Huge kudos to the artists for actually starting at the advertised start-time (this is a big complaint with us - few musicians seem to be able to get going at the advertised time), and to the club for having a nice early start time. Watching these guys in action is a show in itself, they joke around and obviously have a lot of fun playing. Ron Davis on piano is always a treat, but there is a special chemistry between Ron and his two partners in this trio. Ron shows an entirely new side to his playing. The bass playing skills of Ka-Cheung Liu are truly outstanding, and he has a beautiful voice which he uses to scat along with many of the numbers. Great bass solos. Tony Quarrington plays the guitar with a smooth and practiced ease and wearing a big happy expression on his face all the time. His guitar solos were delightful, never over the top and he delighted in throwing in little surprises. The material they played was light-hearted and fun. By the time we left (just after the first set) the joint was really jumping. Swing Street is one trio we will definitely be looking to hear again.

Performers listed as "first" under "this year" are making their first appearance on the top ten lists since I began the count in March of '96.

NorthernBlues Music is proud to announce the release of two new terrific CDs -- 'Respect the Dead' by Otis Taylor, and 'Wise and Otherwise' by Harry Manx. Both CDs will be available in stores tomorrow, April 2nd. Otis Taylor's 'Respect the Dead' continues where his critically-acclaimed White African left off. Another set of 12 hard-hitting original songs (thought slightly more reflective in tone). Otis's daughter Cassie provides background vocals on several tracks, and once gain, Kenny Passarelli has produced another incredible-sounding CD. Already Respect The Dead is garnering incredible reviews. The Ottawa Citizen recently gave it a 5-star review. Here is what the All-Music Guide said: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=Ag1220r6ai48x "Otis Taylor might well be the best and most inspired of contemporary bluesmen. His White African album was a masterpiece — which makes the task of following it doubly difficult. With Respect the Dead, however, he does a superb job — the man is still very much on a roll. Kicking off with the stark, banjo-led "Ten Million Slaves," the intensity level never dips. It doesn't matter whether he's basing a song around a single chord, as he does on "Hands on Your Stomach," or simply using voice and harmonica on "Baby So," there's a remarkable urgency about his singing and lyrics, never more so than with "Black Witch," a tale of the American South that goes right back to Africa — but the album returns and takes its tone to Mexico and racing for "Three Stripes on a Cadillac." The support, from Kenny Passarelli, Cassie Taylor, and atmospheric lead guitarist Eddie Turner, always serves to push the tension of the songs even higher. Taylor doesn't work within standard blues structures, and his lyrics stray far from the standard blues lines to encompass history and mythology. Where others seem content with the established limits, Taylor is pushing them further and further — and in doing so, he's making some of the most exciting music around." A unique artist, Harry Manx has brought the sounds of India to the Blues. Combining lap-slide guitar and the blues with the Mohan Veena (a 20-string member of the guitar family created and named by Indian musical guru Vishwa Mohan Bhatt) and his own distinctive vocals, Manx creates a new musical experience. His brand new album, Wise and Otherwise, released April 2nd, 2002 on Northern Blues Music, has been garnering positive attention across the country. His first Canadian CD entitled Dog My Cat, released in 2001, produced by Jordy Sharpe at the Barn Studios in Salt Spring Island, BC, enjoyed rave reviews and won an “Indie” award for Blues Album of the Year at Canadian Music Week this year. Here is what the All-Music Guide said about 'Wise and Otherwise': http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=A9n0xlfwe0cqr To call Harry Manx a wizard of slide guitar is perfectly true, but not the whole story. Add banjo, harmonica, and the Indian veena to that, and you're approaching the real story. On Wise and Otherwise he demonstrates the full range of his talents, which are firmly based in the blues, but extend far beyond — all the way to Indian music, with his own "Raga Nat Bhariav," a short, but beautiful journey for the veena. As a writer he continues to improve by leaps and bounds, making songs like "Roses Given" fit well with his version of "Death Have Mercy" or his covers of "Crazy Love" and "Foxy Lady" (where his acoustic playing has all the intensity of an electric Hendrix). In some ways he mines similar territory to Kelly Joe Phelps, but by now Manx is assured enough in himself to have a remarkably distinctive sound that comes not from the Delta, but some mystic place beyond. "Coat of Mail," for example, is hardly a traditional blues, but its feeling runs somewhere deep, from some primal river. Amazingly, he even manages to make B.B. King's classic, "The Thrill Is Gone," into his own — no mean feat. There are few performers like this around who can connect the dots between musical styles with such resonance and make themselves seem a part of them all. — Chris Nickson Fred Litwin NorthernBlues Music, Inc. 225 Sterling Road, Unit 19 Toronto, Ontario M6R 2B2 (416) 536-4892 FAX: (416) 536-1494 www.northernblues.com - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From rflohil@sympatico.ca Mon Apr 1 19:44:32 2002 Date: Mon Apr 1 19:44:32 2002 From: Richard Flohil rflohil@sympatico.ca Subject: [mplpost] Stony Plain Newsletter #13 (no jokes, no typos) Stony Plain's E-Mail Newsletter Issue 13 (April 1/2002) ___________________________________________________________________ Phew! It's April Fool's Day, but there are no intentional jokes here - just the news, folk, including (at the end) the most important news of all: Stony Plain now has an American distributor! There's a HUGE sigh of relief around here, let us tell you! ____________________________________________________________________ IN THIS ISSUE: 1) Quick notes: Maria Muldaur, Mike McCartney, Jim Brynes, Amos Garrett and Vancouver's Storman Norman 2) Long John sets off for major UK tour 3) Sonny Rhodes packs up his turban 4) Words of wisdom from Ian Tyson 5) Navarre now distributes Stony Plain in the United States 6) Keeping in touch with Stony Plain ____________________________________________________________________ 1) QUICK NOTES ABOUT MIKE McCARTNEY, MARIA MULDAUR, JIM BRYNES, VANCOUVER'S STORMAN NORMAN, AND AMOS GARRETT * Stony Plain is one of the sponsors of "Mike McCartney's Liverpool" - a stunning recollection of his hometown by the award-winning photographer, the one-time leader of the British band The Scaffold, and the author of a number of books, including a children's book written with his younger ("and more handsome" he insists) brother. The exhibit is running April 2-May 12 at the Provincial Museum of Alberta in Edmonton, and on April 3 Petersen hosts a live story-swap with McCartney and Long John Baldry, both of whom have tales to tell of the fabled birthplace of British rock. * Well, no, Maria Muldaur did not win a Grammy for her wonderful "Richland Woman Blues" (Stony Plain SPCD-1270). Sad though everyone was, it's a pleasure to offer congratulations of Jimmie Vaughan, who was the winner for Best Traditional Blues Album. However, "Richland Woman Blues" did win Maria an AFIM (Association for Independent Music) Award, and the honour from the indie segment of the industry did soften the blow a little. And Maria will be at the W.C. Handy Awards in Memphis May 23; she's up for two nominations, and we're keeping our fingers crossed. * Stony Plain's Jim Brynes plays on two tracks on "Live at the Yale," a new CD released to mark the 10th anniversary of Storman Norman's Sunday Blues show on Vancouver's Classic Rock 101. Norman's been a great blues supporter in the city; the record (with a profits to charity) is a fine live concert, recorded last year. More details on Norman's website is www.sundayblues.com * Amos Garrett sets off for two weeks of dates in the UK, starting May 15 and ending on June 2. And plans are in the works for a return trip to Ontario (with some Quebec dates, hopefully) starting October 10. Any interested promoters out there should contact rflohil@sympatico.ca Š _____________________________________________________________ 2) LONG JOHN BALDRY HEADS OFF TO U.K. FOR MAJOR TOUR Long John Baldry leaves for a major 38-city tour in his native Britain starting on April 30 and ending June 15. He's special guest on the bill with The Manfreds (former members of Manfred's Mann's group) who include Paul Jones, Mike D'Abo, Tom McGuinness and Mike Hugg and classic UK rockers Chris Farlow and Colin Blunstone. Most of the dates are in England, including a June 9 appearance at the London Palladium (where John has played, in the past, at Royal Command performances), but there are three dates in Wales, and one in Scotland at Glasow's Royal Concert Hall. _____________________________________________________________ 3) SONNY RHODES PACKS UP HIS TURBAN For more than 30 years, Stony Plain artist Sonny Rhodes - King of the Lap Steel Guitar and perennial W.C. Handy Award nominee - had worn a turban on stage. "I got the idea from Chuck Willis, and after he passed on, I kept the tradition alive." Now, however, as a bizarre result of the tragedies of September 11, he's put the turban away. "Man, I got threatened three times - once in Edmonton and once by a guy who had a pistol on him," he said. "They said that wearing a turban was showing respect for terrorists, and they were offended by it. I never heard so much nonsense in my life, but all I need is some crazy s.o.b. with a gun taking things out on me, and I'm not taking any risks." Fans will be delighted that his famous red suit is still part of Sonny's formal stage gear. And he has a VERY snazzy new black cowboy hat to finish off the ensemble. ______________________________________________________________ 4) WORDS OF WISDOM FROM IAN TYSON Quoted in a major feature in The National Post by Bob Remington, Ian Tyson had plenty to say about recording "Live at Longview" (Stony Plain SPCD-1282)" "I've never done a live album (before). It's a high wire act. I thought we might pull this off if I don't have a cardiac arrest on Thursday or something. When I cut my longhorn bull out of a steel feeder with a hacksaw and managed not to have a cardiac, I figured my heart was pretty sound - that was a real adventure. But a live album? We had to know (those songs) backwards, and in the end I knew more about those songs vocally and certainly on guitar than any album I've done in years. "I've tried to write formula stuff at various times in my life, and I've been monumentally unsuccessful at itŠ.I was more interested in chasing cattle and being a good cutting horse trainer." _________________________________________________________________ 5) NAVARRE NOW DISTRIBUTES STONY PLAIN IN U.S. Stony Plain Records are now being distributed in the United States - the world's largest market - by Navarre Corporation, based in New Hope, Minnesota, just outside Minneapolis. The company is one of the largest independent distributors in the United States, and has 18 regional sales representatives. Some of its key people are already familiar with Stony Plain, having previously worked with Stony Plain's former distributor, Valley/DNA, which declared bankruptcy last fall. In addition to Stony Plain, Navarre has recently signed similar agreements with a number of other important indie record labels based in Britain and the U.S. Two new Stony Plain releases - "Remembering Leadbelly", by Vancouver-based singer Long John Baldry and "Living the Blues" by Duke Robillard - will be released in the United States on May 21; some 50 other albums in the label's back catalogue have also been made available and are now being marketed by Navarre's field staff. In Canada, Stony Plain's releases continue to be distributed by our friends at Warner Music Canada.

