Lee Harvey Osmond (a.k.a. Juno-winning musician Tom Wilson) will perform his psychedelic roots music on Wednesday at The Hideout, south of Red Deer.

Wilson’s Lee Harvey Osmond persona started as a collaborative effort with members of Cowboy Junkies and Skydiggers.

Osmond is actually the name of a Canadian folk band, whose core member is Wilson on lead vocals and guitar, but now also includes Aaron Goldstein on guitar and pedal steel, Cam Malcolm on bass guitar, Brent Titcomb on percussion and vocals and Ray Farrugia on drums.

The band’s debut 2009 album, A Quiet Evil, was a long-listed nominee for the Polaris Music Prize, as was the second album, The Folk Sinner, released in January.

Wilson is better known for being in Juno Award-winning Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, along with Stephen Fearing and Colin Linden, and also for being a former member of Junkhouse.

His songs have been covered by Mavis Staples, Colin James and Billy Ray Cyrus, among others, and have been used for television and film.

Tickets to the 8 p.m. concert at The Hideout in Gasoline Alley are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Doors open at 6 p.m.
