The Trellis - fine food and music
We’re excited to announce that the folks at the
Trellis Cafe in Hubbards will be pushing back the tables for a swing dance with none other than little ol’ us providing the music. The big event is happening on Saturday Nov. 19, with the music running from 8:00 in the evening until 10:00. To make things even MORE exciting, we’ll be featuring a new vocalist, the lovely and awesomely talented Cynthia Myers, who many folks know as the swing diva from the great combo
Jazzette. And of course, besides the regular gang on stringed instruments – Ben, Vincent, Andy and Andrew – we’ll also be featuring our good buddy Mr. Dapper Dan himself,
John Malmström (aka “Smilin’ Jack”) on the licorice stick. We’re expecting a good crowd, so be sure to call the Trellis at (902) 857-1188 for reservations. There’ll be a $10.00 cover (a bargain!). Lace up your dancin’ shoes and come on down (or just enjoy a fine dinner and listen if you’re so inclined).
Au revoir á une tres belle chanteuse…

We'll miss you, Kirsten!
We are sad to announce that the chanteuse who has delighted our audiences (and won our hearts) for over a year now is moving on. Kirsten McDonald has moved to Hamilton ON to complete her internship in music therapy. She graduated from the program at Acadia University last year, and this is the next step on her way to becoming fully accredited to practice as a music therapist in Canada. Kirsten first sang and played the accordion with us at the Halifax Jazz Festival in 2010 and has appeared at several concerts since, the last performance being our fantastic evening at Stayner’s Wharf in Halifax in September. We have been privileged to work with Kirsten, and we’ll miss her singing, playing, and delightful personality and onstage presence. We hope this is truly “’til we meet again.”
… et bienvenue á une autre

One swingin' gal!
At the same time, we are excited to announce that Cynthia Myers will be adding her vocal talents to our sound, starting on Nov 19 at the Trellis Cafe. Cynthia is just about the swingin’est lady around, with totally awesome vocal chops and a real ability to put a song across. She sings with the great jazz combo
Jazzette, as well as being a writer, actress, and director. She’s a busy lady, and we’re going to do our best to make her even busier.
