House Concert with Ian Foster
Friday, October 5, 2018 | 7:30 PM 9:30 PM
Ian Foster, native of Newfoundland, Canada, is a storyteller. That music is the way he tells those stories only makes the telling richer still. Modern folk wrapped in Canadiana, Ian’s writing style belies a love of history, home and the humble tale. CBC’s Bob Mersereau described him as being “a fine example of what a 21st century folk performer should be doing.”
Often likened to Canadian songwriting icon Bruce Cockburn in both writing and guitar style, and artists like Daniel Lanois for his atmospheric approach to sound, Ian’s music has been described as thoughtful, introspective, cinematic, hopeful, atmospheric, and cathartic by critics and fans alike. He has numerous awards, nominations and co-writes to his credit, including SOCAN Songwriter of the Year nominations, Lyric finalist for the International Songwriting Competition (Nashville, TN), and a co-write with Canadian songwriting legend Ron Hynes.
During these intimate, acoustic, house concert inspired evenings, Westben explores Americana, Folk, Bluegrass and more.

Monthly Meeting – 7:00 pm NEW TIME
Guest speaker: Dr. Mark G. McGowan "From Pickering to Prelate: Archbishop Denis O'Connor, Farmer, Educator, and Bishop"
Denis O'Connor was born on the family farm in Pickering Township in the 1840s, and became one of the first graduates of St. Michael's College in Toronto. After a distinguished career as a priest and teacher, he became the first Canadian-born archbishop of Toronto. His years leading the Catholic Church in the area were turbulent and filled with controversy - a stark contrast to his earlier peaceful life on the farm and as a teacher.
