Cassie Noble & Gamekeeper – November 10

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 🙂.

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.

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.

LYNNE HANSON – Matinee June 2

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 🙂

Kristen Martell – April 13

To tide us over between Juno week and the ECMAs, we welcome bilingual folk/pop artist Kristen Martell on April 13.  Tickets are $20 and available here.  



Reminiscent of Sarah McLachlan with hints of Jewel, her earthy introspective songs have the warmth of a golden sunset.  Gentle arrangements, haunting harmonies and insightful messages make her the perfect soundtrack to ease your melancholy. Take a listen to a couple of beautiful tracks:
Photograph of Secrets
Quiet Hearts

With multiple East Coast Music Association and Music Nova Scotia award nominations since her return to music in 2020, Kristen is making a name for herself in the East Coast music scene and beyond.  Her latest album ‘Every Season’ (Sept 30, 2022) is her most confident, self-assured and emotionally compelling work to date. It was nominated for the 2023 ECMA ‘Album of the Year’ and ‘Folk Recording of the Year’.  It also ranked #6 on the Earshot National Folk/Roots/Blues radio charts in early 2023 and was named one of Great Dark Wonder’s best albums of 2022.   Kristen is currently working on a Francophone project to honour her Acadian heritage.  Her first Francophone single Parmi nos fantômes was just released.  Listen here

Kristen’s performance is an intimate and heartfelt experience that revolves around her captivating vocals and thoughtful lyrics accompanied by the warm sounds of her classical guitar and keys. Regardless of language, Kristen’s music creates a warm and inviting atmosphere where audience members feel moved.

Kristen Martell – April 13 – tickets 

Tickets are also available now for the remaining 2 shows in our spring line-up.  Why not pick up those as well (gifts for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day?????).
