Happy spring!
On Friday, May 2nd at 8:00 p.m., Ebony & Ivory+2 will be performing at the Stirling Festival Theatre in Stirling, Ontario (northwest of Belleville). The theatre was built in 1927 as a community-service building and, in addition to a 436-seat auditorium, included the Police Department and jail cells. Significant renovations, the dedication of countless volunteers over the years, and the efforts of renowned director/choreographer Caroline Smith, have enabled the Stirling Festival Theatre to become a major Canadian Arts Presenter for the past 10 years. For this performance, Andrew and Fred will be joined by George Koller on Bass and Wilson Laurencin on Drums. Join Ebony & Ivory+2 for Rhythm and Ragtime. Thanks to Caroline Smith for bringing Ebony & Ivory+2 to Stirling.


Artown in Reno, Nevada



On July 7th of this year, Ebony & Ivory+2 will be performing at the prestigious Artown Festival in Reno, Nevada. Started in 1996, Artown is an annual arts festival organized by the Reno city council.

More than 80 organizations and businesses offer about 300 visual, performing, and humanities events in about 50 locations city-wide, during the entire month of July. Approximately 285,000 people attend the festival annually. Ebony & Ivory is proud to be a part of this major festival.

Joining Andrew and Fred will be Gordon Peeke on drums (from Los Angeles) and Chris Golden on bass (from Albuquerque). Thanks to Beth McMillan and Prudence Wildman for arranging this appearance of Ebony & Ivory at the Artown Festival.
