UPCOMING CONCERTS

JAMES KEELAGHAN

Friday, February 24, 8 pm

Called Canada’s finest singer-songwriter, James Keelaghan is an artist who has proven to be a man for all seasons. For almost a quarter of a century now, this poet laureate of the folk and roots music world has gone about his work with a combination of passion, curiosity intent and intensity. His masterful story telling has, over the course of nine recordings, been part of the bedrock of his success, earning Keelaghan nominations and awards - including a Juno - and acclaim from Australia to Scandinavia.
  
Admiration and respect for his work amongst his peers is reflected in the words of David Francey who recently stated that “James Keelaghan is a voice in contemporary Canadian song writing that has helped us define who we are as a people. He writes with great humanity and honesty, with an eye to the past and a vision of the future. He has chronicled his times with powerful and abiding songs, with heart and eyes wide open.”

James eleventh CD, House of Cards, was released in 2009 by Borealis records. 10 new originals, some of them co-written with such folk luminaries as Karine Polwart and Rose Cousins, make it one of his best yet.

Tickets are $20 at www.ticketsplease.ca, call (613) 485-6434 or in person at Jo’s Clothes in Perth.  $25 at the door.  Seating is limited
