From HfA
The Huntsville Festival of the Arts is excited to announce a new music series at their downtown studio location.
Each month between March and May, audiences are invited to attend a ‘house concert style’ performance featuring folk musicians and singer-songwriters up close and unplugged. The roster includes several local favourites: Gina Horswood, James Gray, Hannah & Nathan (Hannah Shira Naiman with Nathan Smith) as well as Emma Cook and Cindy Doire. “Come for the music, stay for the good vibes.” says Hannah Naiman, HFA’s Director of Programs, Education & Outreach, “It’s all about a night of music with friends at our “house.”
Concert Series Lineup:
March 6: Gina Horswood. After touring across Australia & Canada for over two decades, Horswood settled in the woods of Northern Ontario and wrote her latest release, “Bare Bones” (2020), which debuted at #3 on the iTunes singer-songwriter chart. Now, in 2021, with a renewed lust for all things live music, Horswood is back on the road, entertaining crowds as a solo, duo, trio & band. More on the artist at: ginahorswood.com
April 10: James Gray with Hannah & Nathan James Gray: A unique finger-style guitarist with a vocal that is hauntingly beautiful, Gray, often accompanied by a rather droll, humorous stage patter, immerses himself in each and every song with a soulfulness and attack that is infectious and disarming.www.jamesgraymusic.ca. Hannah & Nathan: Huntsville’s Hannah Shira Naiman with Nathan Smith (The Barrel Boys/Vinta), CFMA winners and multi-instrumentalists join forces to deliver banjo-driven roots music with airtight vocal harmonies. www.hannahshiranaiman.com
