🌲 EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN 🌲 As we look back on the last year, we can’t help but feel incredibly lucky to share all the art and music that Niagara has to offer. It’s been an absolute joy to present shows in Niagara that shine the spotlight on the talented singer-songwriters we have in our community. Each performance has been a testament to the diverse range of voices and stories that thrive here at home. Watching these artists pour their heart and soul into their music has been an inspiring experience. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support and celebrate these amazing singer-songwriters, and we look forward to continuing this journey of musical discovery and appreciation in the years to come. Come enjoy a night of music at Blackbeard’s Barbershop in downtown St. Catharines as we celebrate over 1 year of performances presented by Cedar & Spruce featuring: 🪕The Garden City String Band (traditional folk music that you can play and sing along to) 🎸Nash Danger Crowther (Niagara solo funk) 🍂Joe Lapinski (Homegrown folk) 💈Gentlemen Quarterly (Barbershop Quartet) Friday, January 3 $10 // PWYC Doors @ 7:00pm
