MUSIC - AN INVITATION TO ATTEND A PERFORMANCE

Our JS Music Educators invite parents to join us on Friday, December 9 from 8:25-9:00 am in the gym for a performance by Craig Cardiff, an Ontario-based folk singer/songwriter as he performs for our entire school community. He has worked with producers Ben Leggett (Faraway Neighbours, Ben Hermann) and Andre Wahl (Hawksley Workman, Luke Doucet). This is the team that produced Floods and Fires, the album that earned Cardiff a nomination for a 2012 Juno Award for Roots and Traditional Album of the Year: Solo and a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination as 2012 Contemporary Singer of the Year.

Craig Cardiff makes it a point to keep the relationship with his fans personal, inviting and accepting any opportunity to make his audience as much a part of the performance as he is. Over the years, he has played with, and opened for artists such as Glen Phillips, Lucy Kaplansky, Dan Bern, Natalia Zukerman, Andy Stochansky, Sarah Harmer, Kathleen Edwards, Blue Rodeo, Gordon Downie (Tragically Hip), Hawksley Workman, Sarah Slean, Skydiggers, 54-40 and many more. Parents are encouraged to join us for this exciting performance!
