The Forgive-me-nots: Sunset Jazz at Glenaladale

The Forgive-me-nots return this month with a pair of relaxed, accessible live shows at the Glenaladale Schoolhouse, presenting Acoustic Jazz at Sunset on May 9 and May 16.

Featuring ECMA Award-nominated guitarist Rob Drew and the smooth vocals of Harmony Wagner, the ensemble is known for paring down world-famous jazz classics into their most intimate, listenable form. Musically, audiences can expect a mix of jazz standards made famous by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Julie London, Billie Holiday, Anita O’Day, Amy Winehouse, and more.

Each event will feature a completely different set list and a sing-along song—“Georgia” by Hoagy Carmichael on May 9 and “Cheek to Cheek“ by Irving Berlin on May 16.

The Glenaladale Schoolhouse—located 22 minutes from Charlottetown—offers a stunning view of Tracadie Bay. The shows are scheduled to coincide with the sun sinking directly behind the musicians to provide a natural backdrop as the light shifts throughout the performance.

Seating will be cabaret style, encouraging folks to get up and dance if the feeling moves them, partake in the licensed cash bar and goodies offered up by the Schoolhouse Cafe, step out to watch the moonrise on the deck, or explore the nuances of the facility.

With limited seating, reserving tickets in advance is encouraged by emailing info@glenaladalepei.com, but tickets will be cash only at the door.

Doors open at 7:30 pm. Shows start at 8 pm. The venue includes wheelchair-accessible washrooms and free on-site parking at 257 Blooming Point, Tracadie Cross. For updates, follow @ The Forgive-me-nots on Facebook.
