On Wednesday, November 13th, Hermit Woods Winery will welcome touring Canadian-American songwriter Rachel Kilgour to The Loft Listening Room stage as part of our Loft Living Room Sessions. Hosted by local singer-songwriter Katie Dobbins, this intimate evening of music and conversation makes guests feel like these artists are right in their own living room while enjoying a nice night out including a full menu and delicious wine. Tickets, which include a complimentary pre-show wine tasting, range from $12 to $18 and are available on the Hermit Woods Winery website or for purchase at the door.

The evening will begin with an opening set by award-winning New Hampshire artist Katie Dobbins, who will then invite Rachel Kilgour to join her on the couch for a couple songs and conversation about her music and passion for songwriting. The evening will culminate with a highly anticipated performance by our highly acclaimed guest artist.

About Rachel:

Canadian-American songwriter Rachael Kilgour presents her heartfelt new release, My Father Loved Me. The album was recorded in her late father’s native Ontario and was produced by JUNO-award winning and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Rose Cousins.

In the spare and often gutting language for which she is known, Kilgour gives us a complex portrait of a man seen through his daughter’s eyes. The record poses questions about belonging, inheritance, and grief and triumphantly affirms the value of one ordinary working man’s life.

On stage Kilgour expertly balances her poignant, literate songs with her quick wit, landing somewhere between a comedy special and a funeral. Listeners can expect to laugh, weep, and reflect on their own relationships with fatherhood, mortality and grief.

Kilgour was the 2015 Grand Prize Winner of the NewSong Music Competition and a 2017 Kerrville New Folk Contest Winner, and has been featured at NYC’s Lincoln Center and The Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Her oft-noted “unapologetic lyrics” (Rolling Stone) and “master crafted indie folk” sensibilities (Billboard) are on full display in this latest collection of delicately woven songs.

Don’t miss your chance to come see this artist live and hear more about his adventures, in Hermit Woods’ unique Loft Living Room show, hosted by Katie Dobbins.
