Dynamic female trio
Courtney Hogan, Keelin Wedge and Peggy Clinton together on stage at Emerald Ceilidh
For the first time ever, Courtney Hogan will be hosting two of western P.E.I.’s most popular musicians on the stage this Friday evening as she welcomes Keelin Wedge and Peggy Clinton.
Each week Hogan calls up some of her musical friends to join her on stage, and this week brings two of her favourite women with Keelin Wedge and Peggy Clinton.
“We have never played on the stage together, and in the true tradition of a P.E.I. kitchen party, everything is completely unrehearsed which speaks volumes of the talent that I’m lucky enough to share a stage with,” says Hogan.
Originally from St. Louis, Wedge has gained ground as an multi-instrumentalists. Her talents stretch over various different music genres and have earned her a spot on P.E.I. bands like Renegade, Harmony, Fluffy Little Cowboys, and most recently with Fiddlers’ Sons.
She launched her own CD in which she played all instruments and recorded at her own studio.
Peggy Clinton is known for her upbeat, carefree and lively performances. Her latest CD was nominated for three P.E.I. Music Awards and won the Weekend Warrior of the Year award.
A kitchen party wouldn’t be the same without a stepdancer, so Hogan welcomes her close friend Kristyn Visser to join the other ladies on stage with her fast foot work. A night of fiddling, singing and dancing will take place Sept. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at the air-conditioned and licensed Emerald Boxcar Pub & Grill. Admission is $10 at the door.
