About this concert
Tickets: https://johntrio.eventbrite.ca/
John McLachlan presents an intimate end-of-summer concert featuring songs from his new album Rhythm in my Run as well as other originals drawn from his 35 years of songwriting.
The new album features new, old, and some never recorded pieces delivered in an acoustic setting. Though “regret” may be in its title, there is only love in the recording which was done on Hornby Island “live off the studio floor” with his trio featuring Marc Atkinson on lead guitar/mandolin, and Scott White on acoustic bass.
Honesty and heart is what they will bring to the stage of the Hornby Island Hall. The show will be accompanied by images projected behind the performers that depict and bring to life many of the songs which, range from the personal and local to the historical.

John McLachlan Biography
British Columbia born folk singer/songwriter John McLachlan’s original folk songs are hand-woven from his own roots, and the history and salty air of Canada’s west coast. Over the next 20 years he toured his original songs in many corners of British Columbia—from Nazko to Kyuquot, Fort St. John to Princeton, Prince George to Vancouver— presenting hundreds of performances as community concerts and programs for schools about Canadian history. He took a school show to Saskatchewan, played folk clubs across Canada and performed in Bogotá, Colombia.
John took a hiatus from touring and worked as a graphic designer, arts administrator (BC Touring Council, Creative City Network of Canada) and arts grant coordinator before returning to music in 2014. Since then he has recorded four albums of original songs, and is in the process of releasing multiple tribute albums of Gordon Lightfoot albums from the early 1970s.
He is touring again with his one-man multimedia show (“Call it Home”) as well as a duo and/or trio show (“Early Morning Rain: the songs of Gordon Lightfoot) with multi-instrumentalist Marc Atkinson and bassist Scott White).
John calls Hornby Island (K’òmoks Traditional Territory), home.
