music Club Facebook page. There is also a donation page set up on http://www.eventbrite.ca
