What a rewarding weekend! What more could you ask for than two stages of fabulous music, a bucolic setting in the middle of a picturesque Ontario town offering us a chance to meet and make new friends with some really wonderful people?

 

In the course of any given day, we usually only have conversations with musicians via email, phone, text or web chat. Rarely do we meet people face to face so were looking forward to setting up at the Annual Stewart Park Festival in Perth, Ontario. It gave us a chance to introduce our hand crafted guitars to a whole new audience as well as get one-on-one feedback. MacKenzie & Marr Guitars donated a solid wood acoustic guitar to Stewart Park Festival volunteers. The guitar was drawn during the wrap dinner at the end of the Festival.

 

This year we had the added pleasure of having both Irish Mythen and Steve Poltz treating us to an impromptu concert on a park bench outside the Crystal Palace at the volunteers' party. They were kind enough to let us video their performances so that you too can enjoy their generosity and talent.

 

If you've never visited Perth or (even worse!) never attended the Stewart Park Festival, now is the time to mark it off in your 2017 calendar. We'll be back with our solid wood guitars but more importantly, so will a host of fabulous musicians and a team of gung-ho volunteers.
