HENRY NORWOOD + WADE FOSTER (Classic Country, Westport/Perth)
April 22 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Please Generously Tip Our Musicians
HENRY NORWOOD
Henry Norwood is a 21 year old singer/songwriter from Perth Ontario. His first passion was baseball until he held a guitar and began taking guitar lessons at the age of nine. At 11 years old, Henry began performing on stages around the Ottawa Valley and beyond. His own music has been influenced by a deep love and respect for traditional country music. His first original song Another Bottle Another Day won a Top 4 finish out of over 3000 entries in the nation wide 2013 CBC Searchlight competition. Henry is currently completing his final year of high school, performing, writing and recording new material. He is working towards the release of his first full length album in the summer of 2016. He played the massive Havelock Country Jamboree 2016!
WADE NORWOOD
It all started with a 4 year old and a plastic fiddle. Fast-forward a few decades, countless performances and multiple recordings, the fiddle isn’t plastic anymore but the love for playing it is stronger than ever.
Wade Foster, native of Perth, Ontario, has been playing music for as long as he can remember. From his roots in Celtic and Traditional music, this multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, composer and producer continues to evolve his style. His eclectic taste in music spans multiple genres, and his improvising skills incorporate this into inspired performances, of which no two are alike. This pure love of music has led him to performing with numerous artists in theaters, on live TV, at fairs and festivals across Canada, and most notably multiple performances at Ottawa Bluesfest and the National Arts Centre.
Whether Wade is leading the show or accompanying another artist, each performance is fun, inspiring, toe-tapping and tailored to each individual audience.
Wade’s first recordings as a composer can be found on his CD “Sounds Like Home”. It features original instrumental pieces of various styles using the fiddle as the lead instrument. It is available on iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify.
Wade is currently working on a new album focusing on his original music as a singer/songwriter. Look for this album to be released later in 2020.
