ARTSnews October 13, 2016 4 Volume 17, Issue 40 By way of Ontario, Pat Maloney is a Canadian songwriter, a storyteller, and a serious whistler. He’s a concerned citizen, with a busted acoustic guitar and a fake bass drum. He’s a too-tall, Ottawa ex-pat, singing songs as meaningful as he can muster, with a healthy, self- defaming sense of humor. Upcoming shows at Corked Wine Bar: Ryan Cook - Thursday, October 20 Mike Plume - Thursday, October 27 Chris Colepaugh - Thursday, November 3 Ian Sherwood - Friday, November 18 Mike Biggar - Thursday, December 1 Chelsea Amber - Thursday, December 8 For more info on our music series visit musicrunsthroughit.com.
