After 7:30 we are joined in the Studio by Will Pearl, founder and Artistic Director of the Rideau Roots Series Rideau Roots Concert Series Trinity United Church 6656 Rideau Valley Dr S, Kars, Ontario http://www.rideauroots.ca/#/home/agenda/ https://www.eventbrite.ca/o/rideau-roots-concert-series-18041938661 $25 each show or $40 for both Friday, Nov. 16th, 8 pm (doors at 7:30 pm) Bringing together the best of the three local river valleys this evening is a celebration of songwriting. Songwriters move us, and this trio of storytellers are bound to catch your attention. From the Rideau Valley, John Allaire is easily one of Canada’s top independent songwriters. Among his many accolades John has won the American Songwriters’ Association award in Nashville for best lyricist. His storytelling and quick wit make him a perennial festival favourite and a stalwart club-land institution. From the Gatineau Valley via Wakefield the clear eyed clairvoyant Birdie Whyte will sing you songs guaranteed to inoculate you against the any morning blues. Next to horses songwriting is Birdie’s passion and her voice lends an aching depth to the simple country lyrics she lays down. From the Upper Ottawa Valley Terry McLeish has been described as “a Canadian songwriter whose songs and music poignantly capture the lives of cowboys, Ottawa Valley loggers, misfits and as well, the trials, humor and pathos of everyday life.” 8:00 PM - Rob Lutes in Concert - Friday, December 7th Rob Lutes is a soulful singer-songwriter from Montreal with an ever-growing collection of literate, moving meditations on life and love. On his seventh album, Walk in the Dark, he does what he has done for years: kicks up a little dust, wades into some deep waters and tackles the realities of the world with wisdom and some mean guitar work. “As a genuine wordsmith, Rob’s songs are put over with powerful literary skill, and the album benefits from careful listening to really grasp that skill…superbly produced and with a vocal quality that reaches out and draws you into the songs.” – Blues n Roots Radio “Lutes is a fine roots/blues writer, one of those gems you find by chance as you’re going through a town and he’s going through a town and you just want a beer and he gives you the show of the year.” – Bob Mersereau, CBC.ca “For me, Rob Lutes was one of the festival highlights. His unique style, superb musicianship and his rapport with the audience came through loud and clear. A thorough professional, Rob deserves wide recognition as one of Canada’s best musical assets. ” – Mike Hill, AD, Mariposa Folk Festival |