Formed in 1967, they revolutionized folk music with their album Liege And Lief and almost singlehandedly created the genre of folk-rock. Their ever-evolving line-up has included such luminaries as Ashley Hutchings, Richard Thompson, Dave Swarbrick and Sandy Denny. As of this year, Fairport Convention has been entertaining audiences around the globe for thirty five years. Dirty Linen calls them “the band that invented English folk-rock” and The Boston Phoenix says “Fairport Convention were the first important British folk rock band.” The musicians involved have always been unique in their revolutionary embrace of traditional British elements, richly evocative songwriting and uncanny interplay of the band’s many vocalists... More information: ______________________________________________________________________ Thu Apr 4 - Anne Lindsay CD Release - "Eavesdropping" 8:30pm, $15 “Anne Lindsay cut the night air with a brilliant fiddle solo that proved to be one-third Ashley MacIsaac and two-thirds Jimi-Hendrix.” -Jeff Macklin, Peterborough Examiner “Ottawa audiences were taken with Lindsay’s fiddling, rising to their feet almost every time she put bow to string.” -Dan Donovan, Ottawa Life Anne Lindsay's been eavesdropping. For most of her life, the Toronto violinist - or is she a fiddler? -- has been listening in on other people's musical conversations, absorbing an enormous variety of ideas, idioms, dialects, patterns, rhythms and melodies. Recorded in Toronto, "Eavesdropping" contains 13 original tunes that showcase Anne's hybrid style -- neither violin nor fiddle, but a confident blend of both disciplines. The funky, fiddle-driven tracks combine strong melodies and complex rhythms with a rootsy approach to stretching musical boundaries. Anne has performed on concert, club and festival stages and in countless studio sessions with artists including John McDermott, Jim Cuddy, Blue Rodeo, Natalie McMaster, The Chieftains, Led Zeppelin, Oliver Schroer, Oh Susanna, Beyond The Pale, Heartwood, The Calore Trio, David Woodhead, and in the hit stage musical, Stan Rogers: A Matter Of Heart! Anne also regularly plays (fiddle!) for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Don't miss this exclusive performance of one of Canada's finest musicians, with very special guests to make this fabulous evening a night to remember: Colleen Allen - saxophone Bill Brennan - keyboards and percussion Al Cross - drums Jason Fowler - guitar David Woodhead - fretless bass, guitar, mandola Tosh Weyman - saxophone More information & soundbytes at: ! ____________________________________________________________________ Fri Apr 5 - Entourloupe 8:30pm, $12adv/$14 Entourloupe is not a household name in Toronto. And that's the city's loss - for this four-man Quebec band IS a household name 350 miles down the 401. The quartet is a veteran on the folk festival circuit, from Lunenberg NS to Salmon Arm BC, not to mention similar events in Winnipeg, Vancouver, Yellowknife, Brittany, Randolph Vermont and Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Now the band's set for a rare Toronto appearance here on Friday. Expect an irresistible, breakneck brand of fiddle and accordion-driven dance music, complete with virtuoso playing and staggeringly good step-dancing. In short, this is Quebec music played with flair and energy and passion, and a joie de vivre that's hard to find in this busy city. Check out for for more info & an interview on Cate Friesen's Roots Report. ____________________________________________________________________ Sat/Sun Apr 6/7 - Tom Rush 8:30pm, $20adv/$22.50 Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer, whose shows offer a musical celebration...a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been, can be, and will become. His distinctive guitar style, wry humor and warm, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific story-telling, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues. Rush's impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the '60s and the renaissance of the '80s and '90s, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor told Rolling Stone, "Tom was not only one of my early heroes, but also one of my main influences." ...

The Globe and Mail February 24, 1954 Dear Mr. Jackson: In the year that we have been running the Saturday feature page I have never had so many warm comments as have come to me in reference to your remininscences of Drumsnab. Most of these, of course, have been verbal and I can't very well pass them along to you. You will, however, see a very nice note from Miss Dorothea Snider which I have acknowledged. A Miss MacDonald, who lives in Rosedale, phoned last night expressing delight with the piece and hoping we could have from your pen. MIss Lotta Dempsey, one of our columnists, admitted to me that she read the aticle at breakfast and burst into tears to the surprise and dismay of her husband. Several others have told me how moved they were. Believe me, Mr. Jackson, we at The Globe and Mail all feel that we have been able to present to our readers a little gem of philosophy which I am sure has gien hundreds of people a little lift, a clean, refreshing literary experience. Perhaps you will write for us again. I hope so. The small cheque which will be forthcoming to you in no way represents the value and appeal of your article. Unfortunately we have a standard fee of payment for aticles submitted to this page and are required to stay within our budget. Most sincerely, E. C. Phelan E. C.

(BROADVIEW AVE.) 9:30 P.M. $5.00 THURSDAY APRIL 4, 2002 The Silver Hearts First, a big thank you to everyone who made the first month of the East Of The Valley series such a great success! We have more great performances comin’ up this month, starting off April with a bang, we’re pleased to play host to The Silver Hearts. After a successful opening slot with Eleni Mandell at The Rivoli just last week, The Silverhearts are makin waves all over. The Silver Hearts (http://www.thesilverhearts.com) A mixture of western roots, ragtime and bluegrass that has been described at various times as a "beer orchestra", "ghost town western music", "music for an Irish wake" and "old-time hopped-up playing", The Silver Hearts take forgotten music and reinvent it with a new sense of style and vitality. Tim Perlich of Now Magazine wrote in the March 28- April 3, 2002 issue: "Their tunes might recall something by a wine-whipped country string band…one moment and then a bluesy-woozy outtake from Tom Waits’ Bone Machine the next, and they have no qualms about wailing a teary ballad at the drop of a Stetson." "Silver Hearts don’t need to wear tin sheriff’s deputy badges to set themselves apart. When you travel in a 14-strong posse dressed in matching black suits, you tend to stand out in a crowd" This is definitely going to be a great night, it will surely give anyone a reason to travel East Of The Valley!

Folks such as Ian Tamblyn, Lynn Miles, Cathy Miller, and Alex Sinclair created an informal mutual support group for songwriters resulting in a number of projects, two of which were recorded an aired by CBC. The SongAlong was continued by Karen Leslie Hall who attempted to make it a cross Canada event. Ottawa has held firm though most, if not all of the rest of Canada dropped off. The 2002 Song Along is underway this weekend. The challenge was to take one of 5 themes, write a song on that theme and present it live in front of peers. This year 42 Ottawa singer/songwriters will be performing their created work (and one other) over three nights. The nights will be recorded by Dann Webb and will be condensed into a CD. The nights look as if they will be sold out, so this is not a call for submissions or even for attendance, but rather a teaser for others to get involved in their own communities.

The Silver Hearts (http://www.thesilverhearts.com) that western roots and tin pan alley big band return to Toronto:
 
THURSDAY, APRIL 4TH at the Black Swan
FRIDAY, APRIL 5TH at the Cadillac Lounge
 
and if you're in the Southwest catch us in St. Catherines:
SATURDAY, APRIL 6TH at the Merchant Ale House

A mixture of western roots, ragtime and bluegrass that has been described at various times as a "beer orchestra", "ghost town western music", "music for an Irish wake" and "old-time hopped-up playing", The Silver Hearts take forgotten music and reinvent it with a new sense of style and vitality.

Tim Perlich of Now Magazine wrote in the March 28- April 3, 2002 issue:
"Their tunes might recall something by a wine-whipped country string band…one moment and then a bluesy-woozy outtake from Tom Waits’ Bone Machine the next, and they have no qualms about wailing a teary ballad at the drop of a Stetson."

"Silver Hearts don’t need to wear tin sheriff’s deputy badges to set themselves apart. When you travel in a 14-strong posse dressed in matching black suits, you tend to stand out in a crowd"

This is definitely going to be a great night, it will surely give anyone a reason to travel East Of The Valley!

Richard ____________________________________________________________________________ Media information / For immediate release Please add to coming events listings Taking music to native kids at risk in Canada's remote communities: Toronto benefit concert to raise funds to send musicians to Labrador A special benefit concert to raise funds to allow a group of musicians to perform for - and with - native youth in remote communities in Canada's north is being held at Hugh's Room in Toronto on Sun. May 5. The event is being arranged by ArtsCan Circle; the organization came together when its members heard of the work of Mike Stevens, a Sarnia-based harmonica virtuoso, who has been visiting remote communities, playing for kids in schools, in community halls, and in the bush. It should be emphasized that the musicians conduct workshops, bringing donated instruments for the kids to learn - "The idea," says Stevens, "is to let them understand how music be an emotional outlet of expression in places where solvent sniffing has become the outlet of choice for so many. "These are good, sharp, bright kids, but their lives are dominated by extreme poverty, severe family dysfunction, lack of work and lack of hope." The Hugh's Room benefit will feature Stevens and his regular accompanist - Nashville based Raymond McLain - and will be hosted by Duke Redbird and performers Tamara Podemski and Jani Lauzon. Also taking part are a number of native and non-native artists (in alphabetical order): The Arrogant Worms Cindy Church Willie Dunn The Eagleheart Singers with Jimmy Dick Marie-Lynn Hammond Tim Harrison Molly Johnson Rob Lamothe and Lisa Winn Elder Lillian McGregor Don Ross Sistah Lois Tickets for the 7.30 p.m. Sunday May 5 show at Hugh's Room (2261 Dundas St. W, Toronto) are $25.00; reservations and ticket orders can be made by calling Hugh's Room at 416 531-6604. Initially, ArtsCan Circle will fund a pilot project in Labrador, but it is hoped that other musicians will take part in similar programmes in other remote parts of northern Canada. The organization is also accepting donated instruments to be distributed directly to kids in isolated communities. -30- For further information, print, radio, or TV interviews with Mike Stevens and other participants, please contact: Richard Flohil 416 351-1323 E-mail: rflohil@sympatico.ca Please check the ArtsCan Circle website: www.artscancircle.ca Additional background material on ArtsCan Circle and biographical material on the performers will be happily supplied on request. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Susan Werner makes up for cancelled Toronto concert with new date at Hugh's Room Saturday April 27; Josh White Jr. added as her special guest Susan Werner, the Chicago-based singer and songwriter, is making a rare appearance in Toronto after scoring strongly at folk festivals across Canada. Her appearance at Hugh's Room is a "make-up date" for the concert she was forced to cancel last year because of the events in the United States last September. One of the few singers in her genre who plays piano as well as guitar, her concerts feature an eclectic mix of songs with elements of jazz, classic pop material from the past, and thoroughly contemporary storytelling. Josh White Jr., son of the legendary blues singer, and a long-time figure on the American folk scene, will make his first appearance in the city in many years; when he was a child in the '60s he appeared here on numerous occasions with his father. Who: Susan Werner, with Josh White Jr. as special guest When: Saturday April 27, 8.00 p.m. Where: Hugh's Room, 2261 Dundas St. W, south of Bloor W How much: Tickets $15.00 in advance, $16.50 at door, available at the venue (416) 531-6604 www.hughsroom.com. Dinner reservations recommended. Quotes: "Werner has been bubbling under the top echelon of new folk, but her catchy top-notch songcraft and gorgeous, dynamic vocals should solidify her reputation as one of the premier artists in her genre." - Boston Phoenix "Artful, funny, and blessed with a luminescent voice, this mid-Western farm girl turned big-city folk-jazz singer may share qualities with Dar Williams and Chrstine Lavin, but she's very much her own woman." - San Francisco Bay Guardian For more information, photos, interviews contact: www.susanwerner.com Richard Flohil/Laurie Lockhart (416) 351-1323 rflohil@sympatico.ca ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart return to Hugh's Room for April 26 concert Singer songwriters STACEY EARLE and MARK STUART are returning to Toronto for an evening concert date at Hugh's Room, the city's premier acoustic music "listening club." The pair have become firm favourites in Toronto, and fit Canadian dates into an international touring schedule that exceeds 200 concerts a year. Who: Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart When: Friday April 26, 8.00 p.m. Where: Hugh's Room, 2261 Dundas St. W, south of Bloor W How much: Tickets $17.50 in advance, $20.00 at door, available at the venue (416) 531-6604 www.hughsroom.com. Dinner reservations recommended. Stacey and Mark are touring to support their third album, a double set titled "Must Be Live." Stacey first met Mark when she was singing backup and he was playing lead guitar for her brother Steve Earle's band, but their gentle appeal as a duo has built them a huge fan base in Canada. Quotes: Mojo: "Šit could be that Stacey's the best back-porch discovery since Dolly Parton tumbled out of them Appalachians." Music Row Magazine: "Elegantly raw" Time Out New York: "ŠEarle's bread-and-butter tales are simply more interesting than the empty, giddy fare many of her country peers are offering." -30- For further information, photographs, interviews, etc. please contact: Richard Flohil or Laurie Lockhart at 416 351-1323 or rflohil@sympatico.ca Check: www.staceyearle.com and www.markstuart.net -- - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From rflohil@sympatico.ca Tue Apr 2 16:02:42 2002 Date: Tue Apr 2 16:02:42 2002 From: Richard Flohil rflohil@sympatico.ca Subject: [mplpost] That government immigration fee for musicians As Travis Bird pointed out, the government haws rescinded its intention to drop border crossing fees payable by "foreign" musicians coming into Canada.

