@Rhubarb is having me back every Thursday evening this Winter from 6 – 8pm. Get those veggie burgers ready!
I’ll be playing mostly Jazz & Blues standards with a peppering of Pop & Soul EVERY WEEK from November onwards.
I arrive a bit early (around 5pm) to hang if anyone wants to join me for dinner before hand and chat about music and how great the Boshkung Brewing Co. beer is tasting.
First night is on NOVEMBER 14th. I hope to see you there. 🎸

Mary Jane Mosquito has no wings. What she really wants to do is sing her songs, share her language, and make friends. But how will she fit in without wings? As Mary Jane tells her tale through song and story, Tomson Highway has woven in Cree words and phrases that are taught to the audience in playful interaction. Told with puppetry and fancyful costumes, this is a delightfully engaging piece for younger audiences.
