About John Carroll:
John Carroll’s successful over 25 year career as a singer, songwriter and performer is deeply rooted in his ability to create mindful, pithy, and insightful songs from his observations of everyday life. He is a sure footed teller of yarns, and his tales of wit are woven seamlessly through song and stage banter, making him an enthralling live performer. His songs gain further depth by his skilled finger-style and slide guitar playing, lending an aching melody or creating gritty background for the images embedded in his lyrics. John’s music treats his audiences to the vibrational equivalent of coming home.
About Nate Hardy:
Nate Hardy is a singer-songwriter from Brockville, Ontario. Nate has been involved in music for most of his life and has recently been producing, writing, performing and teaching music here in Brockville. Nate creates a unique sonic experience, blending together classic and modern techniques for a truly one-of-a-kind listening experience.
About Jackie Schoemaker Holmes:
Jackie Schoemaker Holmes is a Woman, Mother, Sociologist, and Empowerment Specialist who will be sharing their poetry with us. It is their goal and purpose in the world to help women to do what they have only ever dreamed of, whether it is something as large as finding balance between the demands of home and work, or as seemingly simple, but elusive, as finding peace within their own lives and hearts. Jackie recently published a book of Poetry titled: Eating Her Young: Poems for the Disruption of Motherhood.
About Mary-Louise Scappaticci:
Mary-Louise Scappaticci (Scapp-ART-ticci) is an inspirational artist and educator who uses her art to challenge people to be themselves and embrace individuality. As a High School Visual Arts, Photography, and Media Arts teacher at TISS, she is dedicated to helping her students ignite their creative sparks. Mary-Louise will be exhibiting their work and painting live throughout the evening.