Other singer/songwriter's performing in this annual concert include Guelph's Stephen Fearing and rising star Aengus Finnan, who is also from Guelph. Rogers has released nine highly-acclaimed CD's to date with his most recent being Firefly (2001). His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and reveals a deep purpose. Cinematic in detail, his songs "give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart." An optimist at heart, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs, his over the top humor and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again. The Boston Globe has written that Rogers is, "A brilliant songwriter. One of the major talents of our time." Garnet has been the featured performer on numerous television and radio programs, including Much Music, The Country Beat, Listen Up, Gabereau, Morningside, Mountain Stage and All Things Considered. He has been a headliner at concert venues and festivals such as Wolf Trap, Lincoln Centre and Art Park, sharing the stage with performers such as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Billy Bragg, Bill Monroe, Ferron, and Guy Clark. Guelph's outstanding guitarist and Juno-award winning singer/songwriter Stephen Fearing, who is touring to promote his latest CD, That's How I Walk, will also be making his first Kitchener appearance in over five years. Based for many years in Vancouver, Fearing moved to Guelph some years ago. His songwriting draws on numerous musical influences including contemporary acoustic, traditional folk, Celtic, Country, Blues, Gospel and Jazz. His stunning guitar playing and picking abilities are more than evident on an intricate and innovative instrumental track like Robert's Waterloo. Couple this with a smooth intimate voice that can project sudden power on a poignant, beautiful love song like Coryanna, and it's not hard to fathom why Stephen Fearing has established himself as one of Canada's most important singer/songwriters. Fearing is also a founding member of the folk/roots group Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, a project that combined his talents with two other exceptional Canadian artists; Colin Linden and Tom Wilson. Their 1996 debut, High Or Hurtin', received critical acclaim across Canada and was nominated for "Best Roots & Traditional Group" at the '97 JUNO's. The group's sensational follow up disc, Kings Of Love, released in the fall of '98, scored Stephen & the gang the JUNO for that category in 1999. The third member of this year's Songwriter's Circle is the outstanding up-and-coming artist, Aengus Finnan. Born to a performing family in Dublin, Ireland, Aengus has been immersed in story, song, and theatre all his life. His family immigrated to Canada when he was 4 and settled in Shelter Valley, Ontario, where they established an organic vegetable farm run on wind and solar power. Finnan's debut CD, "Fool's Gold," was supported by the Ontario Arts Council and was recorded by acclaimed producer Paul Mills (who worked extensively with Stan Rogers). The recording is a collection of stunning original works and vibrant renditions of traditional songs and was recently nominated "Folk/Roots Album of the Year" by Canada Music Week. The Centre In The Square's On Stage Series is a warm, moving and utterly unique experience. This season, once again, the audience will share the stage in an intimate setting along with the performers. With the capacity of the setting limited to only 225 tickets, the audience sits close to the performer(s) at tables set up on the theatre's stage. Reminiscent of experiencing these fine performers in the intimacy of one's living room, the unique experience of these performances is not to be missed. The KW Record's reporter Robert Reid has praised this series and the intimate setting. Reid has written in the KW Record that, "there's no better place anywhere in the area to hear singer-songwriters than on stage at Centre in the Square. The audience is close to the artists and the sound is excellent. Moreover, there are no extraneous noises or distractions of any kind. In short, nothing comes between the audience and the song." The Songwriter's Circle concert takes place on Thursday June 6th at 8pm. Ticket prices for the show are $25 each. To order, or for more information, call The Centre Box Office at 519-578-1570 or toll-free 1-800-265-8977. Additional information, including MP3 sound clips from each artist, is available at The Centre In The Square's website at www.centre-square.com/songwriter.html.

Assisted by veteran producers and arrangers Ralph Cole (Lighthouse) and Ray Parker, this relative unknown has managed to put together a dynamite band of top-notch Toronto studio players - guitarist Mike Francis, bassist Tom Szczesniak, drummer Brian Leonard and Parker on keyboards. They do wonders with Colgate's muscular compositions, jangly ballads, and straight -from-the-cuff narratives. A rough growler as convincing as Colgate is a rarity. when dinosaurs ruled the earth is a polished, assertive first effort.

You have *42* singer/songwriters in the Ottawa area *alone* of the calibre to participate in an event like this?? As we say here - "Good ON ya, mate!". This is just great - and so refreshing to hear that it doesn't take the form of a competition - over here that smacks of the Country and Western scene. To me, good music and "competition" are not about the same things at all (especially folk music!). What a pity the rest of Canada didn't keep the idea up. We had a similar thing at our major folk festival here about twelve years ago. Someone came up with an arbitrary line - "Mary gave a small sigh" - and the songwriters had to write a song where that line appeared somewhere in it. The songs were then performed in a songwriting workshop at the festival. Some very interesting songs came out of that - all with different themes, too. I'll suggest your idea to people here, and see if we can get something going along the same lines.

The professional edge with which Erin creates her captivating music was acquired through her 3 years of classical piano study at Cambrian College in Sudbury. In Summer of 2001, Erin felt she was ready to begin recording a solo album of her own original material. The self-titled album includes material spanning her nearly ten year effort at the craft of songwriting. The recording process took place at locations both in Sudbury as well as far across the length of Ontario in Windsor. Erin Gignac will be celebrating the release of her self-titled debut recording with a performance at the Tin Pan Alley (2177 LaSalle, 525-0123) on Saturday, April 13th. The party continues on Sunday, April 14th when Erin and special guests Allison Brown and Pierre LaFramboise will perform at the Townehouse tavern (206 Elgin, 674-6883). Guests will have the special opportunity at both events to pre-order Erin’s CD for $12.00 (Shipping FREE of charge!). There will be no cover charge for either concert; both beginning at approximately 9 o’clock pm. Originally from Belle River, Ontario, Erin was a part of several ensembles while in Sudbury; the Cambrian Jazz Ensemble, “The Vintage Plague”, and several other duos and groups. Some of Erin’s highlighting performances were at the Sudbury Summerfest for Muscular Dystrophy, the MCTV Christmas Telethon, Sudbury’s Townehouse, The Harrington MusicFest and her special guest appearance with Canadian duo, The Wild Strawberries. Erin has also performed in several Windsor area venues such as the Lift Lounge, Beatniks, and at Windsor Folk events. Folksinger Allison Brown’s engaging and eclectic performance invites each member of her audience on a journey though a wide range of human emotions and experiences. As an excellent interpreter of folk and roots music, she treads the thin lines between folk, pop, and country with a diverse repertoire of both traditional and original songs. Allison plays guitar along with her smooth vocals, delivered with the honest intensity of an authentic storyteller. At 24, with over ten years of performance experience, Allison’s confident stage savvy is evident whether in an intimate coffeehouse or in a raucous nightclub atmosphere. Musician and songwriter Pierre LaFramboise regularly entertains at the Tin Pan Alley, the Townehouse as well as many other Sudbury venues and events. Influenced by artists such as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Gordon Lightfoot, Pierre’s reflective songwriting tackles real-life, universal issues facing the human spirit. Pierre completed 3 years of classical piano training at Cambrian College and has also produced several independent recordings at his own recording studio.

To kick off the first night, Likewater will be playing with Ian North & Lynn Harrison. ************************************************************************ Ian North - A mysterious musical force! on a cold road he came down from the north but the city smelled of gasoline so he lit out for the territories again and ended up playing the house band at the Mystery Tavern, five guitars and a tuba unless someone come in with a box to hit and to make ends meet he was digging holes and filling them in but the market dried up so he invented a new alphabet but there was not much call as the old one was still in pretty good shape though the belts had gone a little wonky and the old stone needed pointing so he says I'm not going to work on Jackie's farm anymore and headed back to the big beautiful smoke but stayed on the outskirts and made trips in for supplies once a month but on the phone all the while trying to sell shares in the new alphabet but that horse wouldn't ride so back to digging holes when, mackerel, buried treasure in the yard, oh the laughter that ensued, the world turned upside down so he took up the tuba again and people on the street said hey that's not bad, if you like a tuba. Small world, huh? ************************************************************************ Lynn Harrison - A force to be reckoned with! With the release of her first cd "Lynoleum" in 2001, Lynn Harrison has transformed a private passion into a promising career. A joyful performer and award-winning songwriter, Harrison entered the professional music scene following several years as a television screenwriter. Born in Dallas TX and raised in Winnipeg, Harrison’s first songwriting memories go back as far as grade one. Years later, as a writer for CBC’s "Sesame Street", she found writing songs easier than writing scripts. In 2000, with the strong encouragement of Toronto jazz singer Rita di Ghent and bassist/producer David Woodhead, Lynn recorded "Lynoleum", a collection that combines elements of folk, pop and country but is all uniquely "Lynn. In less than one year since "Lynoleum"s release in February 2001, it has generated considerable attention. "Room to Love" was named Runner-Up in the Ontario Council of Folk Festival’s "Songs From the Heart" Contest. "Einstein’s Brain" is a winner of the international Songs Inspired by Literature (SIBL) event. More than half of the songs from "Lynoleum" have received airplay on CBC Radio One or college radio. "You Don’t Say" has made it into rotation at 12 commercial country stations. The album was featured in “Canadian House and Home” magazine as ideal “around-the-house” listening music. Most important to Harrison, however, her songs have found their way into the hearts of listeners around the world, both through her recording and her many live performances. After seeing Lynn in performance in late 2001, singer Anne Forsythe writes "Lynn’s songs are stories that feed the soul". Mike Stevens from Ontario writes "I can't remember when I've heard a more beautiful voice. I listen to your CD and drift off to that peaceful place where love is all that matters". Columnist and Global TV personality Charles Adler writes "She awed the crowd...Harrison’s music is not only easy to listen to, it stimulates thought." A singer who connects with audiences of all ages, Lynn’s 2001 performance schedule has taken her to Winnipeg, Buffalo, London and Barrie in addition to stages near her Toronto home. Prominently featured on the benefit cd "Tears of a Thousand Years" to raise funds for the victims of September 11th, Lynn performed to a concert crowd of 300 at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts. Her music reflects a commitment to social justice and her belief that music can make a positive difference in the world. A mother of two, she brings music into the classroom and to the community through her “Lullaby Chorus” and “Writing Songs by Heart” singing and songwriting workshops. With recent television appearances in Toronto and London as well as radio performances in Winnipeg and Hamilton, she feels as comfortable in the studio as on the stage. Lynn is now working on a second album, due for release in 2003, enlisting the talents of David Woodhead, Ray Montford, Al Cross and many other musical friends. ************************************************************************ May the force be with you in April!

