IAN SHERWOOD – Broken Little Heart cd release show!

Posted on December 1, 2024 by patchworkhouseconcerts

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):

Joe H Henry – January 18

Stephen Fearing – February 16 

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 🙂.

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.

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 🙂.

LYNNE HANSON – Matinee June 2

Posted on May 22, 2024 by patchworkhouseconcerts

What a classy way to wrap up the first half of 2024!

Two-time Canadian Folk Music Award Winner Lynne Hanson will play a MATINEE show on Sunday, June 2.  We’ll get things started at 3 pm and you’ll be home in time for Sunday dinner with the family.  Why not bring the family to the show and then head home?

Lynne Hanson – June 2 (matinee) – tickets are $25 and sold on EventBrite

Lynne Hanson is an Ottawa-based, Americana songwriter known for her high energy roots guitar driven live performance with an authenticity that’s as entertaining as it is disarming.  Too tough for folk and too blues-influenced for country, Lynne’s style of porch music (where a sunshine laced, blue-sky ballad can flip to a full on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next) has garnered her the nickname “Canada’s Own Queen of Americana”.  And while her deep, bluesy croon has drawn comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, it’s the poetry of her lyrics that really sets her apart.  Case in point: Light In Me (video of her performing acoustic with just another guitar player at her side).

A prolific songwriter, Lynne has released 9 studio albums along with two books of poetry over her 18 year solo career.  She’s toured extensively across North America, Europe and the UK (she is in Colorado at the moment) and has appeared at leading international festivals including Take Root (Netherlands), Glasgow Americana (Scotland), Maverick Festival (UK), Kerrville Folk (US) and Winnipeg Folk Festival.  Lynn Hanson releases her tenth studio album “Just a Poet” this spring.  For videos of her live performance, visit her website here.


So gather some friends – grab your tickets – and head on over – easy as that!  For each show, the artist(s) take 100% of ticket sales.  We provide a stage, an audience and offer snacks to guests. All shows are BYOB.  Bringing music-loving-friends is strongly encouraged.  See you soon 🙂
