Intimate Spaces Concert Series Presents:
Nigel Wearne ft. The Sean Patrick Trio
Nigel Wearne is an Australian folk/country singer-songwriter, luthier, poet and gleaner. Equipped with personally handcrafted instruments, his music melds finger-style guitar, clawhammer banjo, folk and honest storytelling.
From stories of social justice and observation to emotional reflection and historical tales, Nigel draws inspiration from everyday people from all walks of life. Some songs are autobiographical and personal, but many are other people’s stories and an amalgamation of truth, observation, personal experience and fiction.
For Nigel, music is a candid, human and important messenger for stories and moments in time.
The Sean Patrick Trio combines elements of bluegrass, progressive old-time, and jazz.
Featuring Sean Patrick on Banjo, Jennie Davis on double bass, and Darrin Davis on saxophone, they are sure to have you out of your seat and dancing away those winter blues.

A DAY IN THE LIFE
In Conversation With Leaders & Legends
 |
Ian Cusson, of Métis and French Canadian heritage, grew up in Midland studying piano, voice, music history, and composition with local teachers. Today he is the Composer in Residence with the National Arts Centre in Ottawa and, at the age of only 37, is about to take up a position as Composer in Residence for the Canadian Opera Company.
In the next edition of A Day in the Life, Ian will sit down with host Fred Hacker to discuss the influences, inspirations and circumstances that led to his rapid ascent in the music world. And, in a novel twist, the conversation will include Ian providing illustrations at the keyboard.
