Haydon Kitchen Party with Kerri Ough and Ben Whiteley

An intimate evening of live music, local food and drink in a small schoolhouse just north of Bowmanville. Each Kitchen Party features local musicians and promises to deliver an energy filled evening complete with cash bar, fantastic local food and fundraising opportunities.

This Kitchen Party features local, original music. This fall we are pleased to hose Kerri Ough and Ben Whiteley. A lifelong musician and artist, Kerri Ough is perhaps best-known as one-third of the acclaimed folk-roots harmony trio and Juno-award winners the Good Lovelies - though she simultaneously enjoys a successful solo career when shes not on tour with the band.

In early 2019, Kerri released her debut solo-album One Day Soon and celebrated with an east coast tour alongside Royal Wood. The album charted across Canadian radio stations and her song Beautiful Day was featured in an episode of CBCs Kims Convenience. In late 2021 Kerri released a five-song solo EP called Afterthoughts."

Kerri will be joined at the Haydon Kitchen Party by her longtime friend and collaborator Ben Whiteley (Weather Station, Basia Bulat, Sarah Harmer) on upright bass and vocals to bring her lush solo composition to the stage - while of course sprinkling in some of her favourite Good Lovelies songs in the mix.

Up next? Kerri and the Good Lovelies will release their 10th album on October 6th and will be hitting the road across Canada, the UK and the US in support of that album.

This event helps to keep this small community hall open and functioning as a meeting place for the people of Haydon and surrounding hamlets. Thank you for supporting our community!
