Joan Shelley is a songwriter and singer who draws inspiration from traditional and traditionally-minded performers from her native Kentucky, as well as those from Ireland, Scotland, and England, but she’s not a folksinger. Her disposition aligns more closely with that of, say, Roger Miller, Dolly Parton, or Tom T. Hall, who once explained—simply, succinctly, in a song—“I Witness Life.” Her 7th album Real Warmth will be released in September. It was recorded in Toronto with producer Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station), and the 13-tracks feature many guests from the city's fertile music scene.
Will Lawrence is a NY-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He works as a support player in The Felice Brothers, Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band, John Early and the Lemon Squares, and many more. His fifth studio album, “Rooftops in the Centerfold," is out September 19, 2025 on Triangle House / Sophomore Lounge Records.
Doors are at 7pm and music will start at 730pm. This show is all ages and seating is limited and also first come first served.
Thanks to a grant from TD Charitable Foundation, this show has an Access For All option which lets you name your price (you can't buy multiples of this option at the same time, so to buy more than one ticket, it is necessary to do each additional ticket in a different transaction).