(was Ottawa Songalong) Kath Wrote: What a pity the rest of Canada didn't keep the idea up. We had a similar thing at our major folk festival here about twelve years ago. Someone came up with an arbitrary line - "Mary gave a small sigh" - and the songwriters had to write a song where that line appeared somewhere in it. The songs were then performed in a songwriting workshop at the festival. Some very interesting songs came out of that - all with different themes, too. **Hey Kath... I belong to an email list where we have dedicated 3 albums of material (some of the artist's whose fan email group we are a part of and some of our own songs) for the artists birthday. All were kept within the group tself and copies were distributed to only the participants (Participants could contribute a song or a greeting to be mixed into one track with other greetings and music behind them) What if we took that idea to the songwriters in this group?? Out of 400 list members, I imagine that very many of the maplefolkies are songwriters. Imagine how many takes on a theme you could get doing this kind of thing. These days it is also very easy to create an MP3 and post it to someplace like "MP3.com" where you can stream the song or download it, whatever. It would be alot of listening, but isn't that the biggest skill that everyone in maplepost can boast?? Hmmmmmmmmm.......

I went to the last one, and I'm getting too old for this sort of thing. I think it was $60 last year, and less than that for the first one. It entails standing around in the hot sun all day, and then all night, unless you want to sit on the baseball diamond outfield. Sound quality is best described as the occasional distant thump and roar over the crowd noise. Bring a blanket or a chair, but you'll have to stand to see the stage. Bring binoculars too because that stage is WAY far away. The beer tent has BOTH kinds of beer, Coors Light AND Blue. The drinking compound is fenced off at the back of the enclosure and it's awash in mud, plastic cups, puke, garbage and comatose teens by the end of the night. This venue is more suited to bands like April Wine or Teenage Head than bands that have some subtlety in the music. But it's GREAT if you're looking for a teenage beer drinking par-tay! Go to Summerfolk the weekend before instead. There, I've now officially become an "old-fart".

Hey, I get a backstage pass, have my meals with "stars", mix with media weasels, stay in a local hotel, have free beer, and generally have a grand old time. And, yes, because of the silly quiz thingummy that Michael Wrycraft and I do, I get to do all of that at Summerfolk the weekend before as well! Life, as they say, is grand!! Of course Watershed isn't for everyone. Certainly not for Steve, or, perhaps, anyone who has long since celebrated their 25th birthday. Probably not for most MaplePost readers. As for me, at a pensionable age, I get paid to promote Watershed, I enjoy the day very much, and my body can still hold up as I patrol the site, hang backstage, and watch at least some of most of the acts' performances But Watershed II did have a paid attendance of 16,000 last year, and it's way past 18,000 so far for this year, and it's not going to happen til Sept. 1. It's obviously meeting some sort of demand, people obviously like the "group experience" (with all that music thumping away!), and Watershed is obviously doing something right. The 25,000 people who will be there will - mostly, I hope - have a grand time. And my guess is that there'll be a lot of disappointed people hunting for tickets at the last moment!

CIC has told me that some of the legislation has been changed to continue to require licenced venues to process work permits. afterward, in being interviewed by greg quill on the subject, he told me that CIC is *not* changing the legislation (it has passed, but is now being implimented). if greg's sources are accurate, the original good news for presenters holds. if he is being misinformed, some clubs will be paying immigration. festivals will be exempt either way. my guess is that the union will have its way, but it will largely apply to cover bands coming in for one week runs in hotels. they already had this concession, as cover bands multimonth (classical) people, film workers and table dancers were to continue to be processed. if anyone has additional info, pls jump in. regards, derek. - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From pmsinc@interlog.com Wed Apr 3 11:57:58 2002 Date: Wed Apr 3 11:57:58 2002 From: Alex Sinclair pmsinc@interlog.com Subject: [mplpost] Work visas I have no idea what's going on with regard to Canadian border requirements, but I assure you that the USA still requires Canadian musicians to pay handsomely for the privilege of performing in that country.

My experience is that the AF of M is very helpful when I need a US work visa. It irks me a little to see them slagged just because some Canadian promoters want to get US acts a little cheaper. Free trade notwithstanding, there actually is a border there. It's heavily defended by armed guards and massive tariffs on softwood lumber. And fees for work visas.

It is my understanding that this tariff is based on a percentage of the gross amount of fees paid to festival performers as opposed to a percentage of ticket revenues. I'd very much like to learn more about this agreement and would appreciate feedback from anyone in the know. There are some obvious questions that arise from this. Question #1: Are all Canadian festivals aware of this and are all Canadian festivals eligible? If not, what are the criteria for inclusion in this program? Since we at the Nickelodeon Music Club currently pay a SOCAN tariff of 3% of gross ticket revenues it strikes me that paying a percentage of our gross performer fees would be a much better deal.

While I'm waiting for the nice lady from Citizenship and Immigration (Alison Harvey, 613 957-3577) to return my call, I thought I'd comment on Alex' message. Yes, of course there's a reason we should be castigating the AFofM for insisting that Americans have to pay to play in Canada. The fact is, of course, that Canadians DO have to pay to cross into the US. This is wrong, and the fact that we decided NOT to charge visiting musicians, and then reneged on the deal, now adds up to the classic question: since when do two wrongs make a right? The fact that border crossing fees were not to be charged, under the proposed new regulations, was the biggest stick we had to convince the Americans not to charge for Canadians, thus resulting in a "free" border. >My experience is that the AF of M is very helpful when I need a US work >visa. Of COURSE the AFofM is helpful when Alex wants to play in the States; their muscle in sorting out this aggravating waste of paper and paperwork is why hundreds of musicians are in the AFofM in the first place; if there were no fees to work in America, dozens of members would quit, because the union - in their view - does nothing else for them. >It irks me a little to see them slagged just because some Canadian >promoters want to get US acts a little cheaper. That is SO much b.s. I can hardly believe it. Hey, when I bring in American artists (and frequently hire Canadians to open for them) the artist pays at the border, I repay the artist, and I include the fee in my show budget - which means it becomes one more reason why ticket prices are what they are. Every time Alex pays to see an American artist,, he can console himself that HE is helping pay the fee in the form of a higher ticket price. Just as germane to this is that collecting this money costs us all as taxpayers. The money they collect does not pay for the cost of collecting it - this was one of the reasons that the border crossing fees were canceled. We have a gutless government, and a died-in-the-wool reactionary AFofM in Canada more concerned with protecting its turf and delivering a "service" to members who wouldn't need it if there were no fees, and one that certainly isn't helping its American members. Finally, we have an impediment to the free exchange of music that costs us all money as taxpayers. Great deal, Alex!

The key to understanding all of this is appreciating the distinction between Employment Validation and Employment Authorization. Employment Validation is issued by Human Resources & Development Canada, and is a safeguard for the Canadian workforce. In a nutshell, it is designed to prevent foreign workers from taking jobs away from eligible Canadians. An offer of employment must be validated by HRDC in circumstances where it is possible that a Canadian could do the job just as well as any foreign worker. One such circumstance is in a club, where the primary activity is bar sales and the music, in HRDC's eyes, is merely there to bolster that activity. Some venues and festivals have what is known as an AO8 exemption, where the employer has demonstrated that their primary raison-d'etre is arts presentation, and therefore are not required to have their offers of employment validated. Employment Authorization (often called work permits or work visas) are issued by Citizenship & Immigration Canada and acts as a control to the flow of humanity into and out of Canada. The authorization is only issued once a prospective worker has been deemed eligible to enter and work in Canada and the job for which they are coming to Canada to perform has been either validated or covered under an exemption. The recent changes all centre around CIC, where they intended to allow performing artists engaging in "short term" (still awaiting clear definition on the term) contracts to enter Canada as visitors, discarding the need for Employment Authorization. It is my understanding that as a visitor, one need not have an offer of employment validated by HRDC. Simple enough until HRDC decided (under pressure from the union, it has been rumoured) that artists destined to clubs, hotels, bars, etc. would continue to require Employment Validation regardless. At this point the windows get well fogged. Does the need for validation therefore mean that the musicians are no longer entering as visitors? Only time will tell. Ultimately it is worth bearing in mind that we are dealing with two different sections of government, which are inextricably, not to mention inexplicably linked.

See you at the show! From Terry's Website: TERRY TUFTS has been playing professionally for three decades. His music is inspired and his lyrics speak straight from the heart. His guitar playing is from the same school that created John Fahey and Leo Kottke: strong melodies supported by uniquely crafted finger-style orchestrations, painting stirring backdrops for some engaging stories. His rapport with the audience is strengthened by a lightning deftness and a command of the fingerboard that leaves the listener breathless. TERRY was born on Lake Erie in Gasline, Ontario, Canada and grew up in the U.S., Italy, Eastern and Central Canada. His talents have carried him all over the world where he has been employed by numerous artists in the studio and in live performance for his abilities on a variety of instruments and a seemingly limitless vocal range. He has released four independently produced albums. His fifth album, WALK ON, was released in February of 2001 on the Borealis record label, produced by Ian Tamblyn. TERRY is the 1997 regional winner of Standard Radio’s National Songwriting Competition and the only two-time winner of the Ontario Council Of Folk Festival’s Songs From The Heart competition, taking that honour in 1998 and 2001. TERRY TUFTS blends a well-traveled personal history into music without boundaries. From Kathryn's Website: Kathryn Briggs began making music at the age of seven and it gradually became her life's work. As soon as her studies at the piano began, she was eager to write her own songs, writing her first at eight. While studying with several diversely talented teachers, she began to teach neighbourhood children and after completing high school started a teaching career in earnest. After establishing her business with great success, Kathryn's interest in writing was rekindled. Greatly influenced by the emergence of artists such as Tori Amos, Enya and Liz Story, Kathryn was encouraged by the growing popularity of women & their pianos and her writing flourished. She has since presented her compositions to receptive audiences across Canada.

