Sheesham, Lotus and 'Son Return

Southern Frontenac Community Services | Mar 31, 2016

By popular demand, on Saturday, April 23 at 7:30 pm, the Grace Centre in Sydenham will present the return of “Sheesham, Lotus and 'Son: The New Kings of Old Time”, with Sheesham Crow, Lotus Wight and 'Son Sanderson. They are committed to the preservation of music and tradition of the past. The core of the show is a repertoire based on their love of the American fiddle tune, joyously played, not only with fiddle, but also with jaw-harps, banjos, and homemade instruments like the contrabass harmoni-phonium. Ragtime and blues never sounded so good. Their performance last year was sold out and very enthusiastically received. There was lots of toe-tapping and big smiles all round at the astounding musicianship and antics. The concert is a fundraiser for Southern Frontenac Community Services. Tickets are only $12 in advance and $15 at the door. No cost for children 10 and under. Tickets can be purchased at: Gilmour's in Harrowsmith; the SFCSC office at 4419 George Street; the One Stop in Sydenham; Ormsbee's Mercantile in Sunbury
