Ken Whiteley in concert - this Saturday

Every year during the Uxbridge Celebration of the Arts, there are many events happening, and things that could keep you busy almost every night for 10 days - but one of the most anticipated is the first Saturday night event. This year is no exception.

On Saturday September 18th, Ken Whiteley and his band will be blowing the doors off of the Uxbridge Music Hall with his rich background sound created by his incredible influences in blues, gospel and folk. The "One World Dance Concert" will start at 8pm and the tickets are $25. You can get the Tickets from Presents, Presents and Blue Heron Books and if you are lucky, there may be some at the door. There will be a cash bar.

Some background on Ken- he has played at virtually every major folk festival in Canada, and has performed and recorded with such legends as Pete Seeger, Blind John Davis, Stan Rogers, Raffi and more. He is also an active record producer having worked on more than 80 albums. And not just any albums - these have resulted in Ken being honoured with 11 Gold or Platinum Albums, 22 Juno nominations, 2 Juno awards and 2 Grammy nominations. That is some big load of awards.

Ken welcomes his full band including The Levy Singers (vocals), Joe Sealy (piano), Ben Whiteley (bass), Bucky Berger (drums), Colleen Allen (saxophones), and Ken himself on guitar and mondolin. This night promises to be electrifying.
