Peterborough-based musician, singer and songwriter, Sarah-Jayne Riley − or SJ Riley as she calls herself on stage − will kick off the Notoriously Nice November finale with a concert at the Keene Centre for the Arts on Friday, November 19th at 7 pm.
“This is a show not to be missed, especially after the release of her acclaimed single ‘Mansion of Broken Hearts’, the music video of which was filmed in a haunted house”, says Brown.

“The Keene Centre for The Arts is a groovy little ‘far out’ kinda place that offers a speakeasy style cafe bar where incense lingers and stuff is for sale like mood rings and love beads”, says Ida Brown. “We have night market cafes on Friday evenings, local bands and retro tributes appearing on Saturday nights and fashion shows on holidays where models of every age and size showcase our vintage inspired collection of band T-shirts and retro clothing”.
In the two-storied structure, upstairs is like a house party where the DJ creates a music vibe in the private green room. “Attached is a fully licensed Rose Window bar situated in the middle of a dressing room, which is stocked full of costumes you can try on. And there is a playroom for your little ones with trains and dolls for sale and a Pac-Man machine (that doesn’t need quarters)”, says Ida.
The Keene Centre for the Arts is a one-stop family fun stop away from it all, she adds.
The centre is located at 12, 1st Street, Keene, ON, K0L 2G0.
