Meaghan Blanchard, a vibrant red-headed singer-songwriter, grew up in the rolling hills of beautiful Prince Edward Island. She has performed for the Royal couple, William and Kate, during their Royal Visit to PEI in the summer of 2011 and played 47 shows in 15 days at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver BC in 2010.  Meaghan’s third album “She’s Gonna Fly” won an ECMA for Country Recording of the year in Charlottetown in April, 2014.

Andy also writes a column for The Journal-Pioneer about raising four children.  Tickets for this show will be available at the door, or to reserve your tickets, contact Miltonvale Park at (902) 368-3090 or admin@miltonvalepark.com.  This show is supported by the PEI 2014 Fund, and jam for the yummy biscuits at the show has been generously provided by the PEI Preserve Company.

A musical evening to remember awaits you at the Milton Community Hall on Saturday, April 12, at 7:30 p.m. Just back from Chile where he was the winner of the Vina del Mar International Song Competition, Jeffery Straker and his piano-folk-pop-cabaret music are often compared to a mixture of early Elton John, Ben Folds, Sarah Slean, and Harry Chapin. Originally from small town Saskatchewan, the classically trained pianist was raised by a church organist mother and an auctioneer father. He swears he was born under the piano on the family farm. All this might explain his ability to share songs with audiences. (jeffstraker.com).

Known as the small girl with the big voice, Jenny MacDonald is making her mark as a charismatic, audacious, and prolific songwriter and performer - skilled beyond her years. From intimate performances in soft-seat theatre venues, to high-energy bar shows, MacDonald delivers a whole-hearted performance whether driving her way through the blues, stomping her way through dirty rock songs, swinging through jazz tunes, or resting peacefully in a touching love song. A songwriting style that weaves its way between everyday life and a world of make-believe, it will leave you wondering which stories are really true, and which are a creation of her imagination. (jennymacdonald.com) Admission is $10. To reserve tickets or for more information, call the hall at 566-3154 or visit miltoncommunityhall.ca.

What do a cowardly Confederate General, an escaped American slave and an Acadian roustabout have in common? Together they are Dr. Magnificent’s Travelling Musical Medicine Show, peddling medicinal tinctures across PEI in 1864. This lively, fictional and fanciful musical romp will spark your imaginations and will take a playful poke at the goings on during the PEI conference.
