This is the first in the Monday series "Best of the West"! Milton Community Hall are proud to announce that Red Moon Road, Winnipeg folk trio, are coming to us on Monday August 4th at 7:30 p.m. Red Moon Road will also be accompanied by local artists Janet McGarry and Serge Bernard. Tickets will be $10 and available at the door or by contacting the Milton Community Hall at miltoncommunityhall@gmail.com or (902)566-3154.
Born in a storm on a wild Canadian lake, Red Moon Road came into its own on the trails between coast and coast. All credit goes to the chemistry, and to the magic that happens when the Winnipeg band's two Daniels - jazz-trained Daniel Jordan and bilingual prog-rock vet Daniel Peloquin-Hopfner - strum up the strings to support twilight-voiced singer Sheena Rattai. From living rooms to folk fest stages, the three have charmed fans from coast to coast with their lush and lively take on modern roots, peppered always by bright stage banter, exquisite harmonies and masterfully told stories. As you can hear on their brand-new EP "Tales from the Whiteshell" or their acclaimed eponymous debut album, it's all sort of rich and warm and deeply familiar, like a campfire crackling wherever the microphones stand: even if it's your first time in the audience, you come as a friend of this band.

Janet McGarry has been a dominant presence in bluegrass music, both at home and abroad for the past 15 years and has released her 11th CD, titled "Beneath a Painted Sky". Serge Bernard is an accomplished instrumentalist, playing mandolin, guitar, fiddle, dobro, bass and his main instrument of choice - banjo. Janet and Serge have a busy summer schedule with their band "Wildwood". For more info: www.janetmcgarry.com
