Bring your lawn chair or picnic blanket and join us for some delicious cider and a fun outdoor concert! Tickets will be $20 cash and can be purchased at the entrance on the day of the concert.
A little bit about the band:
Mike McKenna is one of Canada’s top blues and rock guitarists. He’s been wowing crowds for more than 50 years with such seminal bands as McKenna Mendelson Mainline, Luke & The Apostles, Downchild, and the Ugly Ducklings. His unique style earned him induction into the Canada South Blues Society Hall of Fame.
Richard Henderson is one of the few musicians to feature the acoustic lap steel guitar. His characteristic edgy style is based on traditions of blues, country and rockabilly— and the results are compelling. Richard has been named Instrumentalist of the Year by Durham Region Music Society and First Runner Up in Toronto Blues Society’s Talent Search.
Dave Breckels has been playing drums since the age of 14. At 17 he began touring North America throughout the 70s and 80s with top Canadian recording acts including Shooter, Brutus, and Justin Paige. Dave is a two-time Juno nominee and Gold record recipient.
