Patchwork Threads

Kane & Potvin were fantastic.  When they are back around, go see them! Uber talented musicians. Confident. Funny. Charming.

Do you remember the Canadian bands The Grapes of Wrath and The Northern Pikes?  The bands that ate up the charts in the late 80’s early 90s?  The lead singers of these two iconic Canadian bands (Kevin Kane and Bryan Potvin) have formed a duo performing classic songs from their days as front men for these groups as well as original material written as part of their newly discovered synergy as song writers.  The result…..well come to Patchwork House Concerts on April 22nd and see for yourself!  You will not be disappointed.

**We have started selling tickets in advance for our house concerts, for a few reasons…..it will really help us plan set-up (including snack preparation) and provide assurances to the artists that they will have an audience.  We’ve had evenings where a bunch of people who RSVP’d did not show up (ain’t that a drag for the artists – who get 100 % of the door) and evenings where people show up without RSVP’ing creating some space challenges (we really want everyone to be comfortable).  So, decide to join us, make a commitment and get your $$ to me (either by e-transfer or by dropping it to me at work downtown Halifax or home) then mark the date(s) in your calendar with a big happy face.

This is not an April fool’s joke folks! On April 1 we welcome back Dave Sampson.  He’ll be here with Laurenn Marchand.

See Upcoming page for info on our Earth Day show featuring Kane & Potvin.

Dave’s debut album had this catchy tune “No Pressure, No Diamonds” that was picked up by Classified and went nuts on billboard charts.  Dave also collaborated with Neon Dreams on their single “Love Experts” which made it to the billboard EDM top 40.  But Sampson is not just a song writer.  He delivers his songs with a captivating voice that could blow down a brick house.

“Heartfelt, energized and emotional, Dave Sampson has obvious natural talent as a singer-songwriter.  Recommended for fans of Joel Plaskett, David Myles and Hawksley Workman.”

We discovered Laurenn Marchand at this year’s In-the-dead-of-winter festival and loved her songs, her voice and her stories.  Laurenn, often compared to Feist and Joni Mitchell, is an indie/folk singer-songwriter who will bring warmth to your soul.  Her debut EP, Ghosts in the Garden, was nominated for Solo Recording of the Year, Folk Recording of the Year and New Artist Recording of the Year at the 2016 MNS Awards.
