Allison Lupton’s original songs fit so perfectly into the cannon of Canadian folk music that they could easily be mistaken for traditional numbers. Lupton brings to life the best of the contemporary folk music scene in Ontario, while incorporating the Celtic influences that have been such an important part of the Canadian immigrant story. Allison will be joined for this concert by Canadian and US National fiddle champion and multi-instrumentalist Shane Cook and guitarist and Canadian Open Step Dance Champion Kyle Waymouth.
Liz Simmons is familiar to Cape Ann audiences as a founder of the popular ensembles Annalivia and Low Lily. 2021 saw the release of “Poets”, Simmons’ first solo album in fifteen years, which has been lauded as “an ageless album” (Irish Music Magazine), and Liz will perform solo at this concert.
The performance will take place at 7:30pm in the handicap-accessible Fellowship Hall of the First Congregational Church of Rockport, 12 School St. Advance tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for those age 18 and under. Visit oldslooppresents.org, John Tarr Store in Rockport, or The Bookstore of Gloucester. The suggested contribution at the door is $25 for adults, $5 for those age 18 and under, and $50 for families.
