Saturday July 31st Grandstand performances will feature comedian Clark Robinson followed by 14 year old Edmonton country singer Danielle Lowe.

Clark Robinson Profile: Funny, laughable, hilarious clean comedy entertainment. Clark Robinson is more than a comedian. With his juggling skills, eclectic array of props, colourful costumes and razor-sharp comedic timing, Clark Robinson is a virtual one-man clean comedy variety show.

Danielle Lowe Profile: http://www.daniellelowe.com/ Known as the little girl with the big voice, Danielle has only been singing for the past four years, but has already managed to scale some of Alberta's biggest mountains! Danielle is one of the most active young performers in the province of Alberta with a focus on performing for non-profit organizations. With an enormous booming voice out of her tiny frame, she has left many audiences stunned at her ability to deliver a solid blow to their senses in less time than it takes her to sing one song.

Miss Lowe has performed for numerous high profile non-profit organizations and for both the Oilers and Oil Kings at Rexall Place. She has also been featured on 97.7 Calgary FM (Calgary radio), cityTV, Global Morning (Edmonton television), and 790 CFCW (Edmonton radio). This will also be the third year that she heads to the prestigious Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose.

Danielle's charity work and publicity has translated into unparalleled competition success.She is the first singer in Edmonton history to win all three major vocal competitions as a junior in the same year: Futures Fest, Country Vocal Spotlight and Northern Star. And she is the youngest singer in history to win the open competition of Country Vocal Spotlight as the Grand Winning Act (ages 13 - 99 years)...a competition where she was up against many seasoned adult veterans!

With several original songs now under her belt, this firecracker of a songwriter and performer is well on her way to her dream of being an international modern country star.
