Matt Martin: No stranger to the stage, or the pulpit, Rev. Matthew Martin has been an Anglican priest for ten years and has been impersonating Elvis since before he was six. A true performer, Martin was the headliner in the Drayton Entertainment production of Blue Suede Shoes in 2012, and was named the Grand Champion, of the non-professional category in 2010 for his tribute of the King of Rock and Roll in Collingwood, Ontario.
MATT FINDS HIS TRUE PASSION WORKING AS THE ANGLICAN PRIEST AND CHAPLAIN AT HURON UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. MARTIN’S VOICE ALWAYS CAPTIVATES – WHETHER HE IS SINGING A CENTURY-OLD RELIGIOUS HYMN, A TOUCHING CHRISTMAS CAROL OR AN UPBEAT ROCK SONG, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE HIS SOUL IN EVERY PERFORMANCE.
Matt is also the former spiritual director at Camp Wendake, but remains an avid supporter of the program. He has decided to dedicate his talent in support of Camp Wendake. All proceeds from this evening go to the camp.
Rick Kish: Rick is several times nominated and holds the title of Forest City London Music Awards Jazz Vocalist 2019. He is honoured to be back at The Aeolian Hall for this fundraiser as the Host and guest performer! A little bit about Rick. He performs regularly at Ironwood Kitchen & Bar & The Idlewyld Inn. He appeared at the Aeolian Hall Jazz & Musical Arts Festival this past summer. He held a monthly spot at Jazz On The Thames at Michael's On The Thames from February 2019 through every possible opportunity available during the pandemic to December 2022. He tours extensively with LINK theatre & concerts as a really Retro CROONER Christmas & The Crooner Show which was seen most recently in Ingersoll at ITOPA and the Globus Theatre in Bobcaygeon, ON this past summer.
Rick has performed onstage at the Grand Theatre in London, Huron County Playhouse, Drayton Festival Theatre, Port Stanley Festival Theatre, Blyth Festival Theatre, Bluewater Summer Playhouse, and elsewhere…
He served as Artistic Director at Port Stanley Festival Theatre, The Bluewater Summer Playhouse and LINK theatre & concerts…
Camp Wendake: Camp Wendake is a one-week residential camp program for children and adults living with HIV, their families and caregivers. Camp Wendake is an amazing contradiction! People gather because of a common health concern but find freedom from focusing upon the disease for a brief time and find an opportunity to celebrate life in a community where HIV/AIDS in the norm. People may choose to attend camp in order to learn and share more about coping with their overall health and social issues. Or they may come for the rest and refreshment of a caring and understanding community.
