A Canadian Portrait in Three Dimensional Fibre Art features a new body of work by textile artist Anna Hergert. The work captures Canada’s diversity from British Columbia’s west coast to the country’s eastern point Cape Spear, Newfoundland.

Compelled …reflects personal impressions while traveling on and off the Tans-Canada Highway, internalizing the breathtaking scenery and in turn portraying selected virtues and shortfalls of each province visited.

Compelled…captures these experiences in fibre and stitch.

Compelled…incorporates materials and supplies that are repurposed to add interest whenever appropriate while at the same time bringing into consciousness the importance of reusing and preserving nature for future generations.

The One and Only

 

Fred Eaglesmith

 

 

 

 

Fred Eaglesmith

 


 
The New Yorker magazine said it best: “If you’re missing Fred Eaglesmith, you’re really missing out.” An award-winning and acclaimed music auteur of the highest order, he has forged a singular and distinctive legacy with his songs, recordings, live performances, achievements and impact unlike that of anyone else in contemporary music. And done so as a fiercely independent and original artist through the sheer power of the music he creates.
 
His 17 albums over the last three decades — many of them released on his own label — have consistently evoked critical raves, and he’s been compared to a broad blue-ribbon list of musical icons. His fellow songwriters regularly record his songs and sing his praises. He hosts a number of music festivals across North America, where he plays hundreds of dates a year in addition to touring Europe and Australia. Devoted fans follow him from one show to another to savor what one reviewer calls the “fury and fun” of his concerts. His releases consistently hit the upper reaches of the Americana charts, and he’s the only Canadian to ever write a No. 1 bluegrass hit. His songs have even become part of the course curriculum at two colleges, and the paintings he creates when not making music have been shown in numerous prestigious galleries.
 
His latest album, 2008’s Tinderbox, amply displays the qualities that have made Eaglesmith a true cult phenomenon. Nominated for a Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year as well as making the short list for The Polaris Prize, the Top 10 Americana chart album explores spirituality, faith, life, love, labor and more within a full-blooded musical and lyrical experience that draws from folk, country, rock, gospel, old-time music, bluegrass and even spoken word to create a stunning contemporary roots music all its own. It’s been hailed as a “masterwork” (Philadelphia Inquirer), “milestone” and “one of the best albums of last year” (San Jose Metro) as well as “exceptional” (Americana Roots), “beautiful” (Ink 19), “magical” (Houston Press), “magnificent” (Rave), “hypnotic” (Santa Barbara News Press), “epic in scope and cinematic in effect” (Guelph Mercury) and “a deep, sad and masterful album that transcends genre and time. It is Tom Waits meets Pink Floyd meets Hank Williams” (Calgary Herald).
 
Reviews of Tinderbox have also likened Eaglesmith to Bruce Springsteen and Woody Guthrie as well Texas singer-songwriter heroes Guy Clark, Steve Earle and Ray Wylie Hubbard (who says that as far as songwriters go, Eaglesmith “may be the best”) and even revered author James Agee to go alongside such previous critical comparisons as John Prine, Link Wray, T Bone Burnett, Del Shannon and, in his live shows, even Led Zeppelin. He followed the album by crisscrossing America and Canada to rapturous audience receptions as well as similar response on tours to Holland, Belgium, Great Britain and Australia.
 
Eaglesmith comes by his exceptional musicality and lyrical command naturally and honestly, through dedication to his craft and delivery and building his following from the grassroots upwards ever since he left the family farm at age 15 to become an itinerant budding troubadour. His life story could in fact be the subject of one of his songs, which is one reason why Eaglesmith has such a deft touch for finding the literary significance within the lives of seemingly common people and rendering their tales, thoughts and feelings with profound humanity and sensitivity alongside a knack for creating a contextual sense of time and place that resonates with reality.
 
