The Deep Dark Woods & Good Time Charlies


The Plains Hotel/Good Time Charlies pub was a write in nomination a short time ago for the CBC Radio2 Music Quest contest to have a great Canadian songwriter immortalize the Plains hotel before it is tragically closed.


Saskatoon was close in votes but the people whom love the Plains prevailed. They also beat out:

Regina
Batoche
Love

"The Deep Dark Woods are writing a song about Good Time Charlies! The name almost says it all for the Deep Dark Woods: their timeless, beautifully eerie, desolate acoustic sound draws much inspiration from the sights and sounds of the prairie winter." - cbc.ca/radio2

"The Deep Dark Woods - Hang me, Oh Hang Me"
**This is not the song but will give you an idea of The Deep Dark Woods and who they are.**