This is energetic, eclectic instrumental music- Anne is an expressive, no-holds-barred fiddler/violinist and a fine composer and arranger. Should be a great night! Hugh's room is at and Anne's site is Then, on Saturday, April 6, we have BRENT TITCOMB at THE ORANGEVILLE OPERA HOUSE -A beautiful auditorium in the old stone Town Hall in the heart of downtown Orangeville- this will feature Brent with Jason Fowler (guitars) and Al Cross (drums) with some special guests. -On Wednesday, April 10th, we've got BRENT TITCOMB at THE BAMBOO CLUB- yes, that's Queen Street East of Spadina- Brent and son Liam have been involved with the steel band Afropan for several years, and this gig will bring some members of that troupe to Brent's music for a move-your-body type of night! Brent's site is Back at HUGH'S ROOM on Saturday, April 13, we've got the FIRST ANNIVERSARY NIGHT, when I get to play with BETTY AND THE BOBS (a mad band featuring Soozi Schlanger, Suzie Vinnick, Katherine Wheatley, Wendell Ferguson, Bill Brennan and Rich Greenspoon). Also featured this night are the inimitable Ken and Chris Whiteley, Jory Nash, Tim Harrison, and more- all for twelve dollars! Betty and the Bobs site is Check this one- Thursday, April 18 is PERTH COUNTY CONSPIRACY at HUGH'S ROOM- This is the band I "ran away" to join in the early 70's- they had a yellow school bus with a wood stove, sold apple cider and wooden toys at gigs, used tomato juice cans for stage lights and made some of the first truly independent records in Canada. A bands of true originals- tonight will feature both founding members Cedric Smith and Richard Keelan with later (still talking early 70's here) members Terry Jones, Paul Gellman, and myself, with guest percussionist Matthew Shawn Fleming. Performing new material and old, this group of people have been getting together once a year in Stratford, and it's about time there was more than one gig a year! Bring your Guatemalan shirts and sandals, but best to make a reservation for this one! ($18 in advance, $20 at the door) And next we've got BOBBY WATT'S CD RELEASE at HUGH'S ROOM on Friday, April 19- Bobby's a fine singer and songwriter and he's got the thickest Scots brogue of anyone I've ever heard. Accompanists include myself, Tom Leighton, and Ben Grossman. Closely followed by BOBBY WATT at THE VITAL SPARK, in WHITBY on April 20. Thanks- and maybe I should offer a free CD to anybody who makes it to all of the above gigs!

It irks me a little to see them slagged just because some Canadian >promoters want to get US acts a little cheaper. by way of clarification..... the issue is not a us/canadian issue- it is about any artists from outside canada.... africa, belize, finland, everywhere else....and the existing state of affairs was targeting some kinds of artists- like folk- while artists in the big pop machine- kiss, jewel etc- were exempt, and all sports teams in the nba, nhl etc. while those of us organizing festivals were being required to devote substantial resources to this ($4-$5,000 dollars a year in my case), we were also dealing with reduced service overseas that was and is making it more challenging every year to even get artists from outside of canada to our events. international artists are a crucial part of the mix for my event, in the same way that artists from other parts of canada and artists from vancouver are a crucial part. the contact with artists 'from away" has led to a lot of friendships and doors opening for more work in the u.s. and elsewhere. my festival features a majority of canadian artists every year anyway, and the effect of this tariff was that i would have fewer dollars to hire artists with each year period. it also has had a chilling effect on other music scenes here- ruining what was once a very symbiotic relationship between artists in vancouver and artists in seattle and portland... where they would invite each other to come and open for each other in their respective towns, building audiences and creating MORE opportunity for canadian artists the u.s. and as richard has so ... umm...eloquently... pointed out, ultimately, it is not a case of the artists paying, it is a question of the public here paying anyway. it's not as though foreign governments were re-imbursing their artists for the costs involved. i have a very big problem when it comes to defining what we might do according to what the u.s. does. the world is bigger than the u.s., and the ideas and "solutions" of the u.s. government are rarely the best that can be thought of in any number of situations, including this one. and the beat goes on.... dugg simpson "I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas.

MORE INFO: Trevor Moat - innermusica 416-921-4377 http://www.innermusica.com - info@innermusica.com Katie Wreford - Studio A-Mirador 519-748-9599 http://www.studioa-mirador.com - katie@studioa-mirador.com ARCHIE FISHER is regarded as one of the key celtic music pioneers, blending elements of skiffle music and Scots influences with his unique sonqwriting skills and particularly distinctive voice. Along with Martin Carthy and Davy Graham, Archie Fisher integrated the steel-string guitar - the leading instrument of protest, melody, and vocal accompaniment in the early 1960s - into the core of modern celtic music. Archie fashioned his own tunings to suit the moods of his art, and in so doing created a framework on which revered guitarists after him, such as Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Pierre Ben-Susan and David Essig, even Joni Mitchell, continue to create today. Now in his sixties and with a voice and wit richer than ever, Archie Fisher remains a vital force in the world of folk music as a BBC broadcaster and radio show host, folk festival organizer, and consummate touring musician. In particular, his influence and contribution to the development of the Canadian folk music scene cannot be over-estimated. Stan Rogers upheld Archie Fisher as one of the greatest folksingers of the times, recording and performing a number of his songs. After Stan's untimely death in 1983, Archie toured extensively with Garnet Rogers and recorded two albums on Rogers' label. He has appeared at most major folk festivals in North America, though his tours are infrequent. If one is to search for the musical connections between modern celtic music and centuries of gaelic tradition, many are sure to be made through the work of Archie Fisher. INNERMUSICA specializes in presenting Musicians Musicians, those who are regarded by their critics and peers as being amongst the leading practitioners of their art, regardless of their commercial success. Innermusica has presented over 50 events since 1987 in British Columbia and Ontario, spanning folk, classical, and international genres. Past presentations have included Loreena McKennitt, Don Ross, David Essig, Willie P. Bennett, Martin Carthy, and many others. Innermusica is best known to K-W audiences for presenting Milan-based baroque superstars il Giardino Armonico at the Maureen Forrester Recital Hall at Wilfred Laurier University in January, 2001. THE WATERLOO COMMUNITY ARTS CENTRE is located conveniently in downtown Waterloo (25 Regina Street South, 519-884-4577), with ample parking across the street. Prior to its recent renovation and conversion into a non-profit public forum for the arts, the building was known as The Button Factory. Its high ceilings, open design, and solid stone-brick-timber construction make it an ideal venue to showcase fine acoustic artists such as Archie Fisher.

April 20th Time: 8pm Place: Birch Cliff United Church, 33 East Rd. (corner of Kingston Rd. & Warden Ave. in east end Toronto) Admission: $12 at the door Info: 416-264-2235 ________________________________________________________ Three outstanding individuals in the world of folk, blues, and swing, Mose Scarlett, Jackie Washington and Ken Whiteley have created a magical combination, both on recordings and in live conceryt performances. They began a loose association in the late eithties, working on a recording which eventually emerged as the Juno-nominated album "Where Old Friends Meet". While they have continued with their significant individual careers, both audiences and the performers themselves cherish the warm, often humorous and always musical time they spend on stage together. In 1995 they recorded a three-CD boxed set entitled "Three by Three" which Grammy-winning music critic Rob Bowman cited as "the best roots recording of the year" on CBC radio. The set consisted of an individual CD by each artist with contributions by all three on each other's discs. In 1998 the album "Midnight Choo Choo", featuring Jackie in a variety of settings from solo to big band, received such accolades as "an utter delight" by Living Blues magazine. 1999 was also eventful. Jackie Washington received the "Blues With a Feeling Award" for a lifetime of outstanding contributions to the blues community. Mose Scarlett completed his 6th highly successful tour of Great Britain. Ken Whiteley saw his production work receive Juno nominations for the 7th straight year and a second Grammy nomination. Jackie also garnered the 2001 Estelle Klein Lifetime Achievement Award from the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals at the annual conference last Oct. They have over 125 years of playing experience between the three of them and still ahve alot more love and great songs to share. An evening with Mose Scarlett, Jackie Washington and Ken Whiteley will lift your spirits, put a smile on your face and leave you with a lasting memory. Join us at Acoustic Harvest for this special event. Lillian, Sue, Dave, Matthew, Lydia, Jason-sound engineers extraordinaire. _____________________________________________________ Lillian Aida Wauthier Acoustic Harvest Folk Club: http://acousticharvest.cjb.net Fiddles and Frets Music Ontario Council of Folk Festivals Lillipat - Music for Young Children Mariposa Folk Foundation Email: lillianw@interlog.com Telephone: 416-264-2235/Fax: 264-2168 _____________________________________________________ check out Colin Stewart: http://colinstewart.cjb.net/ "You must ensure, no matter the cost, that the legacy of these great ships is not lost." - John Prince "Well it's alright...

FREE admission. Worlds of Music Toronto, the Toronto Blues Society the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals and the Songwriters Association of Canada have formed a new four-way alliance to present MUSIC MONEY. MUSIC MONEY is an opportunity for emerging and established musicians and songwriters to talk face-to-face with the 'right people' from three major arts funding agencies, and learn the most effective methods of securing funding for their music projects. MUSIC MONEY is an in-depth workshop that allows musicians and songwriters of all genres, at all stages of career development, to meet representatives from three important arts funding agencies, including: - Richard Davis, Program Officer, Music Section Canada Council for the Arts http://www.canadacouncil.ca - Arlene Loney, Program Officer, Music Ontario Arts Council http://www.arts.on.ca - Mark Watts, General Manager FACTOR http://www.factor.ca Attendees will start the day with "A Coffee with the Funders" - an opportunity for participating musicians to meet, and speak personally with, the funders. Facilitated introductions and an informal chat to set the tone for the day's discussions. Light refreshments will be served. The next portion of the day is focused on de-mystifying the application process and giving artists tips on preparing and presenting more effective grants proposals. Each of the funders will, in turn, lead a discussion on the grant application process in one of three areas of project funding: recording, songwriting, promotion, or touring. In these sessions the funders will be paired with previous grant recipients, including Katherine Wheatley, Maryem Tollar of Maza Meze and Mernie, and Madagascar Slim. Representing the community of musicians, these grant savvy artists will play the role of applicants in the sessions, communicating the interests and issues of the audience. The afternoon closes with a 'inter-agency' discussion of new programs, new money available, and programs that fewer artists apply to. The schedule for the MUSIC MONEY afternoon is: Noon-1pm: A Coffee with the Funders 1pm-2pm: Sound Recording, Songwriting and Live Performance grant applications, lead by Arlene Loney (OAC) 2pm-3pm: Promotion & Marketing grant applications, lead by Mark Watts (FACTOR) 3pm-3:15pm: break 3:15pm-4:15pm: Touring grant applications, lead by Richard Davis (CC) 4:15pm-5pm: New programs and new money, with all discussion leaders and René Lavoie (Program Officer, Music Section, Canada Council for the Arts) (TBC). 5pm-6pm: Cash bar social.

Inspired to ask for a guitar by a camp counselor who played ukulele; grateful he didn't ask for one of those. Learned to play at the feet of his parents' hi-fi speakers, listening to, among others, Mississippi John Hurt, Dave Van Ronk, Reverend Gary Davis, David Bromberg, Bob Dylan, and Patrick Sky. Wrote his first song at 13 listening to his dad's AM/FM/SW radio (removed from the family Rambler for the occasion) for the most beautiful girl who walked the high school corridors and around whom he could never remember how to speak English. Performed regularly from a very young age both as a solo act (first gig, beer bash for college boys: they didn't care much for Joni Mitchell or ragtime, both of which were in his set) and as a guitarist for all brand and manner of singer. Caught the poetry bug in college, symptoms of which included hanging out with poets in bars in the east end of town, and publishing poems and translations all over the place. Currently augments his work on his own work (read: songs, records) producing recordings for other songwriters in Toronto where he now lives. Loves music, bicycles, truth, animals, G-d. ************************************************************************ Special thanks to our Groovy Sponsors: Long & McQuade Musical Instruments Edwards Record World/CD Replay AMATO PIZZA - 416.730.8989 See & hear ya Monday!

