The Basement Café Concert Series is a coffeehouse-style music event, sponsored by the Minto Arts Council twice per year.
The concert series provides a platform for a diverse selection of musical genres including blues, jazz, folk, country and rock.
Held in the basement of the Harriston Public Library, these concerts offer an opportunity for the audience to experience an up close and personal performance from top-notch Canadian and local up-and-coming musicians, and likewise, gives performers a venue to really communicate with an enthusiastic and attentive crowd.
Over the past 10 years, this concert event has featured wonderful Canadian performers. Such as TANTRiX, Cara Smith, The MacQueens, Juanita Wilkins, Stan the Pianoman, and Wendell Ferguson – to name just a few.
