Two great folk songwriters grace our stage for a night of truly memorable music.

A musican with a heartfelt appreciation for the working people ground beneath the wheels of corporate and governmental machinery, Jez Lowe fills his songs with fierce heart and acerbic humor as unflinching and dark as the milltowns of his native Northumbria, in northeast England. He has the gift of bringing his characters and scenes to life with luminous spareness and emotional directness. Accompanying himself on guitar, cittern, dulcimer, and harmonica, Jez features songs including gems from his recent album, Doolally, recorded with his band the Bad Pennies.

James Keelaghan develops an intimate rapport with audiences through his stories and humor, and then leaves them spellbound with original songs that mine the past for inspiration, relating extraordinary historical events through the eyes of ordinary people. The winner of a Juno award (the Canadian Grammy), James has grown from a popular coffeehouse act in his native Calgary to a festival and concert hall favorite, displaying a genius for finding his way deep inside big stories, and supporting them with sure, clear melodies and a smooth baritone voice. James' latest solo release is Then Again.
