Jack Connolly & Genevieve Charbonneau
SATURDAY NOVEMBER 17th
Already lauded as “Cowichan Valley’s hottest new folk duo”, award-winning singer-songwriters Jack Connolly and Genevieve Charbonneau share a stunning vocal blend, musical chemistry and appealing charisma. Their folk and roots-based songs are clever, intimate and accessible and they skillfully back each other up with powerful harmonies and skillful guitar. Both are recording and co-producing new albums at the Shawnigan Lake Studio, due out in Spring 2019.
Jack Connolly grew up playing coffee houses, concert halls, and folk festivals on the West Coast of British Columbia. His unique voice, genuine warmth and passion for songs and songwriting earned him fans across the west, from church basements to big city music clubs to small town fairs. Jack’s reputation as a gifted songwriter and dynamic performer has won him invitations to play venues across the country with some of Canada’s best known performers, including David Foster, Tom Cochrane, Colin James, Spirit of the West, 54-40, Johnny Cash's Tennesee Three, Wide Mouth Mason, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, and James Keelaghan. Jack's fourth album "Move Me" will be released late spring 2019.
