Sunday 27th afternoon art/music show

This is a photo from Ray - he posted it to facebook - from our Carleton Place gig last weekend. It was incredibly fun, in the photo we are jamming with a group called the Celtic Jammers. The venue was an art/coffee shop called Brushstrokes on Bridge Street. It was a great acoustic evening in a cosy and welcoming place.

Next weekend we have another acoustic set coming up in a legendarily good acoustic space, St Brigid's Centre for Arts and Humanities in the Byward Market. The event is an art show called Rhapsody in Hues, put on by Artemisia to raise money for St Brigid's restoration fund. All the art work is on the theme of music, and there will be music playing throughout the weekend. We are on at 3pm Sunday for an hour of bluegrassy goodness!

Gigs, gigs

First, I have to say that I was BLOWN AWAY last night by ALT. They were already my favourite band, but now... I think they're gods.

Second, I have gigs! One of my gigs of course is that I'm back in my regular job duties at Carleton, so I have classes that I'm going to teach and a program to run and various other stuff.

BUT on the music front, Elizabeth Riley has gigs:

In Carleton Place, this Saturday Sep 12th, between 6-9 pm at Brushstrokes (an artstore/coffeeshop), as part of a show featuring the Celtic Jammers and various poets. This is part of Sounds of Downtown, an annual CP extravaganza, and just one of many examples of the vibrancy of the arts in the Ottawa Valley.

At St Brigid's Centre for Arts and Humanities, Sunday Sep 27th, 3pm, providing music at an art show called "Rhapsody in Hues" which is raising money for the restoration and maintenance of this beautiful historic space.
