J. P. Cormier: Sunday, March 8, 2020. 7:30PM, Donation of $20 advance/$23 door. Reservations required.
I have been a fan of Cape Breton singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist J.P. Cormier for over 20 years, so you can only imagine how excited I was when his agent contacted me about hosting a house concert. I have seen him perform a number of times in Scotland, but to the best of my knowledge this will be his first time in Berkeley. J.P. will be touring with his guitar and fiddle, and possibly also with a mandolin and/or banjo. This concert is not to be missed!
Listen to some songs & tunes:
A number of J.P.'s CDs can be streamed from https://jpcormier.bandcamp.com/ .
