Event Description
Join us on our beautiful waterfront patio for a Labour Day matinee featuring the sounds of Bon Echo!
Bon Echo is a Canadian folk and roots music duo based in London, UK
comprised of Emma Houlahan and Tim Loten. They have a sound rooted in
traditional American folk music coupled with contemporary folk
songwriting. Influenced by bluegrass, old time, classic country, and
folk revival they have dynamic two part harmonies, and virtuosic
instrumental performances.
The two grew up playing music together around the Ottawa Valley in
rural Ontario. As their musical tastes grew, their sound was drawn
more and more into the world of Bluegrass and Old Time, as well as
classic Canadian folk songwriters like Gordon Lightfoot, John Prine,
and David Francey. The two musicians have since relocated to London
but still return home to Canada to perform several times a year. Bon
Echo had some notable performances at Crossover Festival / Holmfirth
Festival / Stewart Park Festival, as well as many local pubs and folk
clubs across Canada and the UK.
