CD Release Concert Oct 5th

Award-winning "Gathering Sparks" Duo (Jane Lewis & Eve Goldberg) Celebrate in Guelph CD Release Concert

For Immediate Release - September 19, 2019

Come to listen, and walk away singing!

On Saturday, October 5 at 8pm Guelph's Jane Lewis and Toronto's Eve Goldberg invite local friends and fans to join them in celebrating the Guelph release of their new CD  “All That’s Real” at Trinity United Church. The album comes out on Borealis Records at the end of September. Already, the lead-off song from the album, “Bringing in the Light,” has been recognized with a 2019 Folk Music Ontario “Songs From the Heart” Award in the Singer-Songwriter category.

The recording combines finely-crafted songs, captivating vocals, and compelling stories in a potent balm for troubled times. In times that cry out for love over hate, “All That’s Real” delivers. Writing together for the first time, Goldberg and Lewis brought together their passion for wordplay, strong melodies, and harmony-singing to create 11 new songs (plus one cover of a Pete Townshend classic) that will take listeners on a journey from hopeful, to reflective, to joyful and back again. Produced by Jeff Bird (Cowboy Junkies), the album includes guest appearances from Cheryl Prashker (percussion), Anne Lindsay (fiddle), Joel Schwartz (guitar), Kevin Breit (guitar), and a host of harmony singers. 

Saturday, October 5, 2019 at 8:00 pm
at Trinity United Church, 400 Stephenson Street North
$20 advance | $25 door 


About the Duo and Each Musician:

"Phenomenal songs binding the individual skills of its members together as one with rich, honeyed harmonies.” (Eric G. Thom, Penguin Eggs Magazine)

"What a delight! Great songs, great singing and lovely harmonies. I'm singing along as if I've known these songs forever." (Sharon Hampson of Sharon, Lois & Bram)

GATHERING SPARKS is the graceful collision of Eve Goldberg and Jane Lewis—musical friends who blend tight harmonies, heartfelt songs, and a love of participatory singing to create an intimate and uplifting experience. Their inclusive approach embraces folk, pop, blues and gospel influences tastefully played on acoustic guitar, piano, accordion, and ukulele. 

Eve Goldberg has lifted audiences across North America with her authentic and insightful songs and solid instrumental work on guitar and ukulele. Known for her “watercolour voice," Eve draws from a deep well of musical styles—folk, blues, country, bluegrass, old time, and jazz—with equal finesse and affection.

Jane Lewis has followed her love of words from the printing press to the spotlight with soul-bending lyrics, transcendent compositions, and crystal clear vocals. Her thoughtful piano and accordion playing, mastery of harmony, and upbeat presence add a sparkle to any stage. Much more about Jane at: http://www.janelewis.ca
As solo performers, Eve and Jane had each carved out their own niche in the folk/roots scene. Together, with their infectious mix of styles and sublime vocal blend, Gathering Sparks has made some big waves. Their debut 6-song CD was nominated for a 2014 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year, and they have since toured across Canada and the US. Whether they are belting it out a capella style, tugging on your heartstrings with a folky original, crooning a jazzy swing tune, or getting into the spirit with a gospel-inflected singalong, Gathering Sparks performances make fans out of listeners with their stellar harmonies and fine musicianship.
