Chuck Baker & Jon Farmer in Concert

The Monday Night Music Sessions at the Downtown Bookstore have been going just great. There's a nice vibe and positive energy - the closest thing you'll get to Summerfolk over the winter months.

There's a full description of the weekly sessions - Concert Connections link under Folk Society on this homepage.

Speaking of which, we've just added http://www.georgianbayfolk.org/ as a web address that will take you to this page. So summerfolk.org or georgianbayfolk.org, you're here.

February 1st, Chuck Baker and Jon Farmer perform for Concert Night.

Chuck comes from Stayner and created a sensation at Knox Acoustic Cafe when it was running. Jim Ansell, Owen Sound's biggest music fan, has been bugging me for years to bring Chuck back to town so I'm thrilled that he accepted the invitation to play the Bookstore. Chuck writes great tunes, plays a fine guitar.

Chuck Baker's unique sound actively dissolves the traditional boundaries between blues, rock, jazz and even funk. He splendidly fractures the iconic mold of folk, delivering a complex blend of keen riffs, exciting composition, erudite songwriting and an arrestingly percussive style of guitar that punctuates brilliantly. - Nancy Falconer On the Bay Magazine

Chuck Baker is like The Undesirables in one person. - Jennifer Metcalfe LU Radio Thunder Bay

Jon Farmer is a real Summerfolk fan. He's volunteered at the Festival for many years and was a youth performer at the 2009 show. His enthusiasm and good musical taste makes him one of personal favourites.

His Banana Bread song is a good one!

So come on out to the Downtown Bookstore on Monday, February 1st and catch two great performers. That's at 945 2nd Avenue East. Show starts at 7:30.

And check out any of the musical happenings, every Monday night until May long weekend.
