🎶 Hazy Shade of Winter Extended at Carter-Ryan Theatre - Daily Until April 27th

Carter-Ryan Theatre’s hit show, "Hazy Shade of Winter: The Songs of Simon & Garfunkel," has been extended through April 27 after a string of sold-out nights. Set in a cozy 75-seat theatre inside the Carter-Ryan Gallery on Main Street, it’s a laid-back, heartfelt tribute to one of folk music’s most iconic duos.

Phillip Nugent and Tyler McClaron perform favourites like "The Sound of Silence," "Cecilia," and "Bridge Over Troubled Water," all backed by musical director Morgan McKee. The setup is simple, the harmonies are tight, and the space lets you really connect with the music.

People are loving it - reviews call it warm, nostalgic, and beautifully done. The storytelling between songs adds a personal touch, and the acoustics in the space are excellent. If you’re in the Bow Valley and looking for a relaxed, music-filled evening, this one’s worth checking out. Just a heads-up: with only 75 seats, tickets go fast. More
