Library After Dark with Jeremy Lyall
2024-11-09 19:00 - 22:00 | Perth & District Union Public Library, 30 Herriott Street, Perth, Ontario, K7H 1T2, Canada
Library After Dark returns to the Perth & District Library on Saturday November 9 with a night of music with accomplished local singer-songwriter Jeremy Lyall.
Library After Dark is a special fundraising concert series held at the Perth & District Library, and offers a chance for people who love music to see top notch artists in a unique, alternative space.
“After being hidden away for too long, it’s time to let these songs of mine out into the light of day for Library After Dark,” said Jeremy Lyall. “Along with fellow musicians Kalil Bailey and Isaac Matthews, we’ve been cooking them up in the kitchen and look forward to playing them for you this November 9, along with some selected covers, at the Perth & District Library. These songs come of a youth growing up on an apple farm, a career in film production, and a life interested in what lies buried and hidden in us and in the world. They offer a lyrical glimpse of some of the things found, felt, and experienced along the way. The distinct musical voices of Kalil’s percussion and Isaac’s guitar have given them a groove and feel that has me very excited to announce our forthcoming album for the new year”.
Doors open at 7:00 pm and music starts at 7:30 pm, so there is plenty of time to grab a bite at your favorite downtown restaurant before or after the show. You can also enjoy a beverage from the cash bar at the library during the show.
Tickets are $30 and available for purchase here in advance or at the door.
