On August 10th, Mono’s Taras Petryk gave a spectacular concert at Windrush Estate Winery. Like “A Complete Unknown”, the recent film about Bob Dylan’s rise to fame, this concert gave people a chance to see Petryk before predicted world acclaim.
Petryk, 17, who graduated from ODSS high school in June with a 99% average, intuitively creates strikingly original, soulful music.

In the tradition of their grandfather and great-grandfather Longinos Guerrero, who was a Mexican travelling troubadour in Texas, Renée Guerrero, her daughter Artemisia LeFay, and son Quintin Harris roamed north from New York last Sunday, all the way to the rolling hills of Hockley and sweeping vistas of Chateau Windrush.
Happy World Poetry Day! March 21 was announced by the United Nations in Paris in 1999 to promote poets around the world.

It was a delighted full house at last Sunday’s spectacular afternoon with pianist/singer/songwriter Kelly Walker, poet David Stones and songbird Rachelle Shubert. As we listened, responded and sang along together, truly we were carried to the very heart of loving life in all its moments. As David mused, “…love is the spine of everything…”
What a delight to host a sold-out crowd yesterday at Chateau Windrush as, together, we enjoyed Adi Braun live in concert! In her delightfully warm and embracing style, Canada’s internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter saluted Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney and Peggy Lee. Backed by pianist Don Breithaupt and bassist Pat Collins, what fun it was to enjoy not only her magnificent voice but also her exceptional scat singing and fine whistling!
