🌟ARTIST SPOTLIGHT🌟
Every Friday leading up to the Merrickville Festival of the Arts, we will be featuring one of the amazing performers taking the stage. This week's spotlight is Keith Glass Band, who will be headlining the festival on Sunday, July 12th!
The sound of Keith Glass Band can best be described as rock and roll - with all that term encompasses: R&B, country, folk, blues, rock - all fused into Keith’s original songs. Keith Glass is a founding member, guitarist and songwriter with Prairie Oyster, a group which enjoyed a very long and successful career and critical acclaim, including multiple Juno and CCMA awards. In his post-Oyster life Keith has kept busy with family, building a studio, writing songs, making a couple of solo records, being Lynn Miles’ sideman, producing and playing/singing on dozens of recordings, and playing a few solo shows close to his home outside Ottawa. At the heart of Keith’s music, and the band’s sound, is deep rootsy rock and roll - with all the influences that define that genre - R&B, country, folk, blues, swing - with their own unique twist.
We are so excited for Keith Glass Band to close the Festival on Sunday afternoon. Swipe to see the full entertainment schedule and start making your plans. Pack a picnic, bring a lawn chair, and make a day of it.
