Tony Dekker At Your Cottage, Back Deck, or Living Room
And Great Lake Swimmers Live from Windsor, Ontario Tonight at Meteor!
Have you ever considered having one of your favourite acts over to your living room, cottage, or back deck for a private concert?
Maybe get a small group of friends, neighbours and relatives together, have everyone bring a few snacks and beverages, and throw in some bucks to have an intimate musical experience, with say, a renowned Canadian songwriter?
We’re trying something new. In the grand tradition of the travelling troubadour, Tony Dekker, of Great Lake Swimmers, is testing out making himself available for small gatherings in your living room, cottage, or backyard. Keeping it casual, he’d show up with his guitar, play and sing some songs from across the eight-album, twenty-year Great Lake Swimmers catalogue, tell a few stories about life on the road, hang out, eat chips, and even entertain a cover song or two. How many Gordon Lightfoot songs does Tony know how to play? This could be your chance to find out.
The fee would depend on a few different factors, like travel, timing, etc. with the hope that it’d make sense for everyone and either line up with existing Great Lake Swimmers tour dates or fall on a timeline where the band is having some downtime and Tony is free to roam. And if the timing or travel doesn’t exactly work out at the moment, maybe there’d be a chance to connect down the road.
So in a nutshell: drop us a line if you’d like to connect and possibly have Tony over. He’s a great guest, host and lake swimmer, and his particular variety of songwriting actually works really well in small, intimate gatherings. Above all, this unique performance experience is a chance to create a space where people come together to celebrate art, foster community, and ignite the spark of creativity in a cozy and inclusive setting.
