The Next Generation Leahy

As with all forces of nature, the music and energy created by The Next Generation Leahy simply cannot be contained. The drive to create music is powerful within each of the Leahy children. It has given rise to multi-instrumental talents, whose dynamic live performances have been described as “astounding” and “breath-taking.” For the last several years, Next Generation Leahy has performed across North America, and shared the stage with the likes of The Chieftains, We Banjo 3, The Tenors, and Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy.

Belying their young ages, these siblings are all accomplished multi-instrumentalists whose live performances are filled with the high-energy, infectious music associated with the Leahy name. However, not content to play only the music of their Celtic heritage, these musicians explore many genres of music and pull influences from far and wide. Fiddle, cello, French accordion, singing, piano, and French-Canadian step-dancing serve to bring their unique style of music to life.

"I’ve never experienced anything like this before. When they played with us, The Next Generation Leahy simply brought the house down!" ~ Paddy Moloney & The Chieftains The music that lives in each of these young people - which is so joyful, so positive, and so rare - overflows from them and affects audiences who have witnessed something truly unique and remarkable.

Meaford was officially established as a town in 1874 and the community is coming together to celebrate 150 years! Known for many things, Meaford is also recognized for its rich culture and local talent. The Meaford 150 Showcase in Concert is a great example of that!

Created and Performed by Grand Illusionists and

Hollywood Headliners: The Outerbridges

Masters of illusion, Ted and Marion Outerbridge, Mysteries of the Keyhole House will take you on a magical and historical journey of their own personal experiences in the Keyhole House. 

This production is based on a true story about the once dilapidated historic home that the Outerbridges now happily share with spirits of yesteryear, and which they lovingly call The Keyhole House, so named for its grand keyhole arched entryway (what magician doesn’t love a keyhole and its portal to the otherworldly?!).  

Ted’s masterful video-logues about restoring the Keyhole House, the historical artifacts found, and friendly hauntings have gone viral with over 30 million views on TikTok and appearances on CTV National News, a TVO documentary, and NBC’s The Golf Channel (Brooke Henderson’s grandparents had a 54-year connection to the house).

These videos and the true stories they tell birthed Mysteries of the Keyhole House, a simultaneously reverent, mystical, and joyous show, where magic becomes the master storyteller. Audiences will be transported through time as Ted and Marion Outerbridge take them through an evening of enthralling illusions, theatre and dance, creating a spine-tingling spectacle of living history. It’s more than just magic!

Einstein! Celebrating 100 Years of General Relativity

This multi-award winning and critically acclaimed show, written and starring Jack Fry, brings Einstein back from beyond, frustrated that no one has heard the real science history behind General Relativity. 

Albert takes us back to Berlin in 1914 where he is sent sideways in a world crumbling around him due to the Great War, a science establishment that doesn’t believe him, those that do try to wrestle the theory away from. He is being isolated for his pacifist views, has a wife who won’t give him a divorce, faces a huge scientific backlash, anti-Semitism, a 10-year old son fighting for his affections, and finally a nervous breakdown that lay him bed ridden for two whole months. 

Told with humour, 3D graphics that help give us an insight to his brilliant mind, Albert Einstein comes to life as Jack Fry revitalizes one of the most intriguing icons of all time.

It is funny, touching and a true triumph!

Lighthouse

Lighthouse burst on the scene in 1969, with an explosive sound that defied all conventions. Between 1970 and 1973 they were awarded four Junos, four gold albums and Canada’s first platinum album for Lighthouse Live! while hits such as One Fine Morning, Sunny Days, Hats Off to the Stranger, 1849 and Pretty Lady raced to the top of Canadian and International charts. Reunited in 1992, Lighthouse continues to tour regularly, featuring original founders Paul Hoffert and Ralph Cole leading an all-star line-up that includes other original members Russ Little and Steve Kennedy with Chris Howells, Simon Wallis, Doug Moore, Don Paulton, Jamie Prokop and dynamic lead vocalist Dan Clancy.

Pavlo

For those who have ever attended a Pavlo concert, you know that he and his band will take you on a Mediterranean escape like no other, as they perform Pavlo’s signature “feel-good” music. Opa!!

One of the most influential and respected guitarists of our time, internationally renowned, award-winning recording artist, performer and songwriter, Pavlo has become famous for bringing every audience to their feet.

Over the span of a 20 year career, Pavlo has released 11 albums of his own music, plus 2 collaborative albums and 3 television concert specials that continue to air on PBS across America and Canada. Born in Toronto to Greek parents, Pavlo has made a name for himself by offering a musical amalgam he simply calls “Mediterranean music”-a blend of Greek, flamenco, Latin, and even Balkan flavours, wrapped in contemporary pop. His music has taken him all around the world. Along the way he’s performed for royalty in the likes of King Charles and worked and toured with artists such as José Feliciano, Jon Secada, and Olivia Newton-John.

Pavlo is also known for his belief that “the world needs more guitars”. In fact, he gives away the guitar he performs with to a random member of the audience at every concert! What’s next? Pavlo is currently planning his 4th PBS concert special “Pavlo: Live In Santorini” and he remains driven by the words his father told him when he was a boy: “Have the courage to do what you love, and the drive to do it well.”
