Audience members welcome for a Wendell Ferguson performance on the stage at JamSchool's newest location in Guelph, behind Delainey's at 930 Woodlawn. There is lots of free parking and tickets are available at the door for $15.
The intimate one hour performance will be followed by an acoustic song circle. Participants may simply listen, perform their own original song as desired, and/or provide constructive feedback and critiques to fellow musicians between tunes. If you like, bring 5 printed copies of your song for sharing.
Or, you might pipe up with feedback in the song circle, to share some of your personal response to the material presented.
Its almost like a park jam. but this time one very fancy songwriter in particular, has signed up to do a whole hour while we just listen...
The 4 or 5 most comfy seats in the place go fast, so don't be too late!!
Not just one of the best loved and most respected guitar players in Canada, Wendell Ferguson is known for his own, original, very funny songs, on record and live at Folk Festivals, theatres and a wide variety of concert venues. The man writes sharp, witty and head-spinningly brilliant tunes, while he is also recognized by his fans and peers in the industry as one of the top pickers in the country.
Seven time CCMA Guitar Player of the Year, Wendell has traveled the globe and accompanied a veritable who's who in both the country genre - (George Fox, Tommy Hunter, Shania Twain, The Dixie Chicks) and the folk arena - (including Gordon Lightfoot and Russell deCarle of Prarie Oyster). According to Country Music News, Wendell Ferguson "is known best as having one of the quickest wits in the game. A talented and funny guy to say the least."
This session is presented by the Guelph Regional Writers Group of the Songwriters Association of Canada, Volunteer Coordinator Kim Logue explains "the esteemed celebrity guest will participate in the meeting with both intimate performance of orginal tunes, and discussion of his personal experience, technique and process.
