Shadows and Light

Andrew White and Gillian Boucher’s appearance at the Evergreen was eagerly anticipated by those of us who had heard this amazing duo play on other occasions. We were not to be disappointed by their performance and I noted that even Andrew’s tuning of his guitar inspired enthusiastic applause! See the photo gallery of the concert here or read on for my impressions of the performance.

The show was opened for them by two Alberta based singer songwriters – James Murdoch from the Yukon and Nick Perreault who was originally from Newfoundland. They each played their own songs and accompanied each other. You can hear a track from Nick’s CD where James is also playing and singing on their photo gallery here.

Andrew played and sang several of our personal favourites including “Mysterious Ways” (which you can hear on his photo gallery), “Dangerous Mystery” and “When Christie Whelan sings” and his beautiful guitar playing had us enthralled on pieces such as “Spanish Gentleman” and “Digger’s Rag”

When the fabulous and renowned Cape Breton fiddler Gillian Boucher joined Andrew on the stage, this special combination really just took flight. Gillian’s dancing fingers complimented Andrew’s dexterity on the guitar to perfection, earning them a resounding standing ovation from the audience.

You can see the gallery of their performance and hear a track from Andrew’s CD “Andrew White Live” here.

Thanks to Andrew and Gillian as well as James and Nick for a great evening.
