Serena Ryder
Tuesday, March 23, 2010
Location: Meaford Hall Arts & Cultural Centre
Serena Ryder folk/acoustic/indie Tuesday March 23, 8pm $42 Serena Ryder grew up the daughter of a go-go dancer and backup singer. Given her upbringing, it's no surprise she got an early start at all of 7 years old. These days she's got two Junos under her belt, two certified Gold albums and is being compared to Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Not too shabby for a girl from small town Ontario. Ryder brings music to life with a performance that resonates in memory long after its last notes fade… Royal Wood opens for Serena… his velvety smooth vocals and skilled hands upon the piano keys will leave you wanting more. "Wood is on his way to establishing himself alongside the Canadian royalty of artists such as Sexsmith and Wainwright.” – Exclaim Magazine Presented by Meaford Hall www.serenaryder.com www.royalwood.ca
