Lunch in the Square with Jemma & the Good Thing

Cortes Island-based Jemma Hicken weaves together tender lyrics, funny storytelling, and catchy sing-a-longs to create a feel-good folk show, drawing on the humour and sentimentality of John Prine and Dan Reeder, the innocence of Paul Simon and Ingrid Michaelson, and the fire of Ani DiFranco. The Good Thing is often other musicians, or sometimes it’s just Jemma’s tenor guitar. The common denominator is always Jemma and her songs. Bring your lunch down and enjoy free performances every Tuesday at noon sponsored by Coastal Community.
