This Sunday, May 28th, marks the second installment in the Port William Concert Series taking place at Cardinal Cafe in Sharbot Lake with two performances by Bry Webb and Evening Hymns.

Guelph-based Songwriter Bry Webb, best known as the lead vocalist for the indie rock band The Constantines, will be playing songs from his two critically-acclaimed folk records with lapsteel and hurdy-gurdy accompaniment.

Sharing the stage will be Evening Hymns, from Mountain Grove. The 4-piece will be playing songs from their previous three albums as well as new songs from their upcoming record that is being recorded in Frontenac County later this summer.

There is a matinee show with doors opening at 3pm and the concert starting at 4pm. The evening show will have doors at 7:30 and the concert beginning at 8pm.

The evening show is now sold out and there are limited tickets left for the matinee show.

Both performances are being recorded by BBC Radio 3 who are flying over to capture the show for their Canada 150 episode to be broadcast at a later date in the U.K.

As well, ticket buyers for this show will receive access to the audio from the first installment in the Port William series, a sold-out baroque performance, which took place in January of 2016.

The recorded concert from this weekend will be available to attendees when they purchase a ticket for the next show in the series, tentatively planned for late-summer.

There are only a few tickets left for the 4 o’clock show at $20. Contact Cardinal Cafe at 613-279-27634
