Blues/rock Guitarist John Stewart will headline the next show in at the Minto Arts Council’s popular Basement Cafe Concert Series.
Local theatre-goers will recognize Stewart from his recent performance as part of the “High ‘n’ Mighty House Band” in the Grey Wellington Theatre Guild’s recent production of Job’s Blues.
Stewart played music with a number of acts from the mid-60s until 1980.
He left the music business at that time and started a 24-year career in broadcasting at the CBC. Upon retiring from the media he gravitated back to his musical roots and once again picked up the guitar and started to sing.
He now performs regularly throughout the Grey-Bruce area both as a soloist and as a member of a variety of musical acts.
Opening the show for Stewart is singer/songwriter Becky Litt of Harriston, a guitarist and interpreter of classic songs who also performs her own compositions.
The Minto Arts Council also announced the concert will be moving back to its original roots in the basement of the restored Harriston Carnegie Library.
The Feb. 9 show begins at at 8pm.
Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at Harriston Home Hardware or by calling 519-338-2497.
