Breakout West goes Sept. 27-30 in Regina. It’s a showcase of music from the four western Canadian provinces, along with the Yukon. In addition to all the bands that will be performing, and all the workshops that will be held, the Western Canadian Music Awards will also be doled out at a gala at Casino Regina Show Lounge on Sept. 30.
