Patchwork Threads

On Saturday, October 10 come celebrate music with a special Thanksgiving house concert featuring Christina Martin.  She will be joined on stage by Dale Murray.   The fact that this will be Christina’s 5^th time at Patchwork reflects the high regard we have for her and her music.  Christina and Dale consistently knock their shows out of the park; case in point: the cd release for her new album It’ll Be Alright at the Spatz Theatre this past February.  Here is what Bob Mersereau, Author of the Top 100 Canadian Albums, said about It’ll Be Alright: “Always known as one of the area’s best lyricists, with an ability to get right inside the heart of her characters and listeners, Martin has translated that emotion in a bigger rock sound.” 

Check out her music and some amazing videos at http://www.christinamartin.net

 “Fans of Petty and Springsteen, this is for you” Voted 9/10 Americana-UK

“Vocally Supreme, Lyrically Superb and the music is second to none.”  Rock Bandom-UK

“Rootsy East Coast songstress Christina Martin delivers another winner with her fifth album, It’ll Be Alright.” Kerry Doole, New Canadian Music

Christina and Dale spend a lot of time on the road and they will be taking off yet again later this fall so don’t miss this chance to see them live playing songs from her new and previous catalogue.

Show time is 8 pm. $20 per person (all money goes to the musicians, every time)

BYOB. Snacks offered (shareable snacks accepted gratefully but not required)

RSVP to mleblanc.patchwork@gmail.com or by calling 902 434-8355.

If you have family from out of town visiting for the long weekend, take them with you.  All listeners welcome.

News Flash!!  Patchwork will be presenting a special house concert this fall featuring Erin Costelo & the Blue Engine String Quartet!!

These are musicians of the highest calibre and this is a rare opportunity to hear this combination in such a small space as ours.  To ensure we make the most of this gift, we are selling tickets in advance.  We do have a limited space and will not be able to ‘squeeze you in’ at the last minute once our goal is met.  If you are interested in attending this show, please advise and we will get you settled , either via an e-transfer or by getting cash to me.  I am around for much of the summer.

Saturday, September 19 @ 8 pm.  Tickets: $30

Spring burst forth in a panic as summer waits (im)patiently in the wings.  Join us for an evening of music with Quiet Parade – a five piece folk-pop band with songs of Nova Scotia towns, ghosts and…..a bunch of new songs that will be released in a new full length recording this fall.

Quiet Parade : Saturday June 20 @ 8 pm ($20 suggested donation – all $$ to the artists).

Pat LePoidevin will be bringing a brand new EP to his spring shows, adding to a long list of fabulous collections of original songs.  His previous cd American Fiction remains my favourite find of 2015 with songs that are captivating and beautiful.

And he will be joined on stage by Audrey Brouillet on cello!  I love the cello.  Don’t you?

Possibly the most powerful male singer-songwriter signed up to Searchlight this year. This guy has LUNGS. And LYRICS. For fans of Dan Mangan, Patrick Watson, and Bon Iver.
– Grant Lawrence, CBC Music

Born of a sleepy mountain town in British Columbia and built in equal parts by Scotland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and the Yukon, Pat LePoidevin is a songwriter strongly influenced by community. With an extensive songwriting resume and four albums to his name, LePoidevin has built a sizable fan base on relentless touring and standout performances at some of Canada’s most prestigious music festivals, including the Dawson City Music Festival and SappyFest. On stage, LePoidevin is like a warm light filtering through cold windows to frozen streets. His powerful, melodic vocals bring life to his songs. With friends and fans across the country, LePoidevin is at home wherever he is playing.
