Patchwork Threads

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.

What do you get when you pair up Blues guitar wizard with a folk rocker? Magic, that’s what.

Joe Coffin, a nationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist hailing from St. Johns, Newfoundland, gained recognition as one half of the renowned blues duo Earle and Coffin. With two albums and two EPs under their belt, their projects earned them prestigious accolades, including Canadian Folk Music Awards in 2016 and 2018, along with MusicNL awards (2017 & 2018 Jazz/Blues Artist of the Year) and nominations for ECMA and Maple Blues Awards.

Touring extensively throughout Canada and the US, Joe has played at Mariposa Folk Festival, Harvest Folk Festival, and Philadelphia Folk Festival and shared stages with Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Matt Andersen, and Garrett Mason.

Currently based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Joe is now focusing on his solo career, releasing his first single “Idle Above” in 2023. His signature sound seamlessly merges blues, folk, and alternative vibes, inviting listeners to close their eyes and immerse themselves in the captivating groove.

Andrew Rodgers is a singer-songwriter based in St. John’s, Newfoundland. He is also a member of the band, Fairgale, that has shared the stage with the Arkells, Lights, Melissa Etheridge, Blue Rodeo, Trooper, and Sloan. In 2023 Fairgale took home MusicNL’s Rock Artist of the Year and the group’s latest album, “The Way It Was Before”, was nominated for the 2024 ECMA Rock Recording of the Year.
