The brick wall of the house at 275 Saskatchewan Drive in Arden is becoming a wall of fame.

 It boasts the autographs of performing artists that have shared their songs and stories in the dining room of the historical McCamus house in Arden. 

Brad and Tracey Meyers have been volunteer hosts for the Agassiz Home Routes Concert tour for three seasons and are looking forward to the 2015/16 performances.

The Home Routes is a not-for-profit arts organization and Canada’s only roots music house concert network.  During the 2015/16 series, 830 concerts with 14 touring circuits will reach over 168 communities across Canada in this, its ninth season.

A house concert is just what it sounds like, a live acoustic concert featuring professional performers in private homes.  In Arden, the season line up will include performers from Ontario, Nova Scotia, Minnesota, Ohio and Tennessee.  Bob Bovee will be the first performer on Tuesday, September 22.  

It’s an entertaining evening out with great guests and impressive performances in a home setting.  There is a $20 per person artist fee which includes refreshments at intermission.  “We welcome music enthusiasts to join us in Arden at 7:30pm or watch for Home Route schedules in their area” says Tracey.  The Arden performing artists schedule includes Bob Bovee Sep 22; Allison Brown & Uncle Dan Henshall Oct 21; Dana Cooper Nov19; Charlie A’Court Feb 6/16; Boy=Girl Mar 5 and The Schotts Apr 10.
