HOTCHA with the Nonie Crete Band: Saturday, June 18: 8:00pm $15 door / $10 students/artists. HOTCHA: High-energy hillbilly swing duo blends old-time Western, bluegrass, early swing and country gospel delivered with the energy of a runaway train. Soaring vocals, lively accordion, gritty guitar, wailing harmonica and big-beat bodhran. www.HOTCHA.ca Nonie Crete Band: From heady blues, Irish balladry, to Cajun and French Canadian folk, this one-woman music festival also features Eugene Rea (vocals, guitar, mandolin, tenor banjo, bouzouki, whistles) and Gary Kreller (accordion, piano). “… [her] delightful accomplished original pieces, ranging in style from melodic Anglo-American balladry to bluesy rock, gutbucket saloon songs and country folk, reveal Crete as a powerful and engaging storyteller with an extraordinarily sweet voice and a mean harmonica”. ~ Greg Quill, Toronto Star www.noniecrete.ca
