Friday, January 22, 2027 showcases The Co-Conspirators, a folk and more duo based in Quebec, at 7:30pm at Fiddler's Dream Coffeehouse, 1702 East Glendale Avenue, Phoenix AZ 85020, $10, KN95+ masks required and provided free. Doors open 7pm. A brief history of The Co-Conspirators:
The Co-Conspirators is a Hemmingford, QC based duo playing folk/singer-songwriter music with elements of country, rock, blues, gospel, bluegrass, spiritual, and general roots music. With heavy emphasis on vocal harmonies, this duo had been compared to The Weavers, Ian and Sylvia Tyson and Richard and Linda Thompson. They perform mostly original music along with some traditional and contemporary covers.
Founded in 2012 by singer/songwriter/guitarist Will Richards, The Co-Conspirators really came into being when Richards met Katherine Simons and they began performing together. Simons comes from a very musical family and is a classically trained french horn player and percussionist. Her pure, angelic voice stands in contrast to the more raw style of Richards'. Mostly performing as a duo, they do occasionally add various instruments available to them such as bass, drums, percussion, flute, clarinet, lead guitar, violin, cello, harmonica, banjo, auto harp, and vibraphone. Described as modern day troubadours, The Co-Conspirators have performed at hundreds of house concerts, folk societies, festivals, seniors and community centres, bars, and restaurants.
The Co-Conspirators have released 4 albums to date, "Shadowing the Organ Tuner" (with full band), "The Unreliable Narrators" (a duo album of originals), and their 3rd album, "Half a Tank of Gas and a Full Case of Beer" (a Fred Eaglesmith Tribute), was release in July 2023.
“War Is A Racket and Other Irrefutable Truths" is a collection of anti-war, protest, social justice and labour rights songs. It was released in January 2025, when they also undertook their first USA tour, with 17 shows from Washington DC to Texas and points in-between. They continue to tour as much as possible.
We will have coffee (strong and fabulous!), teas, Boxed Water, sodas and cocoa! Our commitment to inclusion, community care, and clean air events continue, please join us as we celebrate our very special 40th Anniversary year of showcasing acoustic music, poetry, and much more in our intimate, listening room space.
