Lynn Miles Concert
Friday May 30th
We are very excited to welcome Lynn Miles & Keith Glass to Manotick United Church as they entertain us with this Friday evening concert.
Lynn Miles is an award winning singer-songwriter, record producer, teacher, writer & public speaker. She’s also pretty funny, a 3 minute standup routine is at the top of her bucket list. Lynn has 16 albums to her credit. She won a Juno award in 2003 for Roots Traditional Album of the year, and went on to be nominated in the same categories in 2011 and 2006. She is also the recipient of 6 Canadian Folk Music Awards including 3 for songwriter of the year. Her 2 most recent awards were given to her duo THE LYNNeS for songwriters of the year, and ensemble of the year at the 2018 Canadian Folk Music Awards. Her most recent album “tumbleweedyworld” was nominated for album of the year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, and her previous album “We'll Look For Stars ”was # 1 on the Euro/americana chart for the month of August 2020.
Keith Glass is a founding member, guitarist and songwriter with Prairie Oyster, a group which enjoyed a very long and successful career and critical acclaim, including multiple Juno and CCMA awards. They are often cited as the country’s foremost roots/country band, and toured extensively in Canada, the U.S. and Europe over a career spanning almost four decades. In 2008, they were inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, and also received a SOCAN Songwriter’s Lifetime Achievement Award. In his post-Oyster life Keith has kept busy with family, building a studio, writing songs, making a couple of solo records, being Lynn Miles’ sideman, producing and playing/singing on dozens of recordings, and playing a few solo shows close to his home outside Ottawa.
This concert is a fundraiser for our church. We have a beautiful heritage building that we believe should be shared with the community and the proceeds from the concert will be used to maintain the building and keep it a safe and welcoming place for everyone. We thank Lynn & Keith for graciously accepting our invitation to play here and we hope you will come and enjoy the evening with us.
Tickets may be purchased online in advance or at the door (cash or card).
