An invitation
I did an afternoon “afternoon with” for the Writer’s Federation last summer. I was invited by a young Toronto (by way of Nova Scotia) songwriter, Alex Hickey. Lovely gal, and she can really play, sing and whistle.
It went well, and we’ve been invited to do more of a concert type performance, so here is the invitation that the organizers sent along:
Last August, we hosted a house concert with two fabulous singer/songwriters: Susan Crowe and Alex Hickey. It stood out as one of the highlights of our summer. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we’ve invited Susan and Alex to come back and perform for us again. Since we last saw them, it’s been a big year for both of these talented women: Susan was pronounced 2009′s Best Songwriter by the Canadian Folk Music Awards and Alex has been in the studio recording her second cd, The Day the Money Run Out. (Please see the artists’ biographies below for more details.)
Who: *you* are invited!
When: Saturday, September 11, 2010 – 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Where: Cynthia and Les’ lovely home in Newburne, NS (about 15 minutes from the Blockhouse 4-way stop; we’ll send you a map and directions when you RSVP)
Why: because enjoying original, fully-alive music in the company of warm-hearted, friendly people is a joyful night out!

Media Info
Often described as a "writer's writer", Susan Crowe is one of Canada's most respected singer songwriters in the folk genre. At once complex, challenging and accessible, Susan's intelligent and moving songs have captivated audiences and reviewers from coast to coast, continent to continent. She possesses, in the words of Britain's Folk Roots magazine, "that rare ability of crafting a lyric that bears scrutiny on its own terms." That rare ability has earned her two Juno nominations, and nominations from both the West Coast and East Coast Music Awards.
