The concerts are performed inside the dining room for only 30 people maximum and the artists stay at the Lodge for a couple of nights allowing for the guests to sit down and have dinner or breakfast with them.
The focus has been primarily on Canadian artists and the music tends to be more in the Roots/Folk range.
Concert tickets are available to lodge guests staying during these dates and outside dinner/concert packages will be available once the Lodge is sold out.

September 18th– Suzie Vinnick
The ease of transition from blues to folk to light contemporary music is stunning with a voice that you can’t believe you are hearing live. It should be no surprise to anyone however with her 2008 Canadian Maple Blues Award for Female Vocalist of the Year, her 2009 Juno nominee for Roots and Traditional Album, and two nominations at the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Awards. www.suzievinnick.com
