WEDNESDAY, JULY 13 LINEUP
5: 15 PM – RORY TAILLON
Ottawa-based singer/songwriter Rory Taillon is a “road warrior,” touring across the country and back again. He has the soul of the East coast but the sound of the West in his songs with a voice to match the majesty of The Rockies.
Rory Taillon is not just an entertainer he is a performer. It’s just that simple, when Rory Taillon sings everything stops and when its starts again it’s all changed. It’s just that simple, like folk.
7:15 PM – GERRI TRIMBLE
Jazz vocalist Gerri Trimble is a regular performer at venues in Ottawa and beyond, delivering ear-catching tunes with a personal bent. With a voice that hints at blues and country, Gerri brings a deep love for the art of singing to her performances, along with her sense of humour, adventure, and a “connoisseur’s knack for picking fine tunes” (Ottawa Citizen). Expect a playful selection of jazz songs, swing, blues, ballads and more.
