Coulson Concerts: Jowi Taylor and Six String Nation
May 26 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Events Navigation
“The Coulson Concerts” are back in 2024 with an exciting line-up of Canadian musical artists. This folk and roots series is presented in a quaint historic church in Oro-Medonte, located in the hamlet of Coulson at 301 Horseshoe Valley Road W., and hosted by local singer-songwriter Anne Walker.
The venue: This little white church has stood watch at the top of Coulson hill on the Horseshoe Valley Road for over 140 years. The church, built in 1881, was closed as a place of worship in the 1960s and recently restored preserving many original features, including an ornate Victorian tin ceiling, pews, plank flooring, a cast iron and nickel-plated stove, and the original pulpit. Coulson Church provides an enchanting setting in which to enjoy authentic Canadian music.
Jowi Taylor and Six String Nation
Sunday, May 26 2pm
Jowi Taylor is a multiple award-winning writer, broadcaster, consultant and cultural entrepreneur. Six String Nation, conceived in 1995, took eleven years to bring to life and is centered around a single acoustic guitar nicknamed Voyageur. This unique instrument has been crafted from 64 pieces of wood, bone, metal, stone and horn, representing a variety of cultures, communities, characters and events from every province and territory of Canada. The project combines music, media, community engagement, and the dynamics of Canadian history and multicultural identity.
Six String Nation is a multi-media presentation that is informative, entertaining, inspiring and profoundly moving for Canadians of all backgrounds. The show distills stories of Canada’s diverse cultures, communities, and characters. Jowi’s presentation goes beyond Canada’s cultural clichés, galvanizing audiences with a story that is as deeply personal as each individual in the room and as vast as the country itself. Voyageur is an object that is at once a touchstone, a talking-stick and a living instrument that will be brought to life through performances by guest artists: Patty McLaughlin, Anne Walker and John Prince.
