On October 17, the Black Walnut Folk Club will welcome back Jack Guest to our Featured spot. Jack will start the evening off at 8:00 P.M. with a 1/2 hour mini-concert. Jack has been playing in his own unique style of (barrel-house/blues/folk) for a long-long while. If you haven’t heard him before, this is your big chance.
Last month we had an exceptional start for or season. Thanks to Amy Campbell who gave us a terrific mini-concert. It was her first CD Release concert for her brand-new double CD. She had to put some more CDs on the table after the first lot sold-out. See her photo on our performer page. We are still trying to track-down a better photo of Amy. If you have one please send it to waycheater@rogers.com .

After the summer break our new season kicks off with a bang on Friday Night September 19 with a visit from Amy Campbell for the feature set at 8:00 PM. I’ve loved Amy ever since her christening in Mount Pearl NF. I won’t say when that was.
Check out her soon to released 3rd CD at www.amycampbell.ca You can hear terrific samples, see pictures and read stuff like, “An east-coast transplant originally from Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, Campbell was voted best local female solo artist Halifax’s Reverb Magazine in 2003. Since the release of Architecture that same year, Campbell has toured Ontario, Quebec, and Eastern Canada and the US extensively, winning over the hearts of audiences across the province with her poignant songwriting and charismatic stage presence.”
