Wreckless Harbour: Four-Piece Band and Vocals
Friday, November 06
12:00pm - 1:00pm
Central Library
Central - Hamilton RoomListen to live music each Friday at Noon at Central Library.
This week Wreckless Harbour takes the stage in Central Library's Hamilton Room. Wreckless Harbour (Trevor Roach, Lawr Helder, Mark Korczynski, J.J. Harley) is a Hamilton-based indie folk band whose sound blends traditional acoustic string band instrumentation with a modern, narrative-driven sensibility. Rooted in four-part vocal harmonies and a rotating mix of guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle and bass, their music draws on the storytelling traditions of classic folk while channeling the energy and textures of contemporary indie acts.

About the branch
The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
