Canada Day – July 1 at 8PM

Legendary Band LIGHTHOUSE comes to the Village!

Lighthouse burst on the scene in 1969 with a unique blend of rock, jazz and classical influences that defied all conventions. They have played with music legends The Who, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, The Doors and Chicago.  They were the first rock band to headline the Newport, Monterey and Boston Globe Jazz Festivals and the first to perform with a symphony orchestra.  Receiving four successive Group of the Year Junos and an Outstanding Male Performance Juno for Bob McBride. Fans responded by buying nine gold and platinum albums with international hits such as “One Fine Morning”, “Sunny Days”, “Hats Off to the Stranger”, “1849″ and “Pretty Lady”.

Today Lighthouse is creating the same magic with an extraordinary group of ten musicians featuring the original nucleus of Skip Prokop, Ralph Cole and Paul Hoffert, an all-star horn section with originals Russ Little and Steve Kennedy and dynamic lead vocalist Dan Clancy.

This is one performance you will not want to miss!

Mountain Music – September 7

A mountain of music with live shows throughout the Village and Mountain on the first even Guitar Trail! Check out Chloe Charles and headliner Ash Koley – “Don’t Let Your Feet Touch Ground”

Don’t be fooled by the eponymous nature of the name. Ash Koley is a band comprised of two people: Ash Koley and Phil Deschambault. Phil concedes his name isn’t as catchy, and Ash is narcissistic enough to agree to have the band named after herself.  Their sound is an amalgamation of diverse influences, their songs sketch together diverse melodies and lyrics, drawing on cross-generational influences from Abba to the Eurythmics, and from Peter Gabriel to Radiohead.  The result is a band that is a full embodiment of what they each bring to the duo – quirky charm, and upbeat classic pop music.
