Sault Ste. Marie is jumping with live music this summer and there is something for every taste.
My favorite is Susan Askwith and David Stanaway at the John Johnston house. The historic home of fur-trader John Johnston is located on Water Street, 3 blocks east of the Locks Park.
During July and August Susan and David present a program on each Tuesday and Thursday from 1 PM to 2 PM. The songs that they wrote tell the story the Johnston's family life here in Sault Ste. Marie from approximately 1797 - 1840. The program of folk-style music tells of life here when the Sault was the Northwest frontier and wilderness.
Another great live music opportunity is the Music in the Park which is held every Wednesday evening at the Locks Park. Each week a different group presents a concert that lasts 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Bring your own chair and possibly a sweater as it often gets cool as the sun goes down. The quality of the music has always been goo
d.Both of these music events are free of charge.

I loved going to the John Johnson House and listening to music in the Sault! Sue and Dave are very talented! After the music the story telling of the Johnston family makes you feel like you are back in their time. Everyone should go to this!
