Two artists, one night! Tom Richardson and Aaron Bilodeau
On June 14th two different local talents, Tom Richardson & Aaron Bilodeau will take over the PCA for a double concert.
Singer Tom Richardson who specializes in 1970s style folk, left music in his early career to focus on a more typical and traditional lifestyle but has since found his way back to music. His music can be compared to James Taylor and Glen Campbell with a soft acoustic vibe. His comforting tone will serenade you through stories of love and life.
The multi-talented Aaron Bilodeau has a much more upbeat vibe and will take you on an exciting ride through electronic indie funk. Bilodeau can play numerous instruments and has four solo albums! Aaron will be sure to captivate the audience with his incredible talent.
The show will take place June 14 at 7:30 p.m. and information can be found at https://parisharts.square.site/product/6-14-24-tom-richardson-aaron-bilodeau/179
