Local
singer-songwriters Tracy Lalonde, Stephanie Coleman and Sara Murphy
will perform in the first of a series of local talent showcases at the
newly-launched ‘The Church on Sydney”.
The
‘A Night at The Church” concert series will offer local musicians and
artists an opportunity to perform and showcase their art in a creative,
inspiring space to audiences of all ages.
“There
is an increasing demand for this type of venue for those looking for a
change from the usual club scene,” said coordinator Sara Murphy.
The
collaborative workspace at 130 Sydney Street features vaulted ceilings,
picturesque stained glass windows and gleaming hardwood floors.
Local
entrepreneur and “The Church on Sydney” founder Brock Frost is excited
about the event and hopes to see the arts community make use of the
space for creative pursuits such as concerts.
“We would love to see events like this happen in here on a regular basis,” said Frost. “We
have this beautiful space here right downtown. It would be great to see
people take in a show, dinner, go for a walk down to the park and spend
some time downtown in the evening.”

her unique vocal stylings. Already a local favourite, this 23
