Anne Walker

Historic Coulson Church, 301 Horseshoe Valley Rd. W, Coldwater

Anne Walker turns stories into songs. Then the poetry and melody deliver those stories straight into the heart. On Sunday, September 27 she'll be sharing some of these stories at her annual concert as part of The Coulson Concerts. She'll feature songs from her five recordings, some from her extensive unpublished catalog, and a few new surprises.

Anne was raised on a small farm right there at Coulson and these roots in a country life are evident in the contemplative nature of her music and the quiet strength of her words. Often drawing comparisons Kathy Mattea, Connie Kaldor and Anne Murray, Anne's rich voice lends itself well to the variety of her material. And variety there is--a pleasing blend of folk, country, ballads and blues. And there is humour! Anne's performances, while intimate and thought-provoking, are buoyed up by her sense of joy and her lively wit.

Anne Walker and Paul Mills

Historic Coulson Church, 301 Horseshoe Valley Rd. W, Coldwater

Anne will be sharing the stage with Paul Mills, who produced two of her recordings. This final concert of "The Coulson Concerts" inaugural season will be a lovely collaboration.

Paul Mills has been part of the Canadian folk music scene and recording industry for over forty years. He has produced close to 200 albums working with artists such as the late Stan Rogers (all but one of Rogers’ albums were produced by Mills), Sharon, Lois and Bram, Terry Kelly, Ron Hynes and John Allan Cameron. He is a founding partner of the “Borealis Recording Company”. He owned and operated his own production company and recording studio called “The Millstream” for 20 years. Paul is a picker, a.k.a. Curly Boy Stubbs, and one of the finest from back in the day. Yet, he approaches music as a producer, always looking for and finding the tasteful ways to make the song – whatever song – just, better.
