April Fundraiser Concert

by sheedy on April 7, 2012

Eaglewood proudly hosts Sean Cotton’s Doghouse in concert April 28th in Pefferlaw at the Belvedere Cookhouse and Saloon. Admission is only $5 so we expect lots of Eaglewood patrons and new-to-the-festival folks to come out to enjoy a Saturday evening of great, live music.

Here is what Sean says about his new group:  Sean Cotton’s Doghouse reflects the R&B side of my personality in the vein of Bill Withers and Sly Stone. The all acoustic group is a trio consisting of myself on acoustic guitar, vocals and foot percussion, Jed Corbeil on upright bass, & Chris McConnell on hand percusiion. This is a new project coming out of Muskoka and getting ready with a grooving summer vibe.
