Hot weather, hot tickets on St. Joseph Island

St. Joseph Island is gearing up for another exciting season of the Old Town Hall Concert Series, now in its 21st year.

With a stellar lineup this year, tickets are in hot demand.  

The performance of Quartette on August 3 is sold out, and the other two concerts in the series are well on their way.

The Series this year welcomes back Quartette for their second visit, along with pop / jazz vocalist Barbra Lica, fresh from a TV special on Vision TV, as well as Fathead, an award-winning staple of the Canadian Blues circuit.

As one of Canada's top upcoming jazz artists, Barbra Lica describes her style as somewhere between singer/songwriter, vintage pop and jazz.

Lica smiles when she sings, and you can hear that smile even recorded, on her two albums.

Her bright, clear and happy vocals and upbeat songwriting were inspired by Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald and Irving Berlin, and she lists fellow free-spirited singer/songwriters Regina Spektor and Sara Bareilles as her current favourite artists.

CBC Radio named her one of Canada's Top 5 Female Jazz Singers, and Toronto's Jazz 91 FM said she's "a dazzling performer who has talent to burn and vocals that will knock you over."

We are proud to welcome Barbra Lica to the Island for our 21st Season!

Several members of Fathead have performed over the years at our Series, but as part of other acts.

Finally we're bringing this incredible Juno-winning blues ensemble to St. Joseph Island!

Fathead came together in 1992 and have been sharing their blend of blues, folk, funk and soul on the North American festival circuit ever since.

Made up of John Mays, Al Lerman, Bob Tunnoch, Papa John King and Bucky Berger, this well-respected group of musicians create an energetic blend of blues peppered with r&b, funky, gospel-tinged soul and feel-good rock and roll.

Real Blues magazine said Fathead has it all: "talent, personality, humour, united vision and a little bit of hoodoo/voodoo.”

We're thrilled to welcome Fathead to our Series in 2016!
