On Friday December 15th, 2017, Markus Michelucci started off the evening with a feature performance of his original songs. It has been a while since we have seen or heard from Markus who has been in Europe with his group, Sound Refuge” Markus Michelucci & Sound Refuge perform at festivals and events throughout the UK such as Barnival, Greenwich Tall Ships Festival. We are glad that he agreed to do a set for us during his visit back to Canada. After the feature set, we had a full open stage, including some collaborations, some seasonal songs and a “newbie”. We also took a short break from the music, cookies and sweets to hand out some door prizes. After the Open Stage performers has all completed their songs Markus closed out the evening with a couple of seasonal numbers.
