............

In the wake of Saturday’s tragic accident at the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, Alberta, it is difficult to know what to say. We would like to extend our warmest sympathy to the family and friends of Donna Moore, who was killed, as well as the family and friends of all those who were injured. Our prayers go out to you, and we wish with all our hearts that your loved ones’ stories from the festival were filled only with fond memories of music and celebration.

....

We would like to thank all of the Camrose and Edmonton rescue workers, who responded so valiantly and quickly in the midst of the chaos, as well as the superb staff and volunteers of St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose. Your efforts were amazing, and we owe you a debt of gratitude for our health and safety.

....

We would also like to extend our love and support to our fellow musicians and crews at the festival Saturday, many of whom gathered with us later that night outside of our busses to share stories and attempt to make sense of the day’s events. We are all aware of how lucky we are to be alive, and we are so thankful to be back with our families today. However, our thoughts will continue to be with the city of Camrose and the fans at the Big Valley Jamboree, and we sincerely hope for another opportunity to share music with you.

....

Sincerely,

....

Kevin and Modern West
