The Roadhouse Series - North of the Border: The Singer-Songwriters of Canada. Dec. 9, 8:00pm

As 2023 roars to finish, The Roadhouse Series will abide and continue to bring Americana-roots music at its finest.  For our December show we will be honoring our neighbors to the North along the great divide known as Canada.  The nation has long been considered both a vast wilderness and a cultural center for the arts.  Canada’s finest singers & songwriters have influenced and contributed to the North American musical landscape.  This show will feature the songs of legendary artists including Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Cockburn, k.d. lang, Ian & Sylvia, Buffy St. Marie, Jesse Winchester, Hank Snow and Bryan Adams among others.  

Joining us as special featured guests Jay Asher and Coyote Moon.  

Jay Asher is a singer-songwriter, pianist, composer, and arranger, who has been based in Los Angeles since 1972.   As a composer, he has written music scores and songs for TV series and films, including "Zorro" "Fame" as well as scoring DVD documentaries. He has written songs that have been recorded by Julio Iglesias, Whitney Houston, and Donna Summer.  

 Coyote Moon is Orange County’s premiere Americana-roots band complete with country-rock reminiscent of Little Feat and The Flying Burrito Brothers.  Their reputation has grown since the early days of The Roadhouse Series’ genesis as they’ve wildly entertained and gathered momentum in their Orange County home-base.   

 Filling out our bill includes a few veterans of the series and among them are the finest in singer-songwriters and musicians.  They include JK Jones, Tim Tedrow, Michael Ubaldini, The Wild Mountain Mystics, Pat Nasson, and Lorin Hart.   

 Our band, The Four Strong Winds include Barrett Tagliarino, Rick Bagby, Own Goldman, and Matt Bunsen.
