With the help of our friends from the Down Town Business Commission we were able to invite five local musicans into our space and host a FREE live music event for the community.

It was a real treat to have the musical stylings of five different acts all together in one afternoon!
We started off the event with Chris Henshaw, a singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist from Cole Harbour, NS.
"Chris’ songs are a documentation of his life as a young person struggling to find a place in the world. The songs represent his life, people he’s known, and the people he has been. The songs depict feelings of anguish and rejoice that one has as they carry out their life’s journey. They can be drenched with sorrow, or showered with elation. Though, no matter the tone of the song, each is delivered genuinely. There is always a sense that Chris is baring his soul to the listener."

Chloe Eden came out next in our line up - orginally Izra Fitch was scheduled to be with us but a pesky flu had her bed bound... bitter sweet, as she was the one who reccomended Chloe Eden and oh boy Chloe did not dissapoint!

| Chloe sang a collection of both original songs and covers |
Chloe, a 15 year old from Fall River, may be young but sung with the soul of a person who has lived well beyond her years!
Her music was both angelic and moving... we cant wait to see what other incredible things Chloe gets up to her in music career!
There was always a crowd... some folks staying all day to enjoy the live music!
Leanne Hoffman took the stage third in our musical afternoon

Leanne captured the audience with her beautiful lyrics, witty stage-banter and even offered up a Cher sing-a-long!
Brad Conrad followed after and brought the blues with him!
