🛋 Our second-last Sofa Sunday of the year is coming up with Leigh Wills (aka Bill Ricky) and Steam Mill Band! ✨️

We have been loving the incredible diversity of music this season, and the magic that happens when you get to experience live music up close and personal.

If you haven't made it to a Sofa Sunday yet, we encourage you to come out this month or next and experience it for yourself!

Tickets are FREE (with donations always gratefully accepted), so bring a friend and feel the power of live music.

We'd love to see you there! 🎶 💛 by @full_circle_festival

✨Join us for a dreamy Sunday afternoon, with music from harpist Ellen Gibling and folk duo The Dusty Halos 🎶

Ellen Gibling is a harpist based in K'jipuktuk/Halifax, Nova Scotia whose music spans classical, Irish traditional, and improvised genres. She is a band member of Many Worlds and Borrowers, as well as playing with The Bombadils, Charlie Wilson, Olivia Barrett, Hayley Ryerson, Adrianna Ciccone, The Narrows, and Jack Chen.

Ellen’s solo album The Bend in the Light (2022) was reviewed as “bold and beautiful” (Celtic Life International) and “enchanting” (Folk London). Her duo album with fiddler Adrianna Ciccone, The Pear Tree (2024), has been described as “genuine, heartfelt, and as replenishing as a spring morning” (Textura).

With celestial harmonies and intricate fingerstyle guitar, The Dusty Halos combine the textures of old time acoustic music with original songwriting. Since forming in 2022, the Halifax-based folk duo has quickly gained attention for their songcraft and intimate vocal chemistry. Weaving themes of heartbreak and longing into tuneful tapestries, The Dusty Halos explore the interplay of light and darkness, finding solace in the shadows.

Music starts at 3pm. Tickets are by donation!

It's hard to believe that nearly five years have passed since Factory Girls helped launch our very first Sofa Sundays concert series.

After their performance in October 2021, they shared these words:

"The experience was a heartwarming one, with an intimate setting and a captive audience of all ages. The community was extremely welcoming and made us feel at home. We hope to come back someday!"

Well... someday is this Sunday. 💛

We're delighted to welcome Factory Girls back to the Yellow Sofa for an afternoon of wonderful live music in the warm, intimate setting that has made Sofa Sundays such a special tradition.

📅 Sunday, August 16
🕒 Music starts at 3:00 PM
💛 Pay What You Can

Whether you've been with us since the very beginning or are discovering Sofa Sundays for the first time, we'd love to see you there. Bring a friend, settle in, and enjoy an afternoon of great music and great company. taken in Avon River Heritage by @full_circle_festival

🛋 Next up on the sofa are @factorygirls.band and @kenvoitamusic

Factory Girls is steeped in the spirit of Appalachian folk music, bringing the warmth of a vocal firelight with songs to soothe and disturb.

Growing up in the mountains of northern Arizona, Ken Voita brings a subtle poetry to the western music he was raised on. A lifelong songwriter and wanderer, his songs conjures up a life of heartbreak, joy, loneliness, and beauty.

Join us August 16th for an afternoon of soul-soothing.

Music starts at 3pm and tickets are by donation!
