"Join us for Rebecca Hennessy’s Singer-Songwriter Circle featuring Sarah Greene, Michael Herring, and Rebecca Hennessy.
On Sunday, March 15th at Tranzac, three distinct songwriting voices come together for an intimate evening of shared songs and collaboration. Throughout the night, these artists will take turns presenting original material, accompanying one another, and shaping the music in real time—an attentive, listening-forward performance grounded in story and connection.
Sarah Greene’s writing is intimate, concise, and idiosyncratically classic. Rooted in warm, country-tinged folk-rock balladry, her songs explore loneliness, vulnerability, and the tension between freedom and attachment with emotional precision.
Michael Herring—widely recognized as a JUNO-nominated double bassist—steps forward here as a vocalist and songwriter. His project Harrington has been described as a journey into the quirky mind of Michael Herring: eclectic, wry, and grounded, with finely observed details and unexpected turns.
Rebecca Hennessy’s current project places her at the centre as a narrative songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, blending jazz, roots, and poetic song. Her music is inviting and emotionally resonant, exploring connection, memory, mortality, and our shared relationship to the natural world. Her recent single Crickets offers a glimpse into this reflective body of work.
An evening of deep listening, collaboration, and songs shared in the round."
