Almost Home is proud to announce a spectacular night of music in support of families with seriously ill children. Headlining this year’s event is the award-winning The Western Swing Authority (WSA), one of Canada’s most celebrated roots and swing ensembles. Known for their

tight musicianship, irresistible energy, and vintage-meets-modern sound, The Western Swing Authority blends western swing, jazz, country, and big-band influences into a style uniquely their own. Over their remarkable 16-year career, WSA has experienced many highlights including performing a private party for Bob Doyle and Garth Brooks, being nominated for the Canadian Country Music Association Group of the Year, and accepting several Country Music Association of Ontario awards. WSA has a reputation for bringing audiences to their feet, and they promise an unforgettable performance for an important cause.

Opening the night is rising singer-songwriter Savannah Shea, whose soulful vocals and heartfelt storytelling have quickly made her an artist to watch. Drawing on influences from contemporary country to folk, Savannah’s performances are known for their warmth, authenticity, and emotional connection. Her presence sets the perfect tone for an evening of world-class music with real community impact.

All proceeds from the Almost Home Benefit Concert support Almost Home, a local organization providing affordable, welcoming accommodations for families whose children are receiving medical care in Kingston. The event brings the community together to lift spirits, celebrate local talent, and raise essential funds for families when they need it most.