Dear mapleposters, This paragraph brought back an old (scary) memory that highlights everything wrong when such policies are born. Back in the 1979 when I lived in Windsor I wanted to go west to seek my fortune and fame and visit a musician friend in Seattle. I answered an ad in the Detroit paper for a drive away car and arranged to deliver a Honda civic to it's owner in Portland Oregon.For this service I was being paid the princely fee of 50 bucks for gas. Contract signed I returned home to Windsor to pack and prepare for the big trip. I asked a friend drive me over on the appointed day. At the border I explained my mission to the American customs people. They hauled us in for an interview(read interrogation). I was informed We were being issued a denial of entry status to the USA because I was taking a job away from an american by being paid $50 to drive the car to Portland. When I protested that my friend should not be written up for just transporting me there, the customs officer unbuttoned his holster and put his hand on his gun and enough was said. - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From penguin1002@yahoo.com Sat Apr 6 07:47:18 2002 Date: Sat Apr 6 07:47:18 2002 From: John Rae penguin1002@yahoo.com Subject: [mplpost] Speeding ticket A police officer stops a blonde for speeding and asks her very nicely if he could see her license.

The music is a mix of original and traditional Celtic and Classical,with several brief experimental improvisations, some of which have been altered with digital delay. There is also a version of the traditional tune "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" based on Led Zeppelin's rendition from their first album.

Here's an exerpt from my latest self-serving newsletter, in the hopes it be of some interest Greetings to you all, Way overdue to blather, and I had intended to make this a megapost and tell you everything that I've been up to the last couple of months. Better, I think, to just let you know about stuff that's up-and-coming. First of all, I hope you all remembered to turn your clocks ahead today. Okay, go do it now; I won't tell. Later today, is an open stage session of the White Oak Folk Club in Oakville. At this point, Spooky Moon is planning to be by, and do a couple of songs. Y'all come. This coming Tuesday, (9th), you Brantford area folks might be inclined to investigate Whistler's Pub. A group called Riversong is playing from 7 PM onward, and are worth a listen. In getting over to Friday (12th), a reminder that there is no Brantford Folk Club this week, since the hotel is fully booked for a convention. Alternatively, I'm planning on heading down to the Fonthill Community Coffee House (near St. Catharine's) open stage. I'm enjoying this club, when I'm able to get to it. It's a friendly venue, and somewhat reminds me of the old Caledonia Folk Club (ah, sweet memories). Which brings us to Saturday (13th). Its concert night at the White Oak Folk Club and features Mark Haines and Tom Leighton. I don't think I can recommend these guys highly enough; I guess you'd have to say that I'm a fan. I have also had the opportunity to jam with these guys a number of times and I guarantee the quality of their musicianship. As well, and they are superb showman and a good time will be had. Not only that, but the $18 price of admission includes a late-night cold buffet. Culture and comestibles. Food for the soul and the body, as it were. Spooky Moon stuff: OK, I've already mentioned the White Oak Folk Club open stage tonight. Next Saturday (20th), if you're up early enough, you can catch us on the Jim Marino's "Free Wheeling Folk Show" somewhere between 10 AM and noon. The show is on CFMU radio 93.3 FM, and on the Internet type in cfmu.mcmaster.ca in the URL window and then click on the "Webcast" button. And on Tuesday (23rd), we're taking part in a concert to celebrate Earth Day. This is taking place at the Tranzac Cclub in Toronto and festivities begin at 7 PM. Here's a list of some of the other performers that will be taking part: Brian Gladstone(w/ Tony Quarrington, Maureen Brown, Bonnie Gladstone) Madd Scientists - Jim Layeux and Melwood Cutlery Norm Hacking Danny Bakan w/ Christopher McKhool Rodney Brown Daisy Debolt w/ Marg Stowe Nonie Crete Aengus Finnan Lynn Harrison Linda Saslove And that takes care of events in the immediate future. Other stuff: My website calendar has been considerably updated, and now extends up to and including August, with all the OCFF festivals listed and as many others as I've been able to find out about. Also, I've added several maps to the "Club Listing" page. Insomnia can help you achieve so much. Enough fer now. Y'all be well . . .

It will cost $6K to get them there -- they made $5K at least. We may be geographically challenged, but our wallets walk! NF-LB (Yukon Transplant for 13 yrs) BODRA ALIYAH is SRO for her Billie Halliday Night with Jazz on the Wing at the Yukon Arts Centre tonight, AND...

Sold Right Out, combined capacity 2200 seats. Kinda makes you feel good, getting 10% of the total population for one weekend! Dunnit? Just remember, all you strugglin' types down South and 'Outside' -- if you're good, you are always welcome here in the Yukon. Robert Service called it "The Land That God Forgot".

The S.O.M sound is catching the ears of a fast growing fanbase and the band is packing houses and electrifying audiences wherever they play, both domestically and overseas. The band has generated a very impressive discography in a relatively short time with most of their seven albums featuring the songwriting of Dave Carroll. The depth and diversity of Dave's gift is showcased best on the latest all original S.O.M album, "Among The Living".

Mark Haines and Tom Leighton established themselves as a duo in 1992 with the release of their first CD, "Foot To Floor, Repeat On Beat". They perform an original and traditional repertoire influenced by their Celtic and North American folk roots. Engaging humour and personality has made them popular in several circuits performing in theatres, festivals, concerts, and clubs. Their ramblings have taken them along Canadian highways from Ontario to the Maritimes, into the mountains of New York, across the sea to Britain and around the world to Taipei, Taiwan. Mark's voice is one of a kind - add Tom's superb harmony arranging skills, and the stories and pictures in their songs come vividly to life. They are multi-instrumentalists combining the "tug at your heart strings" traditional fiddle, accordion, guitar, bouzouki, and bodhran, blended with the "turn on your ears" new technology of synthesizers, tone generators and processors. With all this at their command, they make a very big sound, Tom sometimes playing three instruments at once; left hand pumping the accordion and bass, the right hand thumping the drum, while his feet deftly work the pedals of the keyboards... Listen in and read on at: ____________________________________________________________________ Fri Apr 12 - The Wyrd Sisters 8:30pm, $15adv/$17 The Wyrd Sisters have been described as unique, original and provocative. Founded by songwriters Nancy Reinhold and Kim Baryluk in 1991, The Wyrd Sisters have gained international recognition for their intensely personal writing and enticing vocal harmonies. Their songs undescore the ambiguities, absurdities and stark realities of life, touching us deeply. Joined by keyboardist and vocalist Kiva, the group weaves a powerful vocal landscape where spine-tingling harmonies, creating a sound at once haunting and seductive. The Wyrd Sisters' first CD, "Inside the Dreaming", earned them a nomination for a 1996 Juno Award for Best Roots and Traditional Album-Group. Their third release, "Raw Voice" (1997), was celebrated by critics and the public, and not surprisingly, also nominated for a Juno Award. Their most recent recording, "Sin and Other Salvations", was released in July, 2000, just in time to be among the top sellers at every summer festival the band played - it too was nominated for a 2002 Juno Award for Best Roots & Traditional Album! Need we say more - hope you join us for a night of incredible music with The Wyrd Sisters! ____________________________________________________________________ Sat Apr 13 - HUGH'S Room 1yr Anniversary Gala 8:30pm, $12 featuring Betty & The Bobs Rick Fielding Tim Harrison Claire Jenkins The Madd Scientists (Jim Layeux & Melwood Cutlery) Jory Nash Chris & Ken Whiteley & some surprise musical guests!

Wasylenky mwasylenky@rogers.com Subject: [mplpost] Musically challenged In case anyone is wondering, Tom Rush put on a great show at the Hugh's Room on Saturday night. The only down side for some of us who know him from further back than we want to remember is that he did not do many of his older numbers which are for us the music of his trademark style. In spite of that I enjoyed the show immensely. It also rekindled my interest in his version of "Nine Pound Hammer". I think it is played in E as are many other versions which are built around an ascending chord riff from E up to A and back down. I am feeling musically handicapped because I simply can't find that progression. Can anyone out there fill me in? I have a hunch it's one of this things that is very simple but only after you find it. I would appreciate any advice that might both end my frustration and improve my playing. Thanks in advance.

The sum of $75,000 (Canadian) was raised from sales of her most recent release, double live CD "Live in Paris and Toronto". The money represents $10.00 per copy sold in Greece, and is earmarked for ongoing disaster relief activities following the disastrous earthquakes in that country in 1999. Greece is the first country where "Live in Paris and Toronto" - which was released in 1999 on MçKennitt's own label, Quinlan Road, and distributed by the Greek independent label FM Records - has reached gold status. McKennitt has raised $3.5 million (Canadian) from worldwide sales of "Live in Paris and Toronto" for the Cook-Rees Memorial Fund for Water Search and Safety, a Stratford-based charitable fund which supports initiatives to promote water safety. However, the singer was so touched by the 1999 earthquakes in Greece and Turkey that sales in both those territories were earmarked instead for disaster relief. Sofie Varvitsioti, vice-president of the Hellenic Red Cross, said that the donation would contribute to the "dynamic continuation" of the organization's work in facing disaster situations. "We are deeply touched by the donation made possible from the proceeds of her album sales," she added. McKennitt has long been a popular figure in Greece. Her most recent studio album, 1997's "The Book of Secrets" debuted at #1 on the Greek album charts, and, like "Live in Paris and Toronto" and 1994's "The Mask and Mirror" has been certified gold in that country. Greek megastar Haris Alexiou has recorded two of her songs, adding her own lyrics to McKennitt's music. Loreena McKennitt is one of Canada's most successful international recording artists. With gold and platinum awards to her credit in Canada, the U.S., France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Australia and New Zealand, her total record sales around the world are now close to 12,000,000. -30- For further information, contact: Richard Flohil, Richard Flohil & Associates, Toronto, Ont.

