The Guardian (Charlottetown)

A trio of talent

Rachel Beck, Jessica Rhaye and Graham Nicholas featured in Writers in the Round

-

Writers in the Round features songwriter­s Rachel Beck, Jessica Rhaye and Graham Nicholas sharing their songs and stories at the Milton Community Hall on Saturday, Oct. 27, 7:30 p.m.

Glowing with catchy pop hooks, Beck’s distinctiv­e piano melodies and emotive vocals are captivatin­g audiences across Canada. The P.E.I. songbird’s first single, “Reckless Heart” hit No. 1 on the CBC Music Top 20 in March of this year. Her debut, produced by Miltonvale Park native Daniel Ledwell, takes the listener on a trek across a wide emotional range — from regret and grief to wonder and joy.

Joining Beck on stage will be singer-songwriter Rhaye, winner of Music New Brunswick’s solo recording of the year award (“Song In Me”) for 2017. Unabashedl­y country with rustic roots, her vocals vocals and lush melodies, also move easily between folk and Americana.

Nicholas, a Toronto-based folk/roots/country songwriter, honed in on his concise form of storytelli­ng and refined his irreverent sense of humour with his latest album, “Dial Tones and Pretty Notes”.

Admission is $15 in advance or $20 at the door.

Tickets for can be purchased in advance at the Milton Community Hall, 7 New Glasgow Road, Route 224 in North Milton, 902566-3154, or miltoncomm­unityhall@gmail.com.
