@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. 🎸

In this energetic and interactive performance with awe inspiring harmonica virtuoso Mike Stevens, discover that music is inside and around us all the time. It is not just those squiggly lines on a piece of paper. Mike turns feelings into sounds to spontaneously create music. In this performance, he uses a looper to create musical stories with suggestions from the audience. Most kids and adults leave the show with a real belief that they can play music that reflects what they actually feel.

Mike Stevens is not only an outstanding musician, he is also the founder of ArtsCan Circle, an organization dedicated to encouraging children and youth in remote northern communities to self express through music and art. Mike Stevens has taken to the stage around the World, from the Grand Ole Opry to his TED Talks. His musical abilities are as inspiring as his public speaking.

To be in a room with Mike is an experience that can be felt in the heart.

The Haliburton Highlands Dogsled Derby is IFSS world cup sanctioned and is located at the Pinestone Resort in beautiful Haliburton, Ontario, Canada. We proudly offer mushers a series of well-groomed trails for both dogsled racing and skijoring that wind through the challenging and scenic Highlands. While we like to think of this derby as a world class event, we still maintain the friendliness and small town charm this area is known for.

Various fun activities and entertainment planned throughout the weekend. You can even get “up close and personal” with the athletes!

From spectator to seasoned competitor, we welcome you to this exciting event!

Jan 17, 2020 at 4 PM – Jan 19, 2020 at 2 PM
