Hi everybody,
I am writing this time to plug the Lunenburg Sessions’ Songwriters’ Circle. I am one of three composers who will be participating, the others being Nick Jeffrey and Kristen Murray, local artists who I understand concentrate largely in the folk idiom. We’ll be playing original music and sharing some insights about the practice of composing.
I’ll be playing songs of various styles. Two of them were recently world-premiered at the Halifax Feast (during my cabaret with Steve Heisler): my own entry in the folk idiom, “Generic Office Work Folk Song”, and a song about the popular social website twitter.com, entitled “#TwitterSucks”. Of course, there will be some official world premiering happening at this show as well. I’ll also be performing a few numbers by my dad, Chris Webb, who has inspired me in the field of songwriting.
The Songwriters’ Circle will be held this coming Tuesday, the 17th of November, 7:30pm at the Lunenburg Academy (my elementary alma mater). It’s $10 ($8 if you become a member, which is $5/year), though I’m thinking maybe there are also deals for children or families.
For more info, you can check out the local newspapers’ website story or the Lunenburg Sessions’ blog:

P.S. As the number of local gigs I plug increases, it occurs to me that some of my far-flung contacts might be feeling a bit neglected. Rest assured that I intend to get some more media on the ol’ website in the not-too-distant future for everyone to enjoy. In the meantime, if you’re not local to South Shore/Halifax area and you’re looking to keep the emails in your inbox down, drop me a line and I can put you in a separate mailing list so you’ll only get my newsletters that include some web or other non-localized content.
