One of the most highly-acclaimed folk performers Canada has to offer is coming to play for you! James Keelaghan has ten albums, a Juno award, Canadian Folk Music Awards, and a career that now spans almost four decades. He has created a repertoire of incalculable importance – a unique body of work, either inspired by or drawn from the folk tradition. Dave Marsh, the eminent Rolling Stone critic, simply described Keelaghan as “Canada’s finest songwriter.”
Contemporary folk songs, at their very best, offer an insight into the hardships, attitudes, and resolve of characters and events that shape our day-to-day lives. You can dress these songs up in inspired arrangements and intricate instrumentation but, at their very essence, the archetypal folk song is all about stories. Stories and people. Something such compelling songwriters as Eric Bogle, Si Kahn, Ewan MacColl, and Stan Rogers … all understood and mined so effectively.
James Keelaghan burrows into that same rich seam with equal ability and comparable conviction.
Lantern is excited to present James in a spacious and comfortable venue - the Kelowna Unitarian hall right downtown.
