Morrissey’s Private Stock & Lynn Miles

The Calgary Folk Club Presents Morrisseys Private Stock and Lynn Miles

Lynn Miles
Ottawa-based Lynn Miles is one of the most respected and hardest working figures on the national folk scene. With around 900 songs to her name, 16 albums and counting, six Canadian Folk Music Awards, multiple production credits, speaking engagements, published writings, fundraising and a steady touring schedule, hers is an impressive track record. Her sultry, honeyed voice and witty repartee guide you on bittersweet journeys through love, loss, wry regrets, and hard won observations about life choices. The New York Times music critic John Pareles wrote that her music “makes forlorn feel like a state of grace.” Ellis Paul says she has the kind of voice that makes you pull the car over and the kind of lyrics that render heartache into something beautiful. Amen, gentlemen.

Special Guest: Morrissey’s Private Stock
Why travel to the Maritimes or Ireland to get your fix of East Coast Irish and Celtic music when it’s right in our own backyard in the form of Morrissey’s Private Stock? The Airdrie band invites you to join in the craic and sing along to their high-octane, toe-tapping tunes, fuelled by bohdrán, fiddle and driving rhythm guitar. Fans enthuse that their music is as real as it gets and a true, authentic East Coast experience. Raise a pint, clear your throat and hear for yourself. morrisseysprivatestock.ca
