FUTURE EVENTS
A Musical Evening With Entertainer & Singer/Songwriter - Nigel E. Harris
— —
North of England-born, Nigel's guitar and ukulele skills, soul-fueled voice and deft song craft have garnered local acclaim around the Ottawa area. His 2012 original album release 'Evolutions, Revelations and Illusions' was well received. Nigel continues to release singles online through CDbaby, with new material due out June 2021.
He runs 'Musical Wellness' (musicalwellness.com) which he attests creates 'love made visible', the positive energy shift visible available for audiences through the power of music. These days, he gives daily virtual concerts to the special needs community and teaches ukulele and guitar to his devoted students throughout Canada.
Nigel returns to 'The Bridge' for an evening of eclectic music on guitar, ukulele and cavaquinho, delivering his usual humorous onstage banter.

ADD A TIP to help us keep making music!
(PHOTO PRE-COVID) Musical Wellness has been raising the spirits of the elderly and vulnerable through music since 2003. Since March 2020 we have not been able to operate in our usual locations and have reduced our programming accordingly. We are teaching and holding some sessions virtually and welcome any tips you can spare. Cheers Nigel
