County Blues, with the generous financial support of the Power Workers
Union of Bruce Power, is proud to be presenting professional music
artists Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whiteley to the elementary students
of Kincardine, Ripley and Port Elgin. Whiteley and Braithwaite are award-winning Blues singers and songwriters with years of experience performing on stages across North America. Together they have developed a unique educational program, “Sugar and Gold,” that tells the story of the Underground Railroad. Braithwaite, herself, is a fourth generation Canadian whose descendants came to Canada from the American South through the Underground Railroad. She uses stories and songs to take the audience on the journey her ancestors made to reach Canada. More details are available from their website at http://www.braithwaiteandwhiteley.com/ugrr.html

Public School students joining in; and Friday afternoon at Huron
Heights Public School with Ripley-Huron Community School joining the
group. The pair will also be performing an evening concert Friday night at the Bruce Steakhouse, beginning at 7:30 p.m. |
