Joe H Henry helps us kick off 2025

Posted on January 1, 2025 by patchworkhouseconcerts

Happy New Year! I hope your year-end was filled with peace and joy.  And I hope your new year is filled with music….sweet live music…..like we have in store for you in the Patchwork living room.  

First up we have Joe H Henry, who has taken the East Coast by storm with his powerful voice delivering gritty roots songs wrapped in compelling stories. Joe will be here on Saturday, January 18. Show time is 8 pm.  Tickets are $25 and available here.

The son of award-winning Canadian country musician Harvey Henry, Joe H Henry was born to sing. Gifted with a one-of-a-kind voice and a love for story telling through song, drawing from his musical roots and Metis heritage of the Red River Valley.   Joe’s younger years were spent riding freight trains from town to town with nothing but a faithful dog and a guitar, collecting life lessons and harnessing the flame of inspiration that was often masked in struggle. Eventually settling down to raise a family, Joe moved to a homestead on North Mountain, Nova Scotia with his wife and five children in 2020. Since the release of his debut EP, Keep the Fire Burning, (Summer 2023) Joe has been wholeheartedly sharing his talents with the world.

Tickets are also live for our February show featuring Stephen Fearing.  He will be here on Sunday, February 16 (the following day is Heritage Day so a holiday for many).  Note: his two shows at The Carleton have sold out so get on this…….Tickets are a steal at $30 for a musician of this calibre.

In March, we welcome two rising stars on the Halifax music scene.  Julia Cunningham & Mat Hughes will be here together on the 15th and tickets ($25) just went live for this show. 

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. So gather some friends – grab your tickets – and head on over – easy as that!   See you soon 🙂.

Wrapping up 2024 with a BIG BOW – Exciting shows in 2025

Posted on December 15, 2024 by patchworkhouseconcerts

We could not have wished for a better end to 2024 than our show with Ian Sherwood (joined on stage with Chris Kirby and Malia Rogers) on Dec 14. WOW-ZA what a TIME we all had. It was cozy with a full house coming together in friendship and music, comfort and joy. And there was joy! Ian did a couple of holiday favourites and the entire room joined in…….

Our first show of 2025 will come up quite quickly after the mistletoe is put away so grab your tickets now. Come to think of it, tickets to a Patchwork House Concert would make a lovely Christmas gift for that special (perhaps hard to buy for) someone……

Guitar, saxophone, huge songwriting and a voice that won him a Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Singer, Ian Sherwood Brings The Light to every stage he stands on. A born story teller and a constant creator, his music dances the line between folk and pop. His live performances thrive on intimacy: what a perfect venue our living room shall be!

But we already know this – having hosted Ian on several occasions in the past. This time round Ian will be joined on stage by Chris Kirby and Malia Rogers performing songs from his brand new record, Broken Little Heart. Picking up a copy of this cd or vinyl at our show could solve all of your ‘what to gift so-and-so’ dilemmas this holiday season. And Ian’s show at Patchwork on Dec 14 could be that festive spirit gathering you and your friends/colleagues have been looking for.

Whether it’s a theatre show or large festival stage, Ian’s persona is irresistible and completely destroys fourth walls.

Tickets are $25 and available here. 

Tickets are also on sale for our next few shows……and tickets to live music make for a lovely Christmas gift (hint hint):

Kylie Fox – November 30

Posted on November 11, 2024 by patchworkhouseconcerts

Kylie Fox is a singer songwriter who fuses folk storytelling with vintage elements of jazz and alternative rock. With influences like Kate Bush, Sharon Van Etten, and Joni Mitchell, her music is ethereal, lush and real.

Praise for Kylie’s new album Sequoia, produced by Daniel Ledwell, is impressive:

“Kylie Fox wows with musical magic on new album Sequoia…fabulous” – SKOPE

“Never a dull moment. Each song is transformative…the beauties of Kylie’s balladry….Good, good, good…” – AMERICANA HIGHWAYS

“Just about everybody in the industry is sitting up and taking notice.” – FIND YOUR SOUNDS

Curious? You can get a sneak peak of the richness of her voice by watching the video of her song Sequoia, or of her sense of fun and love for storytelling by watching the video for “Confetti”. Maybe you caught her single Brandi Baby, which climbed to #1 on the CIOE East Coast Top 30. For links to these and more, visit Kylie’s landing page.

Fox’s debut album, Green (2020), led her to tour Canada extensively, sharing stages alongside names like Bahamas, The Strumbellas and Joel Plaskett, along with showcasing at the East Coast Music Awards (2021), Folk Alliance International (2021) and the Canadian Song Conference (2021). She was named “Innovator of the Year” at the 2023 PrixNB Awards and Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the 2020 Music NB Awards.

Tickets are only $20 and available here. 

Tickets are also on sale for our next few shows……and tickets to live music make for a lovely Christmas gift (hint hint):

Cassie Noble & Gamekeeper – November 10

Posted on October 12, 2024 by patchworkhouseconcerts

On Sunday, November 10 (Monday is Remembrance Day), we are delighted to present two creative talents from Ontario. Each has enjoyed success as part of other groups: Cassie Noble with The Do Good Badlies – bluesy folky grunge rock and Gamekeeper (aka Warren Frank) with Heaps and The Kents. Yet with too much to share, they are touring their solo work together.

Cassie released her first solo EP in 2019. She now has 2 EPs and a newly released (2023) full length album. Noble was awarded Gold in Kawartha Lakes Reader’s Choice 2021 “Local Musician [or] Band”, Gold in Lindsay’s Community Votes 2023, and longlisted for the 2022 Faith Nolan Music Award. Notable performances include Sofar Sounds, Rogers Hometown Hockey, Wintersong Fest, Springtide Festival, Yukon Rendezvous Festival, and opening for Bif Naked. Check out a few videos.

Finding beauty in madness, trying to find the words to share it. Cassie’s Indie Folk Pop style is mellow, heavy with emotion, and overflowing with honesty. The music she creates feels calm and surreal, like sitting by a fire in the middle of nowhere.

Cassie will be supported by Gamekeeper. Sneak peak of his sound…..

Gamekeeper (Warren Frank) is a singer-songwriter from the Kawartha Lakes, best known for his time as the lead singer for indie-rock outfits, The Kents, and Heaps, heard across Canada on national radio.In his new solo project, Gamekeeper, Frank’s voice and lyricism take centre stage in a more stripped-back setting, while maintaining his trademark honest songwriting.

These folks are new to us and may be new to you. Don’t let that stop you from joining us. Tickets are only $20 and available here.

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. So gather some friends – grab your tickets – and head on over – easy as that!   See you soon 🙂.

Visit our ‘upcoming’ page to see what else is in the hopper….hint hint Kylie Fox – Nov 30; Ian Sherwood – Dec 14 WOOT WOOT.
