Ron Sexsmith to headline BarrieFolk: Roots Music Festival
Tickets are now available for the third annual BarrieFolk: Roots MusicFestival
to be held on Saturday, November 3. This one-day event will take place
at Georgian College, Barrie Campus.
Internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter Ron Sexsmith will headline
this year's BarrieFolk: Roots Music Festival.
Sexsmith maps the human heart with surgical skill and great compassion.
He offers us hard-earned pieces of wisdom, all set to strong yet gentle
melodies and sung unaffectedly, with emotional eloquence and genuine soul.
These are his creative signatures, and they have earned the Toronto-based
singer/songwriter immense respect from his peers, critics, and a devoted
international audience.
Other performers at this year's festival are JP Cormier – one the
East Coast's talented treasures, Juno Award winners Lynn Miles and Jenny
Whiteley, Chic Gamine (formerly Madrigaia), Mark Reeves, Tucker Finn,
Tim Harrison, Kirsten Jones, Michael Laderoute, Treasa Levasseur, Jason
Redman, Darcy Lynne Ward, Dale Willis, and Brock Zeman. Two young, local
musicians Tyler Firestone and Kendal Thompson will be featured in a special
youth showcase.
Tickets can be purchased for $32; seniors (60+) and children under 12
can purchase tickets for a reduced rate of $20. Tickets will be $40 if
purchased at the door the day of the festival. Tickets can also be purchased
online by visiting www.gryphontheatre.com (please note there is a $2 surcharge).
Tickets can be purchased from the Gryphon Theatre box office that is
located at Georgian College, Barrie Campus (first floor, Administrative
Centre). Call (705) 728-4613 to purchase with your credit card.
