You gotta hear these guys - great music! They are currently doing a European Tour (May/June) - and we are so pleased to have them play the Gallery Bistro on their return! Bound to be a super time! Don't miss out....

Emerging from a punk rock background and a blues string band ..... The Burying Ground trades in authentically delivered, rustic old-timey country-blues, and swinging, jazz-flecked folk music. In all honesty, beyond this you need little in the way of descriptors from me, as a look at the influences listed on the band’s website presents a rounded summation of what The Burying Ground is all about:  Blind Blake, Bessie Smith, the Reverend Gary Davis, Memphis Minnie, Big Bill Broonzy and Jimmie Rodgers are all cited, and other unlisted artists – such as Louis Armstrong – spring to mind ....  David Morrison

From Nova Scotia - back again this summer - sure to be a full house (again) 
so get your tickets today to avoid disappointment. 

This will be a world class evening. With the talent of these two - the evening will be amazingly diverse - and fun - so grab your tickets fast! Doors open at 6:30pm, Dinner at 7pm, concert at 8pm.

Josué is a native Cuban - currently living in Mexico - who has studied various forms of music - and can switch from flamenco to jazz to folk in a heartbeat.  Paulina - a Mexican - has a voice that is fabulous and versatile - and whether singing Fado music (Portuguese soul), Mexican folk songs or southern blues - she is equally comfortable and natural.
Together - these two have just compiled a new CD entitled "Ya Dios Dirá" - literally translated "God will say" or how we might say "Time Will Tell". This album will be presented for the first time on this Western Canadian Tour - so be one of the first to enjoy it!

Meanwhile check out Paulina's Fado rendition here - called Lagrima (with Josue on guitar)

One of Josué's most admired musicians was Spanish virtuoso guitarist, Paco de Lucía whom he met. Check out this link to hear Josue playing one of Paco de Lucia's compositions La Barrosa http://www.josuetacoronte.com/paco-de-lucia.html

Josue performed at the Zihuatanejo International Guitarfest (Mexico) in 2014 and again this year in March 2018. Through that fest - he met Cousin Harley aka Paul Pigat - mr rockabilly himself - and from that connection - who KNOWS what songs are brewing and what fusion tunes will escape from Josue's guitar.  I am on the edge of my seat!

Get your tickets while you can....

About Piper Hayes Folk Duo:

"With a homespun sound and country charm, singer-songwriter Piper Hayes's new album Piper and Carson will make listeners think about the world around them as they singalong to the folksy tracks."
– Flamborough Review (Julia Lovett, Dec 2017)

"We couldn't keep her latest release, Goodbye Mister Nice Guy off our charts."
– 93.3 CFMU (Rachel Connell, March 2017)

"The harmonies in tandem with Carson Ritcey-Thorpe were spot on and Hayes went in search of the vulnerability and the hope in the songs, burnishing them to a shine via her forceful vocals and from the gut lyrics."
– Features Music (Lenny Stoute, Cashbox Canada)

The last Sunday of the month is usually our Soup Making time -
from 5:30pm - 8:30pm
You can either book a full event (14 or 15 people) or join a
mixed group and meet new friends. The group is supplied with
all the ingredients, directions and - with the help of a guest chef - have fun making 3 big pots of hearty soup. Most of this is ladelled into containers, labelled (and delivered (by organizers) to Joy's Place - a safe house for women and their children in the Tri-cities.
After the soup is packaged - then the party changes gears - and its time for the group to
enjoy some of their soup, delicious salad and some wine - while relaxing and socializing.
