Attention live music lovers!
No need to be sad that summer music festival season is over. The brand-new Pelham Concert Series has your back with four concerts featuring incredible musicians performing at the Old Pelham Town Hall in Fenwick this fall.
“Pelham is a community that loves music,” said event organizer Jill Primeau. “The summer is filled with many outdoor live music events. We wanted to keep the live music going by bringing amazing Juno nominated singer/songwriters into the Old Pelham Town Hall throughout the fall.”
These intimate concerts offer general admission seating and a chance to see your favourite artists up close and personal and feel the community connection each evening.
Featured artists for the Pelham Concert Series are: Terra Lightfoot on Sunday, September 29; The Sadies on Saturday, October 26; Spencer Burton on Saturday, November 16; and finally, Hawksley Workman in a holiday show on Saturday December 14. Doors are at 7 p.m. for all shows.
Terra Lightfoot is a Canadian musician and singer-songwriter from Hamilton, Ontario, who has released four albums with the independent music label Sonic Unyon Recording Company and is distributed by Universal Music Group in Canada and The Orchard outside of Canada. She performs in a folk and roots rock style known for bold vocals and electric guitar riffs. She has been nominated for a Juno Award and twice has been on the long list for the Polaris Music prize.
The Sadies are a Canadian rock and roll / country and western band from Toronto, Ontario.
The band consists of Travis Good, Sean Dean and Mike Belitsky. Dallas Good, a founding member, died in 2022. Dallas and Travis are the sons of Margaret and Bruce Good, and nephews of Brian and Larry Good, who are members of the Canadian country group The Good Brothers. The Sadies won a Juno Award in 2023 and were shortlisted for the Polaris Music prize that same year.
Spencer Burton is a Canadian musician who has been active both as a member of the indie rock band Attack in Black and as a solo country singer-songwriter. He also previously performed and recorded under the name Grey Kingdom, releasing two EPs and two albums under that name in the early 2010s before deciding to use his own name on later releases.
Burton won Best Folk Artist of the Year at the Niagara Music Awards in 2017.
Hawksley Workman is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter who has garnered critical acclaim for his blend of cabaret pop and glam rock. Workman has released eleven full-length albums throughout his career. A multi-instrumentalist, he plays guitar, drums, bass, keyboards and sings on his records, often switching between those instruments when playing live.
In 2002, Workman received a Juno Award for Best New Solo Artist.
“These are all award-winning singer songwriters who will bring fantastic shows right to our community,” enthused Primeau. “For the low ticket price of $40 audience members have a chance to see incredible musicians and enjoy a fantastic evening out.”
Primeau finished, “These will be once-in-a-lifetime concerts presented in a very intimate and historical location. You don't want to miss it! We promise!”
