Outdoor Concert Stage - Live & Intimate

ES:MO is Elizabeth Shepherd and Michael Occhipinti, two imaginative musicians who create music that is uniquely their own. 

 ES:MO fuses a love of songwriting with the great musicianship they’re known for as perennial Juno Award nominees (individually Michael and Elizabeth have a combined 19 JUNO nominations) and veterans of Canada’s music scene.

Michael Occhipinti’s huge palette of sounds and versatile skills has made him one of Canada's most admired guitarists, and pairing his talents with Elizabeth Shepherd’s soulful and ethereal voice and keyboard work stunned listeners on their debut The Weight of Hope, which received a 2022 JUNO Award nomination.  

 ES:MO 2nd album SUNSHINE IN MY BONES has just been released.

Conjuring a unique but universal language from that most ubiquitous of instruments, the acoustic guitar, Tony McManus has both extended and transcended the parameters of contemporary Celtic music. Ranked by peers and predecessors alike alongside the guitar world’s all-time greats, his fiendishly dexterous, dazzlingly original playing draws on traditions from the entire Celtic diaspora – Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Galicia, Asturias, Cape Breton, Quebec – along with still further-ranging flavours, such as jazz and east European music. Long applauded for his uncanny ability to transpose the delicate, complex ornamentation characteristic of traditional bagpipe or fiddle tunes – even the phrasing of a Gaelic song – onto his own six strings, McManus is increasingly being acknowledged also as a pioneering figure in bridging the realms of Celtic music and other guitar genres.
