Fri, May 15th , 8-10pm, Concert – Ali McCormick w/Graham Thompson - "Wayfaring West" Tour = Indie/Folk
Ali McCormick grew up in the Lanark Highlands just outside of Ottawa, Ontario on an off-grid hobby farm. She was drawn to music at a young age, live music around the kitchen table a common occurrence on the farm. With help & encouragement from her family she began writing songs. When it was obvious that music & song writing came naturally, her folks chipped in for an acoustic cutaway. She brought that guitar back & forth across the country playing open mics, coffee shops, basements, attics, around campfires & anywhere else people wanted to hear her music. After many years and many many songs, Ali has developed a musical style all of her own. She is busy captivating audiences with her unique voice and lyrics steeped in references to life, love and rural Canadian living. Over the years Ali has aquired an eclectic group of musically talented friends to accompany her in her travels.  Keep your eyes & ears open for Ali McCormick, she’s a performer you won’t want to miss!!

Ali McCormick “Wayfaring West” Spring 2015 Tour

Born and raised in the Lanark Highlands, deep within the Ottawa Valley, this emerging Canadian songstress got her start in music around the kitchen table at a very young age. Her songs are a reflection of her rural upbringing; songs about dad selling the tractor, bears on bicycles and motorcycles that won’t start unless you roll them down a hill in gear. She steadily hones her talent by seeking out more and more places to play, dropping everything to feed her creative spirit and listening to the call of the open road. You’ll want to catch Ali on her “Wayfaring West”tour because you will see the truly raw talent of an aspiring Canadian entrepreneur in the makings. Ali will be touring in support of her first release “Ali McCormick & Blackstrap Molasses”(2014) as well as her upcoming 2015 release “Clean Water”. Albums are available for purchase at live shows or on CD Baby.
