Rise Up Singing - Guelph
Voices Together: A Benefit Singalong Concert
Annie Patterson & Peter Blood, the creators of Rise Up Singing, are coming to Guelph! This concert is a chance to meet the people who "wrote the book" and learn some of the 1200 additional songs in their 2015 sequel songbook Rise Again. Annie & Peter will be joined by guest artists Katherine Wheatley, James Gordon, and Sam Turton, all of whom have wonderful songs in Rise Again.
Our Thursday show in Guelph is SOLD OUT. But... there are still tickets available for the concert that Katherine, James and Sam will be joining us on in Toronto on Sunday!
