WESTBEN OPEN AIR FALL FEST
SEPTEMBER 9TH – 25TH, 2022

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9TH AT 7 PM
Showman & Coole
AROUND THE CAMPFIRE
Through twenty years and a couple of thousand shows together in bands such as The Foggy Hogtown Boys and The Lonesome Ace Stringband, John Showman and Chris Coole have developed a deep and instinctual musical bond. Having performed across North America and Europe at festivals ranging from Merlefest to Mariposa, their music lurks around a truly unique space that is somewhere on the outskirts of old-time, bluegrass, and folk.

One of the most distinctive voices of the Canadian rock and folk music scenes, Sarah Harmer returns to Westben for another special concert.

A dedicated environmentalist, Sarah Harmer’s latest release, “Oh Little Fire”, received accolades around the globe with 4-star reviews from the London Sunday Times to Winnipeg Free Press to The Washington Post and everywhere in between. Her solo debut, 2000’s “You Were Here”, was called the best debut of the year by Time magazine and Rolling Stone celebrated the CD’s “dozen killer songs.” Sarah received a Juno award for 2005’s “All Of Our Names” and her last release “I’m a Mountain” was nominated for the inaugural Polaris Music Prize.

Cardboard & Quill
What animates you? Are you meticulously detailed, or do you just take things as they come?