It's hard to believe that a whole year has passed since Richard Carson opened HUGH'Sroom here in Toronto! Some folks may not know some of the background. The club is named for Hugh, Richard's brother, who was a man with an incredible passion for life! Involved in song circles, folk clubs and festivals for years, it was his dream to establish a club to present a day-in day-out, year-long festival of music, from the traditional to the contemporary! Sadly, Hugh died before this dream could come into fruition. As a tribute and celebration of his life and the vibrant roots music community, Richard opened Hugh's Room's doors on April 14, 2001. More than this, Richard says, he's not only doing this for, but with Hugh, who is still very much with us, playing an integral & guiding role (& lord knows he wouldn't miss a great concert!). What better way to celebrate than by featuring a medley of exceptional talent at the Anniversary Gala - all of whom have been instrumental (sorry, pun intended) in making this year a great success! We hope you can join us on Sat Apr 13 to mark this year, and to kick off the next with: Betty & The Bobs Rick Fielding Tim Harrison Claire Jenkins The Madd Scientists (Jim Layeux & Melwood Cutlery) Jory Nash Chris & Ken Whiteley & some surprise musical guests and treats! $12 8:30pm 2261 Dundas St. West Hope to see you there, Lisa Weitz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Betty & The Bobs Betty and the Bobs was formed as an extracurricular vehicle for a group of Toronto musicians and friends who had worked together in different bands. The mandate is to do all the songs they have ever wanted to do, but would never get around to doing in their own bands. This includes a bunch of old tunes they grew up with -- country, blues, R&B, Beatles, gospel, old jazz, as well as some wacky, original songs. The Bettys are: Soozi (Swamperella) Schlanger (vocals); Katherine Wheatley, (vocals, guitar) and Suzie Vinnick (vocals, guitar, mandolin). The Bobs are David Woodhead (bass, guitar, lap steel); Wendell Ferguson (guitar); Rich Greenspoon (drums); and Bill Brennan (piano, accordian, percussion). Soozi Schlanger is a singer and fiddle player who specializes in Cajun, old blues and country music. She leads the traditional Cajun band Swamperella, which has performed at Lillith Fair and has been winning a keen and burgeoning audience at Cajun dances in Toronto. Suzie Vinnick's star is definitely on the rise. A singer-songwriter with great depth and versatility, her debut album, "Angel In The Sidelines", met with enthusiastic reviews tagging Suzie as "one to watch" on the Canadian music scene. A new album is in the works. Katherine Wheatley's newest CD, "Habits and Heroes", features songs that evoke her humour, her uncanny depth of observation, and her passion for characters and life¹s unpredictable marvels. She has performed at folk festivals and in concert series and clubs across Canada. David Woodhead is best known for his melodic and personal style on the fretless electric bass and for his creative instrumental work on many albums in the contemporary folk field. Wendell Ferguson has travelled the globe while accompanying a who¹s who in both the folk arena (Gordon Lightfoot, Quartette, Bob Snider, Cindy Church) and country field (George Fox, Shania Twain, The Dixie Chicks). He put together the contemporary band, Coda the West, back around 1992. Five top-40 hits won him a Juno nomination in 1995. Last year, he released his own CD, "I Pick Therefore I Am", to rave reviews. Bill Brennan is a percussionist and pianist who plays in an impressive array of musical settings, ranging from the Loretto Reid Band (Celtic) to the National Ballet. He was principal percussionist with the Canadian Opera Company, has been musical director of Stuart McLean¹s Vinyl Cafe, and has played with the Toronto Pops Orchestra backing up such jazz greats as Dizzy Gillespie and Cab Calloway. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick Fielding "A blues guitarist of style and sensitivity ... has the ability to make his audience feel as comfortable as he himself appears to be ...invokes a different and possibly better time and place." -- Toronto Star "Fielding has a gift for the story song." -- New England Folk Almanac Rick Fielding is a musician who loves playing, teaching, and talking about music, whether on stage, in a classroom, or over a kitchen table. Growing up in Montreal in the 1960's in a musical family, Rick was influenced by musicians like Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, Rev. Gary Davis, Pete Seeger, Josh White, and The Weavers. After moving to Toronto in 1969, Rick quickly became a fixture on the Toronto folk festival and club scene, where he met and worked with musicians like Gordon Lightfoot, Ian and Silvia, Tom Paxton, Arlene Mantle, and dozens of others. He was a founding member of one Toronto's first bluegrass groups, the infamous "Gangreen Boys," with David Wilcox and Tony Quarrington. Since that time, Rick has toured extensively throughout Canada and the U.S. as a solo performer, establishing himself as a favourite at folk clubs and festivals. In addition, Rick is well-known on Toronto's airwaves as the host of the folk show "Acoustic Workshop" on CIUT Radio in Toronto. With a repertoire spanning country, blues, bluegrass, traditional ballads, contemporary folk, and more, Rick is an accomplished musician on guitar, banjo, dobro, mandolin, and autoharp. He can pick with the best of them, but he is also known as a sensitive interpreter whose tasteful arrangements let the songs shine through. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Harrison "A beguiling songwriter." -- Acoustic Guitar "An outstanding performer who deserves to be heard!" -- Sonny Ochs, Presenter of Phil Ochs Tribute Concerts, WRPI-FM Tim Harrison is one of Canada's finest singer-songwriters on the folk and acoustic music landscape today, whose poignant themes and vivid images reveal him as a storyteller of our time, an archetypal traveller singing with compassion and hope. Hailing from Owen Sound and now living in Toronto, Tim made his debut in 1979 with the appearance of the much heralded recording, "Train Going East", produced by Stan Rogers and engineered by Daniel Lanois. Since then, he has recorded "In The Barroom Light" (1985), "The Stars Above" (1995), "Bridges" (1997), "Tim Harrison" (1999), and "Sara And The Sea" (2001), all of which have garnered accolades at home and abroad. His are signature albums of stirring ballads influenced by the traditions, yet which have Tim's inimitable stamp. He is currently recording "Wheatfield With Crows" due for release later this spring. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Madd Scientists (Jim Layeux & Melwood Cutlery) Jim Layeux "Layeux's first (self-titled) album remains one of the lost gems of Canadian folk." -- Dirty Linen "Layeux's natural voice spins tales of the land and the people, a fine example of contemporary folk music." -- Canadian Folk Music Bulletin Jim Layeux grew up in Bell’s Corners, just west of Ottawa bordering the farming country of the Ottawa Valley. At the age of 21 he was heading downtown to learn his craft in what remains today a healthy Ottawa folk community. After a few years playing in coffeehouses and bars, Jim arrived in Toronto for a visit...and stayed for 12 years. During this period, he was involved in the Mariposa Folk Foundation, appeared at dozens of folk clubs, folk festivals, benefits, and schools across Ontario, and recorded five albums! Influenced by the songwriting styles of Tom Paxton, Gordon Lightfoot & Bob Dylan, Jim's ever-observant writer's eye and poignant story-songs tell many a tale of our country's characters, landscape and struggles. You'll also find him reaching well beyond our country's borders in his latest and truly exceptional CD, "Red Dust", with songs about starfaring sailors, red dust & life beyond our earthly imaginings! Melwood Cutlery “One of the most beautiful male voices I have ever heard” -- Jane Siberry Melwood Cutlery has delighted audiences from Dawson City, Yukon to Austin, Texas with his wit and mischievous sense of humour, as well as his clever lyrics that can range from tongue-in-cheek and provocative to sincere and romantic. His songwriting ability ranges widely, from ballads and lullabies to country, blues and rock. He’s been known to yodel, when the occasion demands. For eight years, he played hometown Ottawa before his band, The Fashion Plates, released an album of original songs that were played as far away as Switzerland. He was lured to Toronto by a songwriting deal and has lived, performed and recorded here ever since. We are sure glad he did! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jory Nash Jory Nash is a Canadian contemporary singer-songwriter based in Toronto. He primarily plays the acoustic guitar, but uses the piano and banjo as alternative writing foils. Jory has traveled extensively throughout much of North America playing house concerts, club gigs, folk festivals and radio shows which has resulted in the creation of large, fiercely dedicated grassroots following. His music has been played on over 200 radio stations across North America and his CD's have sold over 2,000 copies, all independently. A love of traditional Appalachian balladry and the sounds of acoustic instruments like mandolin, acoustic guitar and dobro steered Jory towards train songs, work songs, gospel, bluegrass, and perhaps most importantly, other folk-influenced singer-songwriters. This musical base, coupled with an affection for complexity in lyrical phrasings and ideas have helped in developing Jory’s sound. Add a dash of roots and country-rock, a spoonful of R & B, a pinch of jazz, a hint of mint and a soft yet resonant voice and the picture starts to become a little clearer. But the only way to really get a full idea of Jory Nash’s music is to give him a listen! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris & Ken Whiteley In a career that spans over thirty years, performances across North America and 5 Juno nominations, they deservedly won the respect of critics, the admiration of their peers and the love of their fans. Chris and Ken, born in the States and growing up in Toronto, have absorbed and mastered an astonishing range of musical skills. they became professional musicians as teenagers with a group called the Original Sloth Band, with whom they recorded three albums and appeared on Saturday Night Live, backing Leon Redbone. The Whiteley’s folk festival debut was as “new songwriters” at Mariposa ‘69 and for a number of years they carried on multiple musical personalities, playing blues, swing and a multiplicity of roots styles with the “Sloths,” while developing as songwriters and honing their studio skills accompanying other artists. In the eighties, still playing blues and jazz, Chris and Ken also explored separate musical avenues. Chris wrote and performed country music with his wife, Caitlin Hanford and Ken lead and exciting six-piece R&B band, the Paradise Revue. As the nineties approached they began to once again “play the blues” together, re-entering an idiom that was as comfortable for them as a well-worn guitar neck. It is no surprise then that both of their last two recordings, "Bluesology" and "Sixteen Shades of Blue", were nominated for Juno awards. Their latest CD, "Taking Our Time", is already earning great praise. ------------------------------------------------------------------- WHERE: 2261 Dundas St. W.

Now What? What's wrong with this picture? Or have I been viewing the world with tie-dyed colored glasses for too long? I would love to hear from some local DJs on this topic : A few weeks there was a posting by Derek Andrews regarding airplay in Europe. Following is my experience with foreign radio rotation: I have been sending CDs overseas for about two years now - both albums. I have found the European radio market far more receptive than that in Canada and USA for my tunes - the reason for which I cannot offer an explanation. The airplay in North America is very light (not for lack of trying on my part!) - but in Europe both of my CD's received extensive and continuous airplay immediately. DJs in Europe write me emails, ask me to sign their guestbooks, ask to send them jingles, want interviews, etc - recently Ive had a radio special in France, was top Album of the Week in Ireland, listed on the top 101 albums of 2001, and more. I can get more play in Europe in a week, than in Canada for a year! Anybody have a theory on this somewhat paradox? Im interested to know if there is anyone else who finds it hard to get local airplay, while getting played internationally? The ECMA charts were published this week, and I found my names listed in 5 places on those charts - Once in top 200 airplay by song, and four listings i n the top 50 in countries. If anybody has any questions I would be pleased to answer them. But I would like anyone to suggest how I can turn this airplay into more opportunity? Im interested to play some dates in Europe / increase distribution - but not yet able to organize it. Any suggestions where to start? (I have similar experience in Eastern Europe as well as Australia and New Zealland.) Below is what I copied off the web today. As Reported by the E.C.M.A. (European Country Music Association), Charts are complied based on playslists submitted by DJs in Denmark, Holland, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Luxenberg, Scandinavia, UK.

I had accompanied other artists whose CDs had been confiscated, who had paid large sums to broker them across etc. I was speaking with James Keelaghan and he set me straight on all of this. Many U.S. border guards know next to nothing about NAFTA rules in this regard and it is up to us to have the appropriate literature to show them at customs. All you need to do is go to the U.S. Customs site on the web and find the appropriate form (Certificate of Origin--Customs Form 434 (040397))that deals with exporting Canadian sound recordings. It asks for info regarding where the product was produced, the tariff classification number, who the exporter is, and not much else. It's a bit of a search to find the form and for anyone who needs more information, let me know and I'll give you more info (can't think of the exact web address off the top of my head). I was thoroughly searched on my way through (seems that vanilla-scented air fresheners smell suspiciously like a certain illicit substance to them )and I know they saw the boxes of CDs but said nothing. They did confiscate two pears from my cooler--out of 6 (?)--but I figure that's how they eat around there. I also had my manufacturing receipts on hand in case of any problems--apparently having those alone is sufficient. But this one piece of paper with the NAFTA title and description of goods is really all you need. And I know that many musicians have no idea that this is the case. As far as I know, you should never have CDs (or T-shirts or other merch.) confiscated. Might as well get something out of NAFTA. Hope that helps!

