For some, the end of summer is signaled by the singing of the Mary Ellen Carter on Summerfolk's Sunday night. But the music doesn't have to end there in Grey-Bruce. Desboro Music Hall is presenting a triple bill of performers on August 25 to keep your summer music spirits high.

Join past Summerfolk performer Shawna Caspi as she celebrates the release of her brand new album, Forest Fire, along with Guelph duo Tragedy Ann, and local singer-songwriter Cody Zevenbergen.

Shawna Caspi performs solo, but there's a whole band under her fingertips. A mighty singer, a story sculptor, and a truth teller, she has toured across Canada and the USA and believes in poetry and the power of one person and one instrument, accompanying herself with a remarkable lyrical fingerpicking guitar style. Shawna loves the landscapes of her travels and while weaving them into her songs, she has also been portraying them on canvases, painting one-of-a-kind works of art inspired by the rich scenery she sees on tour.

When grit and groove meets softly swaying silk, the thrift-folk of Braden Phelan and Liv Cazzola comes to life. With an electric chemistry and quick-witted sense of humour, they've threaded their colours and textures together to create the terrifying two-headed kitten that is Tragedy Ann. Playing with folk and alt. blues yarns, Cazzola and Phelan draw from personal experiences to filter narrative stories of the past and present into their own songwriting. Having performed in 2016 at Live From the Rock, toured Western Canada, and released their debut EP Stumbling – Tragedy Ann is known to make audiences laugh, cry, hug complete strangers, and is the only cure for the common cold.
