ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

MARCH 7: GINA HORSWOOD

“Gina Horswood has become known as one of the most talented entertainers in Muskoka, switching seamlessly from her own music to classics and pop standards, much to the delight of the audience”- Jeff Carter, Hunters Bay Radio

APRIL 10: JAMES GRAY and HANNAH & NATHAN

James Gray: A unique finger style guitarist, with a vocal that is hauntingly beautiful, Gray, often accompanied by a rather droll, humorous stage patter, immerses himself in each and every song with a soulfulness and attack that is infectious and disarming.

Hannah & Nathan: Huntsville’s Hannah Shira Naiman with Nathan Smith (The Barrel Boys/Vinta), CFMA winners and multi-instrumentalists join forces to deliver banjo-driven roots music with airtight vocal harmonies.
