Harbinger
House Concerts have been a happening thing on Hornby for many years. Now, I don’t know if they were called
Harbinger when I went to my first concert at Lex’s house. I do recall the intimate ‘Hornby house’
setting with a cool group of contemporary folk musicians called Fish and Bird,
playing banjo, fiddle, guitar, and bass drums.
Their
bio page on their website describes their music as:
“Their
take on ‘folk’ includes original songs in odd time signatures and traditional
murder ballads with rock beats.” Which
sounds about right.
Sadly,
I missed one of Harbinger’s recent concerts, featuring Shari Ulrich, the
songbird with Pied Pumpkin who many of us followed in the 70’s. AND I would have loved to visit the
beautiful home where the concert took place.
However,
on April 6, 2014, Harbinger brought a concert to our house!
Born
and bred in Duncan, B. C. Linda is now living in
Nashville with her husband, James.
Linda is a folk, blues, roots singer songwriter and
multi-instrumentalist performing on banjo, guitar, accordion, and vocals. She and James are a great song writing team and she entertained about 30
of us in my very own living room.
Thanks
to Melissa Devost and Ted Tanner and whoever else might be the Harbingers of House Concerts.
