Grey Roots Museum and Archives presents a unique concert series featuring a variety of talented, creative artists from the local area. Familiar, long-standing performers mixed with exciting up-and-comers share their original takes on life in Grey-Bruce and the world beyond. All in the beautiful acoustic space of the intimate Grey Roots Theatre. 

Our Roots Are Showing, Grey Roots’ first-ever spring concert series, features one performance a month on a Thursday evening from March to June 2023. Start time for all performances is 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Josh Ritchie is a born performer. Ever since he could stand, he’s had a guitar in his hands and songs in his bones. As a performer, he’s eclectic, charming, and captivating. As a songwriter, he’s poignant and elegant, showing a wisdom beyond his years. Ritchie admires music with purpose, and, as a young, ambitious person of colour, he takes pride in weaving social issues into his work. This, combined with Ritchie’s infectious charisma and significant musical chops, makes him a complex artist that will leave you wanting more. His unique brand of story-driven art-rock will move you, inspire you and, most importantly, have you dancing and singing along.

In Ritchie’s young career he’s enjoyed significant achievements on and off stage. He has released two successful independent albums, the first being featured in the CBC Searchlight Top 100 list; the second going on to get features on “CBC Ontario Morning” and the “Key of C,” as well as being streamed thousands of times internationally. Ritchie’s commitment to artistic integrity combined with his larger-than-life rock energy make him an exhilarating up-and-coming act that you won’t want to miss.
