Logan Richard & Noah Malcolm – December 6

Posted on November 17, 2025 by patchworkhouseconcerts

We are delighted to welcome back to the living room Logan Richard.  He will be here on December 6 with fellow Islander Noah Malcolm.  Together they represent some of the BEST rising talent of the region.  Nominations for PEI Music Awards 2026 just came out and Logan co-leads the pack with 5 nominations (tied with Lennie Gallant).

 
Logan Richard is one of music’s rarest creatures— a sharp, versatile songwriter and an electrifying guitarist, bringing both talents together on his new full-length album, Character Traits. Influenced by blues legend Stevie Ray Vaughan, as well as John Mayer, Jason Isbell, and his Acadian musical roots, Richard started performing live at just 12 years old. His debut at Patchwork was not long after and we’ve been following his rapid trajectory ever since.

Over the past decade, he’s built a reputation as an in-demand session player and a standout solo artist, developing a genre-fluid style that spans slick pop, spacey R&B, and soulful folk. Produced by David Myles and Joshua Van Tassel, Character Traits is a masterclass in versatility and heart. Songs like the autobiographical title track and the shimmering “Up From Here” reflect on identity, relationships, and the search for belonging, while tracks like “Feels This Way” and “Feel The World Spinning” show off Richard’s melodic instincts and guitar chops, not to mention “If You’re Gonna to Change Your Mind“. It’s a record that reveals the wide scope of his artistry — every song a different piece of the puzzle.

Richard’s music has already landed over two dozen sync placements, including Hudson & Rex, Ginny & Georgia, and Workin’ Moms, introducing his heartfelt songs to a wider audience. Along the way, he has picked up multiple Music PEI Awards and nominations and has been recognized by the East Coast Music Awards.

With 4 Music PEI awards, 4 ECMA nominations and a recent win for Pop Recording of the Year, Prince Edward Island singer-songwriter and producer Noah Malcolm is making his mark. He’s appeared at M for Montreal, Lunenburg Folk Fest, Cavendish Beach, JUNOFest (Halifax, Vancouver) NXNE, and with the PEI Symphony. Known for his catchy hooks, intimate lyrics and originality on stage, Noah is an exciting new folk/pop voice in the Canadian music scene. His songs have been heard on Family Channel, Hallmark Channel, CBC Gem and more.

Alongside his solo project, he’s a versatile songwriter, having attended song camps in Lunenburg, Toronto, Madrid, Helsinki, and the 2025 SOCAN Song House at the ECMAs. An active composer, he’s scored numerous short films, TV scores and his first feature-length film in 2023 (Paramount Plus). 2026 will bring new music, a showcase at English Folk Expo and several UK performance dates.

Tickets for this show are $30 and available here: tickets 

If you are looking for a new way to celebrate the holidays with friends, family or work chums, consider coming en masse to this house concert.  Tickets for this show or one of our 2026 shows could be a secret Santa gift or that little something for the person who has everything.  Our January show features readings by Shelly Thompson from her new collection of winter-themed short stories accompanied by the sounds of the Blue Engine String Quartet.  Our February show falls on Valentines Day and features the Christina Martin trio.  Links to tickets for these shows are listed under ‘upcoming’ and findable on EventBrite.

Like all of our house concerts, 100 % of the door will go directly to the artists. We provide the stage, chairs and hopefully a room filled with eager listeners. Snacks and soft drinks will be offered; otherwise it is BYOB (feel free to bring what ever beverage you wish to enjoy). Bringing music-loving-friends and visiting family members is strongly encouraged. So gather some friends – grab your tickets – and head on over – easy as that!   See you soon 🙂.

Summer Pause will end with a “Bomb” – October show booked!

Posted on June 14, 2025 by patchworkhouseconcerts

Bomb – Kelly McMichael‘s single, that is. Check out the video here and make this your ‘song of summer’. We are stoked to have Kelly slotted in for September 20th! And while I have your attention, don’t delay! Tickets for this show are live now on EventBrite for $25.  

Here’s a taste of what you can expect: You Got it Wrong

Kelly McMichael is an artist and producer known for her buttery vocals, genre-bending arrangements and commanding stage presence. Kelly’s blend of retro pop/rock flirts with psychedelia and jazz to help provide rich packaging for her ‘instant-classic’ songwriting.

Based in Newfoundland, originally from Peterborough, Ontario, Kelly’s career kicked off while she was studying Art at The University of Guelph with her DIY feminist synth band ‘Rouge’. She was recruited to perform with Tim Baker, Sarah Harmer, and The Burning Hell across North America and Europe. After a decade as a side player, Kelly had a breakthrough with her debut, independently-released album, ‘Waves’ (2021), earning a spot on the Polaris Prize shortlist, three Music NL Awards, and the ECMA for ‘Best Rock Recording’.

Kelly McMichael’s sophomore album, ‘After The Sting Of It’ (2024) is a fearless expansion of the classic sound of her first. With an adventurous and broad sonic landscape, the album sits in the comfort of its core ideas – tear down and rebirth. Kelly’s voice is rich with resilience and empathy on record, and “sounds even better live” (Michael Barclay). The single ‘Bomb’ charted on The Verge (satelite), campus radio, and CBC, making the CBC Top 20 along with a second single, ‘Open (Hurts to Have a Heart)’. And BIG NEWS – Kelly made the recently announced Polaris Prize long list for 2025 with this record!!

“I write and record in a way that you’re just giving the song what it needs. “Why limit the creativity?”, Kelly says. “ I don’t want limitations.”

Nor do we! When something sweet comes our way we try to take advantage….like bumping into Kim Dunn at the Carleton a few weeks ago. Chatting with him brought back some great memories of the shows he played here so we asked him to come back and he said yes. Kim Dunn will be here for a solo show on October 25. Tickets on sale now.

Like all of our house concerts, 100 % of the door will go directly to the artists. We provide the stage, chairs and hopefully a room filled with eager listeners. Snacks and soft drinks will be offered; otherwise it is BYOB. Bringing music-loving-friends and visiting family members is strongly encouraged.

Quote the Raven, consisting of Jordan Coaker and Kirsten Rodden-Clarke have been performing together for over a decade. The pair got their start in the small bars and pubs around St. John’s and in the past few years have rapidly grown to a household name around Canada and are steadily growing their clout on an international level. The dynamic duo have a harmonious blend that’s incomparable; it’s like the blending of two voices into one, while their Americana meets east coast songwriting and stage dynamic are irresistibly charming. The duo have performed at major festivals around the Country, including the Vancouver Island, Vancouver, Mission, Canmore, Bear Creek and Lunenburg Folk Festivals. They are recipients of the 2019, 2021, and 2022 MusicNL Group of the Year. Their sophomore album titled Can’t Hold the Light won the 2022 ECMA for Contemporary Roots album of the year and has been nominated for two Canadian Folk Music Awards. And they recently picked up a 2025 ECMA for Roots Release of the Year for their single ‘Already Gone‘. We simply love this duo and you will too!

And please mark your calendars and grab your tickets for our September show, on the 20th of September, featuring the awesome Kelly McMichael.  Tickets are live now on EventBrite for $25.
