"Some artists seem to explode onto the roots scene overnight, headlining festivals, selling-out folk clubs, winning awards and making it onto everybody’s favourites list – only to seemingly fall out of favour a few years later. A few sustain super stardom for decades.And then there are the stalwart members of the roots community – the troubadours that headline the coffee houses and folk clubs; the ones you can always count on for a great night of entertainment; the ones who never seem to land the proverbial “folk hit” but spend years quietly honing their craft and earning snippets of acclaim until one day, you put on their latest record and think, “Holy shit! Was he always this good?!”

Count Ben Sures among the latter."

We first hosted Ben near to 15 years ago now, and it's long overdue for us to get to have him back, and we hope you'll be able to join us when we do. Ben's newest release is receiving rave reviews. "From the terrific opening American Shantytown - “If there’s trouble in America then there’s trouble everywhere” - 12 originals and one Mose Allison tune follow and not a runt in the litter. The Boy Who Walked Backwards Through the Snow is a heartbreaking retelling of some dark Canadiana." (Les Semeniuk, Penguin Eggs)

Please bring what you'd like to drink.

We'll have some snacks on hand,

but if you'd like to bring something for the table,

that would be great! Please let us know.

There will also be CDs available for purchase.

As always, there is just one way to reserve a spot,

and that's by contacting us directly at

westborohouseconcerts@gmail.com

or calling 613-323-1782

Hope to see you here!

* Make note that this is a Friday. It is unusual for us to host a concert on a Friday night.
