Award-winning artist coming to Rankin
1241
Juno Award-winning JP Cormier, a virtuoso guitarist, fiddler, banjo and mandolin player, singer-songwriter with deep East Coast roots, is coming to Stone Fence Theatre at the Rankin Culture and Community Centre on Wednesday, August 14 at 7:30 p.m. Opening the show for JP will be a taste of Ottawa Valley fiddling old and new, featuring trail-blazers Peter Dawson and Carol Kennedy and up-and-comers Emma and Will March. Fiddler Peter and pianist/fiddler Carol have been fiddling internationally for many decades. Fiddlers Emma and Will have dazzled audiences and judges at fiddle contests throughout Canada. All four have graced Stone Fence theatre stages often in the past. “JP is simply the best,” said the company’s producer, Ish Theilheimer. “I sat in astonishment watching him at a festival last summer and knew we had to have him back.” He last did a concert in Eganville for Stone Fence Theatre in 2010. The concert starts at 7:30 at the Rankin Culture and Community Centre. Tickets cost $25 and can be purchased online at www.stonefence.ca or by phone at 613-401-1497.
