SUMMARY:Live Music: Paige Ballagh & Kale Penny!
DESCRIPTION:This Wednesday\, join us for Stratford-based folk musicians\, Paige Ballagh & Kale Penny\, visiting on their Maritime tour! \nOntario-born singer\, songwriter\, and poet Paige Ballagh performs original folk-pop rooted in storytelling\, warmth\, and melodic ease. Joined by her multi-instrumentalist brother Mike Ballagh and her husband\, CFMA-winning guitarist Kyle Waymouth\, she delivers an inviting\, grounded live show shaped by performances across Canada\, the U.S.\, and Ireland — from theatres and festival stages to Ireland tours and Florida’s Kravis Center. A former Summerfolk Youth Discovery Artist\, Paige is also the author of Waking Up\, an Amazon #1 best-selling poetry collection (2022). Her album Shoes Untied and EP Oh Maggie — recorded with Juno Award–winner Jake Charron — showcase her clear\, expressive voice and lived-in songwriting. Balancing heartfelt lyricism with humour and human connection\, Paige’s work bridges house-concert intimacy with festival-stage presence.  \nKale Penny is a west coast musician and actor based in Stratford\, Ontario. In 2017\, he released his debut EP\, The Tracks\, a collection of heartfelt songs that later inspired a stage adaptation by Mark Weatherley with Here for Now Theatre Company in 2021\, starring Kale and his wife Lauren Bowler. Known for his honest lyrics and engaging performances\, Kale’s music is delighting audiences around the world. His recent singles\, You Deserve Love and Work It Out\, are lauded as music that feels like a hug\, receiving radio spins in Canada and the UK\, as well as being streamed in 60 countries. He has also racked up millions of views on Instagram and TikTok in the past 6 months with his viral too high/too low song series\, combining vocal talent with self-effacing humour. His latest single Gonna Be Somebody is a folk/pop/EDM collaboration with Swedish House Producer Henwall\, with 25000 streams on Spotify in the first 3 weeks\, and spins on Swedish and German radio. \nWhen: Wednesday\, September 23rd 2026 @ 6pm\nWhere: Trident Booksellers & Cafe\, 1256 Hollis St\, Halifax
