Well hello there friends! It’s been quite a busy spring for us, even though we haven’t been playing out as much. We sure miss you though, and we really hope you’ll come and see us on April 20th – we’re playing the Friday Night Live series at the London Brewing Co-op in London’s flourishing Old East brewing district.

The Goodah Food Truck will be on site, there’s awesome locally brewed beer on tap, and stacks of board games – come out and start your weekend right with The Heartaches! Music runs from 6-9pm and the address is 521 Burbrook Place.  We can’t wait to see you.

AND keep your calendars clear for the afternoon of Sunday, May 27th! We’re playing a very special show at The Richmond Tavern with the incredible band Over The Moon from Southern Alberta! They play a beautiful mix of swing and country music and write beautiful songs. It’s their first time in London and we hope that you’ll make them welcome. You can hear some of their music here.

Finally, this coming weekend is the Jack Richardson London Music Awards, where we’re nominated in the Folk / Roots category! Wish us luck and if you’d like, come on out to the show, this Sunday at 7pm at the London Music Hall.  This Saturday our own Amanda Lynn will be hosting a Women In Music panel  at the SoundCheck For Success music seminars in the London Music Hall.  Joining her are Nashville based music producer Karen Kosowski, and music scholars Norma Coates and Betty Ann Younker.

 

Hello friends, here’s a short message thanking you for coming out to The Harvest Table. It was a beautiful night and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves: instrument switching, unplugged acoustic performances, yodeling and good times – we had them all! Thanks to our friend Donna for the photos of the night. Martin & I can’t wait to go back with our kids in summer at pick blueberries (The Harvest Table is a part of Arrowwood blueberry farm).

If you voted for us at the Jack Richardson London Music Awards THANKS! We’re grateful for all support for local musicians.  Amanda Lynn is hosting a panel on women in music at the SoundCheck For Success on Saturday April 14th, and the awards ceremony is April 15th at the London Music Hall!  We’ll let you know how it turns out.

 

Hello friends! We’re excited to tell you about how you can come and see us in Melborne Friday, March 23rd at The Harvest Table! But first we have to say, WOW! We’re thrilled to tell you we’ve been nominated for a Jack Richardson London Music Award, in the FOLK / ROOTS category.  We’d be grateful if you’d give us your support – voting is super  easy, at academy.jrlma.ca/vote-now.

Next week, though, we’d LOVE to see you at The Harvest Table – it’s a beautiful room on The Arrowwood Farm in Melbourne. We’re playing two sets of music in an intimate setting, with delicious, farm-fresh food on offer. You can even bring home some frozen blueberries they grew themselves last summer!  Tickets are $20 at this link.  If you’d like to join us for dinner before the show, please call the farm – there are a limited number of tickets available for a very special ‘dinner with the artists!’  We’re really fun and love to chat, so please consider joining us!  You can call the farm at (519) 289-0389 or email info@arrowwoodfarmontario.com.  

We hope your spring is ready to get sprung, ours sure is!

The Heartaches

Happy mid-January! We hope that you’re all finding ways to stay warm in one of the coldest winters we’ve seen in a long time, in Southwest Ontario.  The full Heartaches will be back at the St. Regis Tavern this month, Jan. 26th, with Northland Rail Service. This week, there’s something else happening.

We want to let you know about a show that will heat you up, happening this Thursday night, at the Soho Bar & Grill (formerly the Victoria Tavern).  Sheesham, Lotus & Son have been described as “The Mississippi Sheiks meet Dr. Seuss, as curated by H.G. Wells.”  That’s about the best way we can think of to describe them. Their music uses tuba, fiddle, banjo and homemade amplification devices like the Contrabass Harmoni-phonium. Their show is fun, dynamic and involves many hi-jinx and quite a few antics.

Amanda Lynn is opening the night at 7:30pm with a short set. Tickets cost $10 – email Amanda Lynn for yours at sweetappalachia@gmail.com, or get them at the door while they last.  More information about the show here, and information about Sheesham, Lotus & Son here.

You can see what all the fuss is about in their video:
