Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Library After Dark fundraising concert series returns to the Perth & District Library with a concert featuring School House!

This summer event, offered in partnership with Stewart Park Festival, offers a chance for people who love music to see top notch artists in a unique, alternative space and support the Perth & District Library.

School House is a folk band from Ottawa. After moving in together in 2021, the three best

friends discovered that their new home was a century-old school house — inspiring the name and giving them a dedicated space to create. They were awarded Group of the Year at the 2024 Ottawa Music Awards and their debut release was named Album of the Year by Ottawa Faces Magazine.

Their sound was born around a campfire, taking turns sharing songs and joining in three-part harmony. They combine upbeat singalongs with emotive folk ballads to bring a wise, yet youthful perspective to the Canadian folk music scene. Releasing their debut album in 2023 and an Acoustic EP in 2024; the band has amassed over 500k online streams.

Doors open at 8:30 pm and music starts at 9:00 pm. You can also enjoy a beverage from the cash bar during the show, and spend intermission under the lights of the library garden!

Tickets are $30 and available for purchase online in advance at www.perthunionlibrary.ca/library-after-dark or at the door. A charitable receipt for $15 will be issued for each ticket.