Hailed by the Philadelphia Inquirer for his “devastatingly good, economical songwriting,” and noted by the Arizona Daily Star as “a prolific singer/songwriter often hailed as a genius at his craft,” Eaglesmith has had his songs recorded by such notable fellow songwriters as Toby Keith, The Cowboy Junkies, Chris Knight, Kasey Chambers, Mary Gauthier, Todd Snider and Dar Williams as well as bluegrass stars James King (who took Eaglesmith’s “Thirty Years of Farming” to the top of the bluegrass charts) and Ralph Stanley II, and has been the subject of three tribute albums. Martin Scorsese and James Caan have used his compositions in film projects, and Keith included Eaglesmith’s recording of “Thinking ‘Bout You” in his film “Broken Bridges” and its soundtrack CD. “His canon of well over 1,000 songs is stunning,” notes the New Brunswick Daily Gleaner.
 
In live performance, Eaglesmith and his band “rock like punks on a mission.” and deliver “a truly timeless brand of primitive rock’n’roll [that is] exactly like the sort of music you dream of hearing in some crowded, hot, beery bar near closing time,” observes Amazon.com in reviews of his live albums. Onstage he is also a sharp between song raconteur whose tales and observations are as keen and compelling as his songs and frequently as hilarious as the best stand-up comedians. For many years running, he has hosted the annual Roots on the River festival in Vermont, the Fred Eaglesmith Texas Weekend at Gruene Hall (the mother church of the Lone Star State music scene) and two more yearly festivals in Canada. His youthful travels hopping freight trains inspired the Roots on the Rails rolling music festivals, for which he currently hosts two annual rail trips that ride everywhere from scenic and historic narrow gauge lines in the American West to, this last year, into the Canadian arctic.
 
Through it all, Eaglesmith remains modest and resolutely hard working. He also gives generously of his time and talents to such causes as his own fundraising initiative to equip migrant farm workers with bicycles, reflectors and safety devices, Reflections, as well as being a spokesman, along with Bono and Alanis Morisette, for Oxfam’s Make Trade Fair campaign. He also does charity work for The Schizophrenia Society of Canada, The Fur and Feather Wildlife Center, The Equestrian Association for the Disabled, World Vision International and conservation efforts near where he lives in Southern Ontario.
 
“I have the weirdest career in the world, a little tiny career that works so well,” Eaglesmith concludes of the artistic niche he has carved out for himself. “I’m just so lucky and so fortunate, I try not to take it for granted.”

Straight from Applause Theatre

 

"Don & Debby Do the 70's"

 

 

Musical Theatre Presented by Applause Theatre – Don and Debby do impersonations. Well, technically they do one impersonation. Don does John Travolta, Debbie does Olivia Newton-John and together they work as a well-oiled machine, or rather, well-GREASEd machine. They are about to hit the big-time impersonator circuit with several other acts in a huge tribute to the music of the 1970s. There’s Abba impersonators, Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton impersonators and even a Fleetwood Mac tribute band. Don and Debby have mortgaged the house and put their futures on the line. It’s opening night. The crowd is waiting. Don and Debby are waiting. Waiting, waiting, waiting. For what? For the other performers to arrive, that’s what!! Hey, Saskatchewan is a big province and one Moose-burg sounds the same as another Saskwatch-toon. So what are Don and Debby going to do if the rest of the acts don’t get here? That’s easy – they’ll just do the whole thing themselves! That’s right – John, Olivia, Kenny, Dolly, Sonny, Cher – the whole works! So sit back and enjoy the show as Don and Debby Do The Seventies!

Country - One of the top-ranked female vocalists in any musical genre, Lynn Anderson is often referred to as a "singer's singer." Her sophisticated image and "countrypolitan" sound helped her to become one of the first female country artists to achieve mass crossover appeal. Billboard currently ranks Lynn Anderson among the top-ten most successful country female artists for all-time record sales. In a career that spans four decades, Lynn Anderson has scored eight #1 records, 18 top-tens, and over 50 in the top-40. One of the most endearing and popular country singer/songwriters of the late 60s and 70s, Lynn Anderson's strong and distinctive vocals have gained her an audience that spans both country and popular music.

In 1970, Lynn moved to Nashville and began turning out a steady stream of well-received recordings. During this time, one of those rare sessions occurred: Lynn and producer Glenn Sutton entered the studio to record Joe South's Rose Garden. The song climbed to the top of the country charts, cracked the top five on the pop charts and transformed the young singer into a national celebrity. More hits followed, including a top ten duet with Gary Morris, You're Welcome to Tonight. In 1974, she became the first female country artist to win the American Music Award for "Favorite Female Vocalist." In 2004, she was once again nominated for a Grammy for her DM Records release The Bluegrass Sessions.

