Townships Heritage Music Tour

I had a wonderful time on the Gaspe.  the tour was a great success, the people were very supportive, and I look forward to heading back next year. The fur baby met her first porcupine and was wise enough to keep her distance. My co-pilot and photographer, Jessica Renehan, received her masters in tarping, and I got my badge for fire-starting in the rain!

Now on to the next leg of the Heritage Music Tour.

I am busy rehearsing with my guest performers, and polishing some new material to play at these five unique venues in the townships.

In the coming weeks, I will provide more information about these cultural institutions, and the performers I will have the privilege of sharing the stage with.

Oct 4- North Hatley, The Piggery Theatre, with guest Kate Morison
Oct 5-Knowlton, Brome County Historical Society, with guest Sarah Biggs
Oct 9-Richmond, Wales Home, with guest Patricia Hortop-Benson
Oct 12-Lennoxville, Uplands Museum, with guest storyteller Michel Thibault
Oct 13-Stanstead, Haskell Free Library, with guest Emily Nyman

This tour was made possible with the generous support of ELAN and the Department of Canadian Heritage.

I find that in the Fall, everyone tends to move a bit faster than usual. People are rushing out to catch the last  rays of summer sun, harvest, start school, stack wood, pickle, rake, bust out the sweaters and jackets.
It is important to take a breath, enjoy the moment, give thanks for what the summer gave us, and look forward to a peaceful winter under a blanket of snow.

I invite you all to join me during this busy time, to take a breath, sit back, and enjoy some music with some talented artists, in some very unique and intimate venues.
