Years ago, Dan appeared on Bound for Glory several times. It’s great to have him back. A fine way to start 2018. Esperanceproductions.com
FEB. 4 KYLE CAREY. Please welcome back this outstanding songwriter and song finder. She’s got a distinctive voice and a way with the audience that you’ll remember. Plus a little bit of Scots Gallic, which always surprises all of us. One of a kind. Kyleannecarey.com

MAR. 4 MUSTARD’S RETREAT. Mustard’s Retreat makes you feel like you’re in your own house with a couple of marvelous musicians on the couch. Informal, very magical. Over time they’ve written more and more of their own songs, but they’ve always kept a connection to the music that’s come before. This time, maybe a trio? mustardsretreat.com

MAR. 18 ALFIE SMITH AND NICOLE CHRISTIAN. Alfie and Nicole are among Ontario’s finest singers and players. You can hear blues in what they do, and country, too. They take all kinds of songs and give them their own twists. We’ve been trying to arrange a date them on Bound for Glory for several years. Don’t miss them. alfieandnicole.com