 

Songs: Rose Garden, Top of the World, You’re My Man, Listen to a Country Song, Fool Me, How Can I Unlove You & Cry

Garnet Rogers

 

Garnet Rogers

 

 

Powerful songwriting married to remarkable musicianship

 

 

“A brilliant songwriter. One of the major talents of our time.”

The Boston Globe

“The greatest interpreter and vocalist performing in the

contemporary folk scene.”

Sing Out

“I have found strength and comfort in his songs. This is good and

rich and big music. Welcome one and all. Come on in. Get down.”

Greg Brown

 

 

 

Born in Hamilton, Ontario to parents of Nova Scotian descent, Garnet Rogers spent many hours in front of the old floor model radio listening to Grand Ol' Opry broadcasts and harmonizing with his brother, the late folk legend Stan Rogers. Two years later, Garnet was playing the definitive 8-year-old's version of "Desolation Row" on his ukulele. He soon abandoned that instrument to teach himself the flute, violin and guitar.

 

At 18, Garnet was on the road as a full-time working musician with brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influential duos in the history of North American folk music. Garnet acted as producer and arranger for his older brother from 1973 to 1983, when Stan died tragically in a plane crash. Since then, Garnet has courageously established himself as a formidable solo artist. Hailed by the Boston Globe as a "...charismatic performer and singer — one of the major talents of our time,” they continue by saying that "Garnet’s vocal and instrumental talents are complimented by an undeniably powerful physical presence — close to six and a half feet tall — with the lungs to match.” With his "smooth, dark baritone" (Washington Post) his incredible range and thoughtful, dramatic phrasing,

 

Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail, his songs give expression to the unspoken language of the heart. An optimist at heart, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small everyday victories. As memorable as his songs, his over-the-top humor and lightning-quick wit move his audiences from tears to laughter and back again.

 

Rogers has been the featured performer on numerous television and radio programs including Much Music, Mountain Stage, and All Things Considered. He has been a headliner at concert venues and festivals such as Wolf Trap, Lincoln Center, and Art Park; sharing the stage with performers such as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Billy Bragg, Bill Monroe, Ferron, Greg Brown, and Guy Clark. Though Garnet has enjoyed much popularity over the years, he remains resolutely independent, turning down offers from major labels to ensure that he continues doing music his own way.

An Amazing Musical Biography

 

beatlemania%20logo

Performed by THE BEATLES EXPERIENCE

Showtime invites you "across the universe" on a "magical mystery tour" exploring the Beatle's "revolution" in popular music and culture. Employing authentic "Beatle" instruments, amplifiers, and costumes, coupled with faithful renditions of your favorite Beatle classics "The Beatles Experience" recreates the spirit of the "Fab Four" in ways that have audiences raving about them” Eight days a week

Join the specialist Australian cast as they take you on a two-hour journey recapturing an era of music that still has magic all of its own!

 

 

Chris Frazer – John Lennon

 

Chris has performed in musical theatre for 19 years, as well as singer/guitarist in both original and cover music projects for the past 12 years. His voice is one of the most versatile in the business as he plays both Lennon and 'Queen' front man Freddie Mercury in the tribute 'We are the Champions'. Chris breathes amazing energy and detail into his character, which has critics everywhere raving. Chris has loved The Beatles and particularly John Lennon's music legacy from his earliest memories, singing Beatles songs in preschool. Chris is a showman born and bred with rock and roll passed on from his 50's hey day performing father who shared stages with many of the greats of that time.  Chris's Comment: "This is the best job in the world. Rock n Roll, Beatles, John Lennon signature Rickenbacker 325 guitar, screaming audience = me in my element smiling."

 

Scott MacFarlane – Paul McCartney

 

Scott is the youngest band member with the natural boyish look and mature charm. Scott is a naturally talented singer and moves with ease from Rock- n- Roll too soft ballads. He also has an amazing talent performing and playing a variety of musical instruments. After playing the guitar right handed since the age of 12, Scott set himself a challenge and taught himself to play Bass Guitar left handed just like Paul. Months and months went by practicing and the challenge was met, a new Paul impersonator was created, and the story begins.

