RavenWood Music Club Presents Lily Monaghan

Published February 1, 2024

The RavenWood Music Club is once again set to deliver an exceptional musical experience to the local community. For its fifth event, the club is featuring the talented Lily Monaghan, a singer-songwriter known for her refusal to be confined to a single musical genre. This has earned her a reputation for delivering performances filled with variety and surprise, catering to a wide range of musical tastes.

Lily Monaghan's Upcoming Performance

Monaghan will take the stage at the Strathcona County Museum and Archives on the evening of Friday, February 9. Attendees can anticipate a unique atmosphere thanks to Monaghan's dynamic approach to her craft. Having overcome significant stage fright early in her career, Monaghan now thrives in the live performance environment, cherishing the intimate connection that acoustic sets foster between the artist and the audience. Monaghan will offer a combination of her original recordings, fresh tracks, covers, and engaging storytelling, ensuring a memorable night for all. Her set is described as cozy and personal, emphasizing the power of lyrics and music to move listeners—often to tears.

A Platform for Local Talent

The RavenWood Music Club's commitment to showcasing local artists has seen it present a variety of talents in its previous events. From offering a folk club ambiance to increasing excitement for the larger RavenWood Music Festival, the club has successfully sold out its music nights and is considering expanding its schedule. Bill Roberts, the president of the Music Society of Strathcona County, noted the success of the club in reaching its goals. This growth is a testament to the flourishing local music scene and the community's support.

As anticipation builds for the upcoming performance, the event promises to exhibit not just Monaghan's wide-ranging musical style but also contribute to the elevation of the local arts scene. Tickets are available in advance for a relaxed evening of music, conversation, and refreshment on February 9, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and performances beginning at 7 p.m.
