2026 Winter Concert Series



Get ready to shake off the winter chill! We are thrilled to invite you to the 2026 Winter Concert Series at Crescent Hill Acres. We’ve curated a lineup of incredible local talent so you don’t need to travel far for world-class entertainment.

Here is what we have in store for you:

Friday February 27, 2026: The Songwriters’ Circle Settle in for an intimate evening of raw talent and storytelling featuring three distinct voices:

  • Hayden Mellon: Known for hosting the Tin Fiddler Open Mic, Hayden brings soul-stirring folk melodies and a unique twist on crowd favorites.

  • Valley Gilhuly: A true blue-collar troubadour, Valley delivers a stripped-down performance of blues, country, and rock, channeling influences like John Prine and Gord Downie.

  • Jared Parke: Stepping away from the thunderous drums of his rock band Strange Times, Jared presents a softer side, performing personal, acoustic renditions of his original music.

Join us for a rare, collaborative evening as three of the region’s most respected voices take the stage together for a Songwriters’ Circle.

Unlike a traditional concert, these three artists will share the stage simultaneously—trading songs, sharing the stories behind their lyrics, and jumping in on each other's melodies. It’s an unscripted, "behind-the-curtain" look at the music, where the roar of the amplifiers is replaced by the resonance of acoustic strings and raw vocal harmony.

The Circle

  • Hayden Mellon: The soulful heartbeat of Sarnia’s music scene. As the long-time host of the Tin Fiddler’s Open Mic, Hayden is a master of community and connection. He brings a folk-soul sensibility and a powerful voice that anchors the circle with warmth and authenticity.

  • Valley Gilhuly: Bringing the grit of the Ontario road, Valley’s "blue-collar blues" offer a real-world perspective on life and love. Influenced by legends like Gord Downie and John Prine, he’ll be stripping back his usual high-octane performance to share raw demos and the stories that inspired them.

  • Jared Parke: Usually found fronting the rock band Strange Times, Jared steps into the circle to show a different side of his artistry. Swapping "thunderous drums" for an acoustic guitar, he will deliver personal, reimagined versions of his rock catalog alongside brand-new, unreleased material.
