About this Event
Experience the magic of Murray McLauchlan, one of Canada’s most celebrated singer-songwriters! With an incredible 50-year career, 20 albums, and 11 Juno Awards, his iconic songs—like "Farmer’s Song," "Down by the Henry Moore," "Whispering Rain," and "Sweeping the Spotlight Away"—have become Canadian standards.
Beyond music, Murray is a talented painter, author, actor, and radio host, with an Honourary Doctor of Laws and a place in The Order of Canada. After years with Lunch At Allen's, he’s hitting the road again with his critically acclaimed album Hourglass, blending beloved classics with fresh new tunes.
Murray believes that “music is a communicative art,” and his concerts are like a roving gallery where fans can connect with his storytelling. As one fan noted, "It felt like a group of friends listening to tales from the son who hit the road to share his music ... special, memorable, and warm."

about the organizer
Meaford Hall
In 1909, the town of Meaford eagerly gathered at the new Town Hall and Opera House on Nelson and Sykes Streets. The construction of this grand building, designed by local architect James Ellis, marked a significant moment for the community. As the cornerstone was laid in 1908, Mayor J.W. Horsley proudly declared that Meaford Hall would be a symbol of progress and prosperity for generations to come.
Over the years, Meaford Hall served multiple purposes, including housing the council chambers, town offices, courtroom, library, and community meeting spaces. However, it was the second-floor Opera House that truly captured the town's heart. The Opera House became a cultural hub, hosting plays, graduations, concerts, and famous speakers.
The building endured some neglect but was ultimately saved through a restoration project in the early 2000s, funded by grants and community efforts.
Today, Meaford Hall Arts & Cultural Centre stands as an icon of downtown Meaford, a testament to the town's history and commitment to arts and culture.
