Jennifer Noxon’s new collection of original songs on The Gathering amplifies our human need to gather in celebration, protest, and to honour, and give thanks, while exploring the nooks and crannies of loneliness, love, loss and longing. She’ll be joined by The Brindled Cats; Brendan Gawn (bass), Rob McMurray (electric guitar), Ian Douglas (percussion), and James Stephens (fiddle, vocals).
Based in Almonte, Ontario, Jennifer is a past recipient of Folk Music Ontario’s Songs from the Heart award, founder and song leader of Almonte’s Rhythm & Song! Community Choir, and a visual artist. From 2004 to 2009, she was part of the contemporary folk trio Frida’s Brow, alongside Wakefield singer/songwriters Chris MacLean and Alise Marlane. Their debut self-titled album Frida's Brow was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award.
After several years away from the stage, Jennifer will share new songs and other favourites from her albums, Watch As You Walk and Sweet! while offering the audience some opportunities to sing along.
