David Celia - Nov. 7th

From Mississauga, Ontario, we are so very pleased to present, David Celia in concert. David Celia is a world-class musician who has played for audiences all over the U.K., Germany, U.S.A. and Canada. This past summer David played in Europe including two concerts at the famous Glastonbury Festival in England. His musical style may be described as "roots-rock with hints of folk wrapped up in a pop package" (guitar, bass,drums, piano, ukelele, harmonica).  He is a musician with songwriting that covers diverse themes with passion, joyfulness, humour and real thoughtfulness (listen to "A Bug's Apocalypse"). David's performances are littered with some stunning guitar work-outs.

When:
7:30 pm
