8th Annual Music Westport and Arts Market

Music Westport and Arts MarketThis year will be the 8th consecutive year of the Music Westport and Arts Market. There’s so much to see and do you need the weekend to take it all in. The weekend starts off at The Cove in Westport on Friday, August 15th, with the Music Westport Kick Off Party, featuring H’Sao from Montreal, an African Acapella/Dance Group.

On Saturday, August 16th, enjoy our local arts and music scene by taking in an outdoor concert or shopping in the arts market. In the morning watch our 3rd Annual Voice of The Rideau, The Cove’s local amateur vocal competition where you can cast your vote for this year’s winner.

This music festival features two outdoor stages: behind The Cove and beside Artemisia where you can listen to great Canadian bands play everything from rock’n roll to today’s contemporary country music. All the outdoor events are free, so tell your neighbours and bring your kids to spend the weekend with us in Westport.

To audition for the Voice of the Rideau download and complete the form, then come with your talent on July 19th to the North Crosby Hall from 10am-4pm and show the Westport Arts Council what you’re made of. This competition is open to all ages, no voice is too small to compete.

Events List
Voice of the Rideau Audition – Saturday, July 19, 10am-4pm
H’Sao Concert and Dance – Friday, August 15, 8-11pm, Tickets $10
Outdoor Concerts – Saturday, August 16, 12-6pm, FREE!

Acoustic Blue Sunday Last Show of the Season on September 9!

Treasa LevasseurTREASA LEVASSEUR at ACOUSTIC BLUE SUNDAY at THE COVE

A reminder that the great TREASA LEVASSEUR – accompanied by guitarist David Baxter and bassist Brian Kobayakawa – will be closing out the 2012 ACOUSTIC BLUE SUNDAY Dinner & Show Series at THE COVE INN, Westport this coming Sunday, SEPTEMBER 9th

Treasa is one of the best singer/songwriters on the Canadian – and international – Blues scene today. Her voice has great power and range – it can whisper, cry, soar and blast you out of your seat – sometimes all in the same song! She’s a multiple Maple Blues Award and a Juno Award nominee. Her most recent album “Broad” is getting great airplay and should be a frontrunner for another Juno and Maple Blues Award nomination for best Blues Album Of The Year this year IMHO. This is her third visit to The Cove. She knocked us dead on the last two and this performance promises to be no exception. This is your last chance of the season to enjoy one of these magic evenings of delicious food and superb music.

BUFFET DINNER & SHOW is only $45
6 to 10 pm
ADVANCE RESERVATIONS are required. There are still some tickets available.

Call (613) 273-3636 or 1-888-COVE-INN

Well-priced accommodation is available at The Cove and nearby B&B’s
Proceeds go to support the WESTPORT FALL COLOURS STUDIO TOUR
More info at www.choosetheblues.ca
