‘Open Sky Live’ – Live at the Arts Centre – featuring Harry Lee Follon
July 10 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT
Join us for Harry Lee Follon live on the MacDonald Pavilion Stage at the Arts Centre! This performance is presented in partnership with Wrighthaven Homes.
You won’t want to miss the classic sound and memorable melodies of Harry Lee Follon on the stage! And who doesn’t love a fiddle and pedal steel!?
Follon’s music is inspired by the likes of John Prine and Townes Van Zandt, although he says that he’s also inspired by younger artists working in that tradition such as Jeffery Martin and Joe Pug, as well as fellow Canadians Spencer Burton and Zachary Lucky.
The ‘Open Sky’ series is presented in partnership with our friends at Tribute Homes, Sorbara Group of Companies and Storybrook Homes.
FOOD TRUCK ON SITE FOR THIS EVENT! Enjoy tacos from the delicious Milagro Food Truck!
About the Artist
With his thick grey beard and ubiquitous wide-brimmed hat, Harry Lee Follon looks like a man transplanted from a previous century. But that timeless image is the ideal reflection of his music—pure, honest songs that are as emotionally resonant in 2024 as they would have been in 1924. His new album ‘Uncle’s Lament’ was just released in June! “The overall feeling while listening to Uncle’s Lament is something close to sitting in a front parlour enjoying good friends playing music together” – Canadian Beats
✨ Bonus: Our camper bar will be open at each event, serving up refreshing drinks to keep the good vibes flowing! 🍺
See you under the open sky!
