Emilie-Claire's returning to the Old Town Hall!

NEWS RELEASE

OLD TOWN HALL SUMMER CONCERT SERIES

************************
Old Town Hall Concerts on St. Joseph Island is today announcing the 22nd season of its annual summer concert series.

New this year is online ticket ordering with digital ticket delivery.  When you order your tickets online, we'll email them to you instantly. Perfect for gift giving!

The Andrew Collins Trio is an exciting new "newgrass" (folk / bluegrass) group headed by prolific performer and master of the mandolin, Andrew Collins. With innumerable Juno award nominations, along with a win just last week of Instrumental Group of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, this is one act you won't want to miss.

Blues is always a hit with our audience, so this summer we are thrilled to welcome an authentic Canadian blues group to the Island. Blackburn is literally a band of brothers. With a long family blues tradition, steeped in history dating back to the Underground Railroad, the Blackburn Brothers are fresh off a 2016 Juno nomination for Blues Album of the Year. This is a fun, funky, soul rich act that any blues lover will enjoy.

Emilie-Claire Barlow makes her long-overdue return to the Old Town Hall Concert Series in 2017! When she last graced our stage eleven years ago, she was still early in her career and had one Juno nomination under her belt. Today, Emilie-Claire Barlow is one of the most accomplished and fastest-rising jazz vocalists in Canada, with six Juno nominations resulting in two wins in just the past eight years. Emilie-Claire's stunning voice has been shared around the world, and we are delighted to welcome her back this summer. This is sure to be an unforgettable evening.

These concerts take place on Aug. 2, 9 and 16, 2017, at 8 p.m., in Hilton Beach, St. Joseph Island. Season tickets (all three concerts) are $90 each, or individual concert tickets are available for $37.50 each.

For more information on these performers, along with Youtube videos, please visit our website. The Old Town Hall Concert Series is also excited to announce the launch of its new web site at oldtownhall.ca. Featuring online ordering with digital ticket delivery, you'll have your tickets emailed to you seconds after ordering. Perfect for gift giving on short notice!

Tickets are available now at oldtownhall.ca.

The concerts are held on three consecutive Wednesday evenings, beginning at 8 p.m. The venue is the Hilton Beach Community Hall. Refreshments are available. St. Joseph Island is approximately 35 minutes east of Sault Ste. Marie, accessible by a toll-free bridge.
