Soul Filter, Gordon Belsher headline Tiny Island Concert Series
The online performances continue on May 17 with Brandon Howard Roy and John MacPhee
Music P.E.I.’s Tiny Island Concert Series continues today with live-streamed performances by Soul Filter (8 p.m. AST) and Gordon Belsher (8:30 p.m. AST).
Soul Filter is an emerging rock band from Summerside that blends rock, pop, blues and folk with emotive vocals and empowering lyrics to create a soulful contemporary sound. Fronted by the husband and wife duo of Karen and Mike Penton, the group’s debut album, A Minor Conspiracy, was nominated for Music P.E.I.’s 2020 rock recording of the year.
Belsher has toured Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Europe, Australia and Japan as an accompanist and featured vocalist with fiddlers Richard Wood and Cynthia MacLeod. His solo recordings include his own compositions alongside covers of East Coast songwriters, Irish medleys and fresh acoustic takes on 1960s pop tunes.
The music continues on Sunday, May 17, with performances by Brandon Howard Roy (8 p.m.) and John MacPhee of Paper Lions (8:30 p.m.).
With his music, Roy serves up tasty pop hooks as appetizers, brings out some of the highest notes on P.E.I. for dessert and presents a main course that is a journey of radical self-acceptance.
MacPhee is a member of Paper Lions, a world-touring, multi-award-winning Indie Pop band from Prince Edward Island.
