From MuskokaUnlimited.com: Gina Horswood Sings Adele is set to be a powerful experience
This week Gina Horswood will be performing a concert at Trinity United Church that was eight years in the making.
Okay, maybe it didn’t take that long to get ready for the show, but it was in 2015 where the idea for Gina Horswood Sings Adele first came about.
“The idea was actually floated to me back in 2015 by Virgil Scott!” recalls Horswood, who answered questions via chat. “I was intensely pursuing my original career at the time, with the plan to release the Porcelain album the following year, so I didn’t even entertain the notion. But after a little bit of a hiatus from the music world I felt ready to sink my teeth into a new project and remembered Virgil’s idea of the Adele tribute.”
She told Dan Watson, executive director of the Huntsville Festival of the Arts, and he loved the idea. Watson also suggested having a three-piece band concert at Trinity, which Horswood was all-in for.
“After doing a Music at Noon session there last summer I couldn’t agree more,” she says. “It’s such a beautiful venue to sing in.”
Horswood describes Trinity as a treat to perform at due to wonderful acoustics that are favourable to singers.
“It really sets the tone for a listening room and attentive audience,” says Horswood. “I think it’s the perfect setting to deliver these songs and some of the stories behind them. There’s also enough room to dance in the aisle, should we feel so inclined.”
The Gina Horswood Sings Adele concert is taking place on Friday, July 7 at 8 p.m. Visit the HFA website for more information and to purchase tickets.
Honouring an icon and powerhouse singer like Adele is definitely a challenge explains Horswood, but she’s ready for it.
