MARIPOSA FOLK FESTIVAL
*************************
It’s Too Late to Stop Now — The Music of Van Morrison is slated for Saturday, Nov. 23, 2024 at the Orillia Opera House, 1 West St. N. in downtown Orillia.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 each (includes all processing fees and taxes) and can be purchased at the Orillia Opera House box office or online at orilliaoperahouse.ca.
For November’s show, Matt Weidinger’s put together a seven-piece band, including two horns to reflect the sound for which Morrison is known. The show will be something of a retrospective of Van the Man’s extensive song catalogue, with a particular focus on the early material that was Weidinger’s introduction to Morrison’s brand of Celtic soul.
“Matt’s interpretation of Van’s music is a deeply moving personal memoir of Celtic soul. Simply marvellous. Actually fantabulous.” — Bruce Hall, Grand Rivers Blues Society
