SINGER SONGWRITER NIGHT AT THE BACKHALL
Wed April 23, at 7 pm we are featuring a singer/songwriter performance, featuring four Denman musicians, teaming up to showcase their songwriting( and performing) skills. Throughout this fun filled evening in the Backhall we are bringing lyrics and music together to weave stories, and show the possibilities,the inspirations, and the stories behind the songs.
Richard Garvey is a guitar-strumming, banjo-plucking, and sing-along-starting performer and community organizer. His award winning songs explore the highs and lows of love, injustice, and the marbled mess of the human condition. Whether he’s playing to a living room or an amphitheatre, Richard brings clever songs and a sly sense of humour to inspire solidarity, hope, and change. Bee plays songs for the heart, sharing thoughtful and sometimes provocative lyrics to inspire a deeper connection to ourselves and each other. She brings her full self to the stage, and sings songs to the changing times that we are in, with their grief, joy, inspiration, all felt upon the backdrop of the steady deep heartbeat of the earth
Kevin Mitchell has released over 7 full albums and hundreds of songs,and has learned a thing or two about songwriting in the process ! In the vein of Alt Country Roots, Folk and Blues, his songs are honest and engaging and performed with a unique style that plays like the band. Strong rhythms and uniquely original lyrics combine for a refreshing and upbeat sound. Joining Kevin on bass and vocals is Steve Ireland, adding a multi layered depth that creates a unique musical chemistry! Steve, in addition to work and family, finds the time to contribute to many musical projects on Denman, and has been featured on many local stages in the past few years. Together all of this should add up to an enjoyable and inspiring evening of song, with concession provided.$10- $20 sliding scale is suggested! Hope to see you there
