LIVE MUSIC: Saturday / Christina Hutt 6-8 pm
Christina can fill a room with her rich, resonant, out-of-this era voice and move you with her honest, charismatic delivery. Once described as a full-bodied glass of red wine, her sound is reminiscent of the soul-stirring vocals you would have heard flowing from a transistor radio in the late 50’s. You will understand why Hutt has been dubbed “the voice” in her hometown of Muskoka, Ontario.
Join Lakeside Bala on either Friday or Saturday for their delicious Oktoberfest-inspired dish, Schweinshaxe (Crispy German Pork Knuckle with Beer Gravy), beer cheese soup and a sweets menu too.
