We are so excited that professional singer and Cape Cod native, Siobhan Magnus, is performing with us at the canal concert!!! You may recognize her from her time as an American Idol contestant, but if you haven't heard her sing you are in for a real treat!

Take a look at this video of her recent performance with the Beantown Swing Orchestra of Aretha Franklin's "Think."
