Haydon Kitchen Party

An intimate evening of live music, local food and drink in a small schoolhouse just north of Bowmanville, in the village of Haydon. We are surrounded by Enniskillen, Tyrone, Hampton, Blackstock and South of Port Perry. Each Kitchen Party features local musicians and promises to deliver an energy filled evening complete with cash bar, fantastic local food and fundraising opportunities.

Our Kitchen party this fall features The Once!
A modern indie folk trio from Newfoundland, The Once have collected a trio of Canadian Folk Music Awards, numerous ECMA awards, and was named Artist of the Year by the Newfoundland & Labrador Arts Council. They have earned not one, but two JUNO nominations for Roots Album of the Year and continue to take their music around the world.

With the release of 2024s Out Here, The Once have delivered a thoughtful and playful assembly of songs mingling their musical roots from Newfoundland along with folk, bluegrass, country, Americana, and modern indie rock. Members Geraldine Hollett, Andrew Dale, and Phil Churchill have created a sound representative of their home province of Newfoundland while pushing the boundaries on the great Canadian songbook with their soothing vocal harmony and acoustically rich core.

Lyrically, The Onces newest collection of songs encompass an arresting sense of loss with the belief that the good can be found in all people, and a desire to bring it out here for everyone to enjoy. A ray of hope in a confusing time. A port in a storm. A provocation with a grin.

This material is soaked with the poetic charm and sunny sadness of the trios collective disposition. Written across Newfoundland and recorded in the bands GingerBeard House studio the band took their time creating this record. Sometimes music takes a while to flow, Geraldine Hollett explains. If you dont panic and instead surround yourself with people who love you that you can trust, magic can happen.
