Photo Review: VANCAMP, I, The Mountain, and Kay Silver @ Gordon Best
Before the ice storm hit, spirits were high above The Only Cafe, up in the Gordon Best Theatre, where Peterborough Folk Fest alumni VANCAMP, I, The Mountain, and Kay Silver performed a sold out show on March 28, which was sponsored by The Peterborough Folk Festival.
We really enjoyed the chance to go back up to the Gordon Best for another show. It's been awhile! (It's smaller then I remember.)
Check out the gallery below of all the acts.
Kay Silver
Kay Silver took the stage first, with her partner Nathan Truax. This was her debut show under the moniker Kay Silver. (Take a look at out Meet & Greet Interview with her!)











I, The Mountain
I, The Mountain, while no longer based in Peterborough, shared stories of busking in front of The Whistle Stop (RIP) and really cutting their teeth in PTBO. They wouldn't be the band they are today if it wasn't for our little city!













VANCAMP
The headliner for the night was Peterborough Folk Fest's emerging artist for 2024, VANCAMP. During their high energy set they welcomed on guests Tristan Konkle of the band Tapes In Motion as well as the legendary Melissa Payne.