Scott has now become a professional musician who had a dream come true after growing up listening to his parents playing Beatles music day in and day out.

 

Paul Green – George Harrison

 

Paul Has found his true calling in the music industry paying tribute to the quiet one George Harrison. As a teenager Paul spent countless hours of every day playing and singing along to Beatles records trying to emulate the signature riffs and 3 part harmonies that made the Beatles the most influential band of all time. Paul has spent the last 3 years touring the world and has received rave reviews for his performance in the Beatlemania on tour show as well as his musicianship and portrayal of 'Brian May' in Queen tribute 'We are the Champions'. His understanding of George’s vocal and guitar style has earned him the reputation as one of the best in the business. Paul's Comment: "I just want to play, it's all I need, but then to play at this level and tour The Beatles is a dream come true every show.

 

 

Michael Brady – Ringo Starr

 

The son of a drummer, Michael actually can't remember when he first started playing drums. From his first trio in sixth grade to a stint as a session drummer in Sydney, he can't believe his luck to be performing as his idol, Ringo Starr, in the Ultimate Beatles Tribute Band on the Planet; having spent many years touring with other tribute acts and covers bands. “Michael’s comments: "Of all the projects I've been involved with, ‘Beatlemania on tour is, without a doubt, the most exciting and rewarding group I've ever played with." Michael brings to the stage Ringo's familiar mannerisms, as well as the flawless drumming musicality so familiar to the hardcore Beatle fan, which has become our best audience over the years. He's probably the best "pure" drummer ever to portray Ringo - case closed! Michael prides himself on keeping everything musically as authentic as possible down to the Ringo Star signature drumsticks he uses. Oh yes, we've forgotten one other thing he brings to the show - Ringo's nose!

 

 

Musically, no detail is overlooked to re-create the true sound and excitement of The Beatles, with every song performed totally live and in its original key. Visually, the presentation is as close to the real thing as you can imagine... Close your eyes, could it really be them? Quality stage outfits range from the early Cavern days through to Beatlemania.

The Carlton Showband

 

 

Country/Irish - For an incredible 35 years from 1964 to 1996 The Carlton Showband evolved as one of the most respected and recognized bands in all of Canada. With a generous helping of Irish, a dash or two of down home country, a touch of pop, rock and even classical.... their show was a recipe for happiness from day one.

The 'rocket of success' was fully launched in 1967 when the band joined The Pig N' Whistle, a television show that for eleven seasons would be one of the highest rated shows in the CTV collection. From that point on, it was an incredible 35 years of non-stop entertaining from coast to coast.

 

The music, the comedy, the variety, the laughter and the tears made it all happen - a show anyone could enjoy. The awards came in droves - including Junos, Big Country Awards and both gold and platinum albums. Whether in a big city theatre or a small stage, the result was always the same - an evening of pure happiness. Now after 14 years of retirement the boys have decided to re-unite with their fans in a cross-Canada reunion tour. This is one reunion you won't want to miss!

 

Songs: The Merry Ploughboy, Up Went Nelson, Roll It Around in Your Mind, Any Dream Will Do, Sadie the Cleaning Lady,  Melody You Will Never Forget & Hard Times (Comin' Down Again)

Connie Kaldor

Connie Kaldor

 

Connie Kaldor is a legend in the Canadian music scene. She's a Juno award winner and she's appeared all over Canada. She's been to the Mae Wilson theatre on two previous occasions and we're so pleased that she'll be back with us again!

"Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, something roars in and it turns you about."

Connie Kaldor wrote this and more about the unexpected twists and turns of life and love for her album Love is a Truck. She could well have been writing about her personal artistic complexities. Music pundits have tried to define the essence of the prairie-born acoustic performer for over two decades but even the most eloquent have fallen short of perfection.

Connie’s live performances are legendary and her fan base broad and fiercely loyal. People come back to see her again and again because a Connie Kaldor performance is about more than just the power of music. It is also about the power of personality. What she says between songs is as intriguing as the lyrics she sings. From prairie backroads and community centres to sold out concert halls in major cities, from Bejing to New Dehli to Saskatoon to Washington, Connie has triumphed.

If you've heard Connie before you'll want to hear her again. If you've never heard her, don't miss this opportunity!
