We have another fantastic concert coming up on Saturday, April 30th. It’s coming up fast, and we have a few in-person tickets and streaming tickets for sale.
Get full details on the concert experience – both in-person and streaming. Just a reminder that we do ask that patrons who don’t feel well stay home (anyone can swap a regular ticket for a streaming link — just ask!), and exercise all the care and consideration they would for friends and neighbours. We no longer require masks; however, the Health Unit still advises that masks are still excellent protection in close quarters, and we want people to feel comfortable wearing them if they so choose.
Ian Sherwood
Ian Sherwood is a singer-songwriter, storyteller, and multi-multi-instrumentalist. He is charming in person and funny as heck on stage between songs. He brings a real verve and sense of fun to his stage performance, exploring human relationships, telling stories of ordinary folks, firefighters, and troublemakers.
His voice is supple, veering between gravel at the low end and fine whisky – and did we mention his whistling? His most recent recording, Bring the Light, produced by Daniel Ledwell, is hooky, clever, and versatile, reminding us what a broad net you can cast with folk music.
“You know that Silk Soy Milk? The chocolate kind? That’s what his voice sounds like.”
Shaun Majumder, Comedian
Evangeline Gentle
Opening for Ian Sherwood will be Evangeline Gentle, a rising star from Peterborough, now based in Hamilton. Evangeline brings a clarion voice and introspective song writing to the stage.
Their self-titled LP was recorded just down the road at Jim Bryson’s Fixed Hinge Studios, and has all the vocal warmth and precise sound you’d expect.
You won’t want to miss this great evening, and with in-person and streaming tickets available, you won’t have to!
Our shows are still held at the Almonte Old Town Hall, third floor (there’s an accessible elevator if you use the side entrance). Doors open at 7:30, showtime is 8:00. Please bring a little cash if you’d like to pick up some music or a t-shirt at the merch table, or a cold beverage or cookie from our bar.
