Wednesday July 26 - Jayden Grahlman & Drew McIvor |
 If music be romance, then Drew McIvor's music just might be the first date: playful, chatty, honestly yearning to connect. With his trusty six-string, this charismatic crooner performs with a masterful simplicity inviting audiences not only to listen, but truly share the musical experience. His deep affection for his craft is apparent at every turn; you can feel his heart is in the music, and it is contagious.
Combining effervescent, capable song writing with truly staggering guitar chops, Jayden Grahlman delivers performances that not only say "Man can this guy play" but more over, "Isn't music wonderful!" It's pure musical joy. On their own these two Georgian Bay gems shine. Combined, they sparkle, offering up a beautifully melodic palette of folk, americana, gypsy swing, and acoustic soul in sweet skillful harmony.
