Don’t miss The Beans on March 10th, 7:30 PM at Balzac’s Coffee in downtown Kingston.
Now we love Kyra and Tully. We have had the pleasure to enjoy their music, listen to their music at home and are just thrilled to have them on stage at and man, are we in for a treat, as they are joined by the incredible, amazing, divine human that is Val Hamilton who plays basically everything and is joined by the also multitalented Brant Peppley.
They have called this gathering of talents ‘Together’.
More on the artists below:
Val Hamilton is a longstanding musician in the Kingston community who wears many hats. Her roots are in the folk community with the Birkensoul Sisters and Mid-life Crisis. Of late, you can catch her playing jazz on alto sax, singing with the new vocal jazz ensemble, Martello Alley Cats and She Sings. Val has also taken up choral composition, with seven pieces to her credit. The most recently performed was Off By Heart with Polyhymnia at the Isabel.
Val & Dave Vowles have a new weekly dinner jazz series: “Jazz Junction at BluMartini” on Wednesday nights 5:30-7:30 starting May 6. C’mon out!!!
Brant Peppley – double bass, guitar, vocals
Brant has been a steady working musician for more than forty years playing in various bands first in Ottawa and then later in Kingston. He evolved through folk and singer-songwriter roots into the world of jazz in the mid-eighties and has played in a wide array of groups since that time including the Big Swing Band, the Ron Gilbertson Quintet, the Blue Swing Trio. He is also the guitarist for the Motown band Heatwave that plays to support good causes in the Kingston area. Brant’s latest commitment as a bass player is to the Martello Alley Cats jazz ensemble.
Kyra and Tully
“Kyra and Tully’s rich melodic songs beautifully capture the moment of fragile humanity that lies between deep sadness and profound hope.
“Everyone should get to hear this sweet and truthful music”– Bruce Cockburn“Kyra & Tully’s insidiously hooky songs, much like the gently seductive numbers Sam Beam writes for Iron & Wine, have a way of sticking with you long after the disc stops spinning.” —Now Magazine (Toronto)
With a new album on the way in November 2020, Kyra and Tully are not to be missed. Check out their website http://www.kyraandtully.com or check them on Facebook for more info.
