George and I are just back from the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, taking in 3 solid days of wonderful live music. And we did lots of singing, encouraged by venues filled with hundreds of people moved by the power of live music. Psst: you can experience this in our living room by securing tickets to one or all of our upcoming fall shows………

September 9: Red Dirt Skinners Tickets here

Described by Roots Music Canada as “The Pink Floyd of Folk Music” the Red Dirt Skinners are the multi-award winning, multi-instrumentalist husband and wife team of Rob and Sarah Skinner. Widely regarded as one of the most innovative acts to come out of the UK in recent years, the duo cross more genres than would make sense to mention and have won National and International Awards in Rock, Folk, Blues, Country, Roots, Alt-Rock and Songwriting. It would be fair to say that if you like songs influenced by Pink Floyd, Simon and Garfunkel, Supertramp, Queen, and David Bowie coupled with some epic storytelling, humour and heartfelt emotions, you’ll love a Red Dirt Skinners concert.With male and female harmonies blending together as one voice and Sarah’s trademark soprano saxophone solos, you will be swept along by the refreshingly different sound of the Red Dirt Skinners. Consider these Notable Achievements…..

* The first band in history to succeed in more than one genre in National UK Awards
