HARRISTON – Minto Arts has announced its next Basement Cafe on Oct. 18 will feature Emily Burgess and The Emburys, with Tiff Frost as opening act.
Minto Arts officials state Emily Burgess and The Emburys are a “high-energy roots and blues trio out of the music hub of Peterborough, Ontario.” The group played 100 shows in 2018 and was recognized as best new artist at the Maple Blues Awards.
“On top of a very strong command of their instruments, each band member contributes vocals, creating soaring three-part harmonies on original tunes that you’ll be singing the whole way home,” organizers assert.
Frost has been influenced by a wide range of musical genres. The southwestern Ontario resident started playing music at the age of 16. Focusing on her passion for blues and jazz, she began earning a living as a busker at 18. Since then she has played at Guelph’s Multicultural Festival two years in a row, and is currently recording with guitarist/composer Adrian Raso.
Tickets for the Basement Café, downstairs at the Harriston Library, are available at Harriston Home Hardware, the Minto Arts Gallery or through Eventbrite.
