Special Guest: Matt Martin
No stranger to the stage, or the pulpit, Rev. Matthew Martin has been an Anglican priest for ten years and has been impersonating Elvis since before he was six. A true performer, Martin was the headliner in the Drayton Entertainment production of Blue Suede Shoes in 2012, and was named the Grand Champion, of the non-professional category in 2010 for his tribute of the King of Rock and Roll in Collingwood, Ontario.
Matt finds his true passion working as the Anglican Priest and Chaplain at Huron University College. Martin’s voice always captivates – whether he is singing a century-old religious hymn, a touching Christmas carol or an upbeat rock song, you can clearly see his soul in every performance.
Matt is also the former spiritual director at Camp Wendake, but remains an avid supporter of the program. He has decided to dedicate his talent in support of Camp Wendake. All proceeds from this evening go to the camp.
Special Guest: The Crooners: Rick Kish & Connor Boa
2024 Forest City London Music Award (FCLMA) recipients, Rick and Connor have worked together as a duo since 2013. They’ve toured the province of Ontario – Huron Country Playhouse, Drayton Festival Theatre, Port Stanley Festival Theatre, Blyth Festival Theatre, to name a few, entertaining audiences with their unique chemistry and great interpretations of so much of the music made famous by Crooners from Sinatra to Bublé. They are thrilled to be hosting this very important event for an incredible organization!
