Upcoming Events
artConnect is proud to present the acoustic blues of
Big Train
Saturday, May 29th, 6:30 pm
Harrison Memorial Cultural Centre
16074 Crawford Creek Road, Crawford Bay
Big Train is Lonnie Glass and Daniel Morel, two seasoned and highly acclaimed musicians who know their way around a great story, a comfortable vibe and a hot performance. Together, Lonnie & Daniel’s performances are unique and highly original, infusing jazz and blues into quirky rhythmic tones, with poetic lyrical stories reminiscent of John Prine & Leonard Cohen. Mix in a quart of Tom Waits, a pint of Louis Armstrong and a dash of Cookie Monster, and you’ll get Lonnie’s unique vocals combining with Big Train’s quirky acoustic vibe.
Lonnie Glass, a singer/songwriter hailing from Toronto, has been a professional musician for over six decades. He’s an eclectic performer whose vocals & percussive guitar rhythms have become his signature. Lonnie is a prolific writer and has over 250 songs registered to SOCAN.
Daniel Morel, born in Montreal, left home at 16 to travel and busk the cities of our home and native land. Daniel plays with an authenticity and rawness that recalls the unforgiving life on the streets of many a Canadian city.
