J. P. Cormier: Sunday, March 8, 2020. 7:30PM, Donation of $20 advance/$23 door.  Reservations required.

I have been a fan of Cape Breton singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist J.P. Cormier for over 20 years, so you can only imagine how excited I was when his agent contacted me about hosting a house concert. I have seen him perform a number of times in Scotland, but to the best of my knowledge this will be his first time in Berkeley. J.P. will be touring with his guitar and fiddle, and possibly also with a mandolin and/or banjo. This concert is not to be missed!

       Listen to some songs & tunes:

                A number of J.P.'s CDs can be streamed from https://jpcormier.bandcamp.com/ .

For further information, reservations & directions:

* e-mail reservations@sgreenberg.org
* or call 510-644-2135.

Advance payment is optional;  however, people paying at the concert must choose from any seats remaining at that time, and popular concerts tend to have very few (and isolated) seats remaining.  Reservations are required whether or not advance payment is made.  For information on paying in advance, please send an e-mail to reservations@sgreenberg.org.  If you've already made a reservation and would like to prepay via the Internet, please see http://www.sgreenberg.org/concert_tickets.htm .

House concert seating is strictly limited to 42 at each concert. You can e-mail me now with reservations for any of the house concerts on this web site.

When you make a reservation, please provide your address in addition to your name, e-mail address, and phone number to aid in giving directions.  The house is near Tilden Park, and parking is plentiful.
