Prince Edward Island bound

MARCH 24

Step into the nostalgic glow of a 1960s coffeehouse as Shane Pendergast hosts the Jack Pine Folk Club. This intimate evening of music, poetry, and revelry is a must-see celebration of East Coast culture for folk music fans.

Shane sets the tone with a handful of original songs, followed by rising Cape Breton folksinger Dane Pedersen. Next, acclaimed Island poet Richard Lemm joins the experience with a reading. Shannon Quinn, ECMA award-winning fiddler and vocalist, brings the evening to a close with a spellbinding set.
