Hello Ottawa and Perth area friends!
I'll be coming your way the weekend of March 21st with my duo Gathering Sparks for two concerts. This will be our first time performing in the Ottawa-Perth area since releasing our new CD "All That's Real" on Borealis Records this past fall. We are proud of the album and excited to share the new songs with you. We hope to see you there!

You will come to listen, and walk away singing. GATHERING SPARKS is the graceful collision of Eve Goldberg and Jane Lewis—musical friends who blend tight harmonies, finely crafted songs, and a love of participatory singing to create an intimate and uplifting experience. Their inclusive approach embraces folk, pop, blues and gospel influences tastefully played on acoustic guitar, piano, accordion, and ukulele.
With their infectious mix of styles and compelling vocal blend, Gathering Sparks has been making some big waves. Their debut 6-song CD was nominated for a 2014 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year, and they have become an audience favourite. Whether they are belting it out a capella style, tugging on your heartstrings with a folky original, crooning a jazzy swing tune, or getting into the spirit with a gospel-inflected singalong, Gathering Sparks performances make fans out of listeners with their stellar harmonies and fine musicianship.

"All That's Real" has been doing really well since we released it this fall. The first song on the album, “Bringing in the Light,” was recognized with a 2019 Folk Music Ontario “Songs From the Heart” Award, singer-songwriter category and it was also the #1 song on the Folk DJ chart for the month of December 2019. The album charted at #7 on the Folk Alliance International Folk DJ chart for October 2019, and #10 for the month of November 2019. We're also extremely please that "All That's Real" ended up on several radio hosts’ “best of” lists for 2019. We're grateful the album is being noticed in our little folkie corner of the world!
