Award for Website

Today, the Summerfolk website - summerfolk.org, received an award for 'Best Marketing - Web' at the Grey-Bruce Regional Tourism Conference.
Quite an honour!
Thanks go to our web guy Paul Murphy for all his ideas and ways he makes the site look good and Ryan Wiseman for his excellent video contributions.
Both these gentlemen are a pleasure to work with and we look forward to keeping Summerfolk and 'off-season' programming information coming here to summerfolk.org.

Summerfolk Reprise Concerts

The Georgian Bay Folk Society proudly presents two hit acts from the 2009 Summerfolk Music & Crafts Festival - Coco Love Alcorn and Jacob Moon.

Alcorn on Friday, October 30th and Moon, Friday November 30th. Both concerts take place at Knox United Church, 890 Fourth Avenue East in Owen Sound. Doors open at 7:30 pm with shows at 8:00.

Nova Scotia born Alcorn has numerous career highlights: touring and recording regularly with Canadian icons 54-40; joining Ani Difranco on a US tour; performing at Lilith Fair; and guesting on nearly 50 albums including recordings by Burton Cummings, Chantal Kreviazuk, Jesse Cook, Kinnie Starr and Loudon Wainwright III.

As a songwriter & vocalist, she embraces her diverse musical influences - jazz, pop, R&B and folk, and weaves them seamlessly into her own distinctive sound. We loved her at Summerfolk. Simply put - we want more!

Make it a night out enjoying a meal at Jazzmyn's or Rocky Raccoon's prior to the show. Check out the 'Coco Love Specials'. After the show, join in the 'Meet & Greet with Coco Love' at Rocky Raccoon's or catch the sounds of Will Ross at Jazzmyn's.

Jacob Moon's passionate vocals and inspired lyrics are given flight by Moon's total command of the guitar. Along with his stunning Summerfolk performances, Jacob won over a sold-out house at the Massie Hall.
