Sat, 26 Mar 2022 - Sat, 26 Mar
Time: 8:00PM
Julian Taylor is a songwriter at the top of his game, garnering a recent CFMA Solo Artist of the year.

Of West Indian and Mohawk descent, Taylor first made his name as frontman of Staggered Crossing in the early 2000s. Catriona Sturton is a multi-instrumentalist tour de force, bringing a sometimes tender, sometimes comic sensibility to her songs about mysteries, the blues, cats, and late night calls.
