The Family Name with Anya Perry - Songs for a Winter's Night

Join Maple Music Studios for the first annual Songs for a Winter's Night: an evening of original music and Christmas classics featuring The Family Name and Anya Perry.
The Family Name are carving out a place in the Eastern Ontario folk scene. Still early in their journey, the duo leans into that newness — bringing a sense of immediacy and openness to their live shows. Their interplay of rhythmic guitar, delicate mandolin, and sibling harmony lands somewhere between front-porch folk and modern indie acoustic. Their songs feel lived-in from the first listen and their banter leaves no question that they speak their minds honestly.
Opening the evening is Anya Perry: a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter, Perry is the founder of Maple Music Studios and a longtime community music builder, directing Merrickville's Voices of the Village community choir. With a background that spans major stages and deep local roots, she’ll share her original music — heartfelt, crafted songs shaped by her passion for sound and connection.
The evening will feature a fundraiser for the North Grenville Public Library's Musical Instrument Lending Library (MILL). The MILL provides musical instruments on loan to library members, especially children and youth, in order to support accessible music education and build life skills through the love and practice of music. All proceeds from food and coffee sales, along with the auction of a live painting, will support the MILL.
Community Collaborations - More Details Coming Soon!

Snacks will be provided by Violets on Main.
A painting created by Maureen McAuliff during the show will be auctioned at the end of the night.
