Katherine Wheately is a Canadian treasure. One of Canada’s best songwriters, Katherine is also gifted with a gorgeous singing voice that she uses to great advantage to deliver her songs plus a few old standard covers. Did we mention that she is a wonderful guitar player and story teller, as well? She’ll bring a smile to your face and very possibly the occasional tear. Katherine’s website is at www.katherinewheatley.com.
James Gordon is a veteran, well known performer, particularly known from his days as founding member of Tamarack, the profoundly Canadian folk group. James Gordon is one of Canada’s most prolific songwriters, well known for his songs about social justice, heritage and environmental issues. His classic “Frobisher Bay” has been recorded and performed by hundreds of acts world-wide and was an audition piece for “Canadian Idol.” His song “Mining For Gold” was featured on the Cowboy Junkies’ landmark album “The Trinity Sessions” and was heard in John Sayles’ film “Silver City.” James has made countless appearances on television and radio, and was a resident songwriter on CBC radio for 12 years, with weekly songs on shows including “Basic Black.” www.jamesgordon.ca for more info.
Katherine and James have collaborated together often and this performance will be one of those memorable evenings at the Newmarket Folk Society!
