Folk/roots duo Gathering Sparks and Canadian songsmith James Gordon join forces to raise money for Chalmers Community Services Centre (CCSC). CCSC supports those who are experiencing food insecurity in our community with respect and dignity.
GATHERING SPARKS is the graceful collision of Eve Goldberg and Jane Lewis—musical friends who bonded over finely tuned harmonies and the craft of songwriting. Their inclusive approach embraces folk, pop, blues and gospel influences tastefully played on acoustic guitar, piano, accordion, and ukulele. They were nominated for a 2014 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year, and won the 2019 Folk Music Ontario "Songs From the Heart” award. You will come to listen, and walk away singing!
JAMES GORDON has been there. He’s done that. He has had a remarkably diverse and resilient career in the Canadian cultural sector. As a solo singer-songwriter and with the ground-breaking trio Tamarack, he’s recorded 42 albums and toured relentlessly around the world. He’s written for symphony orchestras, musical theatre and dance works, scored films, and for more than ten years was heard on CBC radio as songwriter-in-residence for the ’Basic Black’ and ‘Ontario Morning’ programs. Between tours, James is a record producer, playwright, community activist, theatre director and he was a Guelph City Councillor for eight years.
