Joe H Henry
2024-03-30 21:00 - 23:00 | Heritage Barn
With a voice as powerful as a wayward freight train, singer-songwriter Joe H Henry bellows the flames of gritty roots with a whole lot of soul.
The son of award-winning Canadian country musician Harvey Henry, Joe was born to sing. Gifted with a one-of-a-kind voice and a love for story telling through song, drawing from his musical roots and Metis heritage of the Red River Valley.
Joe’s younger years were spent riding freight trains from town to town with nothing but a faithful dog and a guitar, collecting life
lessons and harnessing the flame of inspiration that was often masked in struggle. Eventually settling down to raise a family, Joe moved to a homestead on North Mountain, Nova Scotia with his wife and five children in 2020.
With the release of his debut EP, Keep the Fire Burning, (Summer 2023) Joe is ready to wholeheartedly share his talents with the world.

Matt The Music Man
2024-03-12 18:00 - 19:00 | Old Orchard Inn
Matt the Music Man (Matthew McFarlane) is a multi-award winning lad with a pirate hat and a platypus for a sidekick! In 2023 he won the ECMA for Children’s Entertainer of the Year! Cool beans! If you see him, he’ll have your whole family singing, clapping, laughing and rocking out. It’s a party!
Matt also promotes self-confidence for kids. Growing up, Matt was very shy and was bullied at school. He spent much of his time having dreams about becoming a professional musician but his shyness and lack of self-confidence were too overwhelming. Today, Matt draws on these childhood experiences to inspire kids with his message of becoming self-confident through super fun music!
After about 20 years of performing, Matt was inspired to become a children’s musician upon the arrival of his first child. He has released three diverse all-original albums titled “The Best at Being You” (2022), “Everyday Superheroes” (2017), and “Songs For Kids Age 1 to 101” (2014) as well as an EP, “Family Fun” (2018).
Many exciting shows have been performed across the Canadian Maritimes and beyond. Matt plays Guitars, ukulele, harmonica & kazoo, and uses fun props such as costumes and puppets to create a fun, interactive and educational experience. Through music, humour and stories, Matt teaches children about the importance of self-confidence and respect. It all comes together into a highly entertaining educational show for children and families!
Many songs have been hits with children and parents such as “Everyday Superheroes”, “Dinosaur In the Candy Store” and “Pirates from Yarmouth”. Matt makes a point to not downplay his music lyrically or musically too much for children because he understands how smart children are and he wants older audiences to be entertained as well. The smiles, laughs and voices singing along (even the parents!) are rewards that drive Matt as he continues his lifelong dream of performing music.

Tickets $6 including tax.

Andre Pettipas and The Giants - "Under Control" Album Release Tour
2023-10-20 20:00 - 23:00 | Orchard Hall
Recorded in the summer of 2022 at The Tragically Hip’s studio, The Bathouse and Shoebox Studios, Under Control was made possible with the help of producer Brian Moncarz. The 13-track album highlights important matters such as alcohol dependency, love, loss and taking accountability as displayed in new tracks: Borrowing Happiness, Obstacles and Monumental Health.

“Inspiring growth through perseverance, ‘Under Control’ ebbs and flows bending the rock/pop influences from generations before us combined with our personal flair to create a product that is uniquely ours. We didn’t shy away from the messages, topics and production throughout the album. We walk a thin line between a showboat and a shipwreck and we wanted that portrayed on the record. This album is straight from the heart. It’s about reflection; looking in the mirror, digging deep and telling the stories about some of the most influential ups and downs of the last decade,” said Andre Pettipas.

“We didn’t want to put any restrictions on the album sonically or contextually as we were aiming to show vulnerability throughout. Getting to record the album at The Bathouse was an absolute dream. The vibe in the house was nothing short of extraordinary and we are grateful for the opportunity. We’re excited for people to get a deeper look into what we have to offer as a group with this release. It’s about getting your life ‘Under Control’ and finding the balance that works for you so that you’re able to pursue what makes you tick,” continued Andre Pettipas.

The band plan to build Under Control on the success of their previously released album, No Fools No Fun, and are already on the right track with “Sin City,” which recently gained exposure from being featured during game one of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals.

Also included on the album is the band’s latest single, “Definition Of A Dweeb”. The fun and energetic track is an anthem for adolescents and outcasts and is all about navigating growing pains.