This is from "Maid in the Garret", a trad. tune. about a woman lamenting the fact that she's 45 and never had an offer of marriage. The version I used to sing when I was in The Blarney Band (and boy, if I had a nickel for every time I sang it I'd have . . . well, a whole bunch of nickels!) goes: "So come landsman or come kinsman, come tinker or come tailor, Come doctor, or lawyer, come soldier or come sailor, Come rich man or poor, come ye poor or come ye witty - Come any man at all that would marry me for pity! And it's oh, dear me - how would it be If I died an old maid in a garret! In the twelve years I sang with "The Blarneys", I found I had a bit of trouble choking out those words. So I followed the folk process and added my own last verse to the tune, which anyone is free to use. (It sounds best with tongue planted firmly in cheek.) "Oh, I do not need a man to make me feel inferior By bitchin' 'bout my cookin', or the size of my posterior! I'll live as I please, without any tongue a-clackin' If I never wed at all, my life - it won't be lackin', It won't worry me if it should be That I die an old maid in a garret." And by the way, I wrote this several years before I married Fred! It's always great to see different variations on a theme! Cheers!

To my delight, I have been very busy over the past year touring with both The Pierre Schryer Band and Tamarack. I love the music of both bands very much and look forward to more touring with them in the future. I hope that you will all come to see these quite different Canadian folk groups sometime soon. You can find their calendars at pierreschryer.com and tamarack.cjb.net. However, it is now my great pleasure to unveil yet another of my musical collaborations; this one being more representative of my own solo CD, "The Whistling Thief." The name of this new group is Fig for a Kiss and it includes Sahra Featherstone (who is also soon to release a ground breaking solo CD) on harp, fiddle, whistles, and vocals; Jeremy Keddy on whistles and uilleann pipes (including regulators -- a rare treat!); and myself Duncan Cameron on vocals, guitar, bouzouki, fiddle, whistles, and English concertina. Our style of music is traditional Celtic and includes Irish and Scottish ballads and lively instrumentals, as well as some original material. What makes this group unusual (other than the fact that that we play enough instruments to form three bands) is our love of arrangement. The blending of instruments and voices in the exciting and detailed way that Planxty and Barde did twenty-five years ago seems to have gone out of fashion, and I can't understand why. But then, the word "traditional" has also gone out of fashion. With Fig for a Kiss I hope to let more people see the depth, breadth, and passion of this music again. Our debut is kindly organized by the luthier Peter Cox. We will do a house concert in his home near Barrie at 7:30pm this Saturday the 13th of April. Tickets are $10.00 each. Call Peter at (705) 726 - 3784 to reserve tickets as space is limited. Snacks and refreshments will be available, as well as CD's for sale. Directions are as follows: Take the 400 to Barrie. Take the Bayfield off ramp. Turn left at lights. Drive approximately 6 km to Finlay Mill Rd. (there will be a Mack's Milk and a gas bar at the corner). Turn left. Peter's house is the third on the right, # 11. You are officially in Midhurst. Across the street is a library where the parking is free. Parking on the shoulder is not recommended. Hope to see you there!

Hope some of you can make it out. Fiddles & Frets Music Presents LYNN MILES With Special Guest: KEITH GLASS (from Prairie Oyster) Date: Fri. April 12th Time: 8pm Location: The Bellefair United Church, 2 Bellefair Ave. corner of Bellefair Ave. & Queen St. in the Beach, east end Toronto Admission: $15 Info: 416-264-2235 _____________________________________________________ LYNN MILES Compared to the likes of Shawn Colvin, Lucinda Williams and Joni Mitchell, Lynn Miles is considered one of Canada's finest singers/songwriters. Her latest record Unravel is brilliant and beautiful with a plaintive singing style and tuneful stories about heartache, longing and fulfillment. Lynn Miles is clearly one of music's most auspicious new arrivals. Billboard magazine certainly seems to think so: the editors and writers picked her as one of the 10 best performers of the year, alongside the likes of Beck, Curtis Mayfield, and Sheryl Crow. After Lynn's first release, Chalk It Up To The Moon, Slightly Haunted was one of the best-received records of 1996. Her follow-up Night in a Strange Town (1998) saw the Quebec-born, Ottawa-based Miles evolving and developing her skills as a great singer-songwriter and an outstanding performer. On Lynn s third LP Unravel, Miles is reunited with long-time friend and collaborator Ian Lefeuvre. Together Lynn and Ian have produced a tender and subtle album, full of thought-provoking lyrics and gentle melodies. Every track on Unravel is maintained by Miles almost legendary clarity. >From the shimmering pop of "Undertow" to more plaintive, rootsy offerings like "I'm the Moon" and "You're Not Coming Back", Lynn's songwriting has never been better, or more focused. Never afraid to explore the darker, more melancholic sides of life, Lynn Miles continues to produce powerful and truthful music. Her beautiful voice and sweet melodies make her one of pop music's truly captivating artists, and Unravel is a commanding testament to this. Press Quotes Lynn Miles makes being forlorn sound like a state of grace.  New York Times Miles startling insights about bad choices and desperate needs in songs like "Wrong and Rust" make her a captivating performer.  USA Today Miles delivers it all with an every-woman expressiveness in a voice that combines with Lucinda Williams and Shawn Colvin. Her poetic, insightful portrait of the human spirit upbeat despite its difficult honesty, is truly inviting.  Tom Roland, The Tennessean With her crystal-clear voice and an insightful songwriting style, Ottawa, Canada s Lynn Miles is one of the most acclaimed singer/songwriters to cross the border since Joni Mitchell in the late 1960s.  Dallas Morning News KEITH GLASS Keith is a founding member of Canada's Prairie Oyster, a band that has earned a reputation for great musical integrity. Although largely considered a country band, Prairie Oyster has continually stretched the boundaries of that idiom to incorporate blues, swing, rock and roll, and anything else that fits, just as the originators of the style did. The result is a band like no other... Keith also appeared in both the stage and screen versions of "Hank Williams-the Show he Never Gave." When not on the road with Prairie Oyster, Keith performs with a couple of different groups, The Twisters and Mainsqueeze, in clubs and local dances. He also enjoys playing solo and currently accompanying Lynn Miles. Just to round out the picture, friends and band mates from Prairie Oyster, Russell deCarle, and Johnny Allen, along with long time friend Denis Keldie and Keith put together a little acoustic band last year, and they have played several intimate unplugged concerts and folk festivals. Most recently this group could be heard at the 2001 Mariposa Folk Festival in Orillia. _____________________________________________________ Lillian Aida Wauthier Acoustic Harvest Folk Club: http://acousticharvest.cjb.net Fiddles and Frets Music Ontario Council of Folk Festivals Lillipat - Music for Young Children Mariposa Folk Foundation Email: lillianw@interlog.com Telephone: 416-264-2235/Fax: 264-2168 _____________________________________________________ check out Colin Stewart: http://colinstewart.cjb.net/ "You must ensure, no matter the cost, that the legacy of these great ships is not lost." - John Prince "Well it's alright...

So I figure the more paper work you can have on hand, the better and smile alot!

Congratulations, Mike! Grant ----------------------------------------------- http://www.canada.com/vancouver/story.asp?id={C933A425-824A-4CF3-8FDE-7CB152394110} Harmonica player heads fundraising mission to help needy kids use music as an outlet MARLENE HABIB Canadian Press Wednesday, April 10, 2002 (CP Archive/Ted Ostrowski) Mike Stevens (right) plays the harmonica for gas-sniffing children in Sheshatshiu, Labrador. Stevens has spent about $11,000 of his own money to visit several native communities to spark their interest in music. (CP Archive/Ted Ostrowski) TORONTO (CP) - The wooden crosses in a Labrador village that mark where Innu kids committed suicide are burned in the mind of harmonica player Mike Stevens. The crosses along roads were among the troublesome symbols of death that Stevens observed while on a mission to teach kids in Sheshatshiu (pronounced she-sha-she) how musical instruments can be a healthy outlet. "There were also garbage bags with gas diesel fuel littered along paths," remembers Stevens, a bluegrass musician from Sarnia, Ont., who was in Toronto recently to promote a benefit concert. Since that fateful trip in November 2000, around the time health officials rounded up numerous gas-addicted Innu youth aged 10 to 18 for treatment, Stevens has spent about $11,000 of his own money to visit several native communities to spark kids' lives through music. Over the past year and a half, Stevens has collected dozens of instruments - harmonicas, trumpets, keyboards - from Canadians hearing of his volunteer mission. They fill Stevens's basement for a time, with his eight-year-old Colin trying them out for fun, before they're shipped or brought personally by Stevens to young natives in remote areas. "Every time I do an interview I'm like a preacher - I put a bug in people's ears" to donate unused instruments, says Stevens, 44. His latest venture is to raise money so other musicians can go into both native and non-native areas of the country to teach kids that sniffing gas, drinking, smoking and other self-destructive habits so common in remote native areas aren't worthy feel-good fixes. "They're just bored; they do these things because they have nothing to do," Stevens said before pulling out his harmonica to play a few strains of an Ojibwa song. He made up the tune a few weeks back while working with kids on an Ojibwa reserve in northern Ontario, where they also received harmonicas for keeps. "We want to try to create a spark with our music - teaching them how to play instruments - to make a positive connection." The May 5 benefit concert, with the help of the non-profit group ArtsCan Circle, is at the Hugh's Room folk-music club in Toronto. Beside Stevens, other acts expected to perform are Tamara Podemski and Jani Lauzon - among the hosts of the event - Cindy Church, Molly Johnson, Sistah Lois and Don Ross. Stevens has released a CD, The World Is Only Air . . ., and tours frequently as part of his livelihood as a harmonica player. But even when he's doing his own thing, his thoughts are with the young people in remote areas "dominated by extreme poverty, severe family dysfunction lack of work and no hope," he says. A turning point for his mission to get kids to turn to music instead of self-destructive behaviour came about six months ago when Estelle Klein, former artistic director of the Mariposa Folk Festival, helped found the ArtsCan Circle. The group raises money for cultural programs for various groups, not just natives. Money raised from the benefit and other efforts will go toward helping Stevens and other musicians conduct workshops, starting in Labrador with a pilot project and with hopes to expand to other regions. Already, Stevens plans 10 days of workshops starting May 25. He'll start in Sheshatshiu, where he'll be bunking with social worker Jonathon Cummings who has helped link him up with kids in need and get instruments in the schools, and then fly north to Davis Inlet on the Labrador coast. - On the Net: ArtsCan Circle: www.artscancircle.ca Mike Stevens: www.mikestevensmusic.com © Copyright 2002 The Canadian Press - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From scouse-one@cogeco.ca Wed Apr 10 19:15:48 2002 Date: Wed Apr 10 19:15:48 2002 From: Tom Miller scouse-one@cogeco.ca Subject: [mplpost] Folklore Award Rosalee Peppard wrote: > I'm proud to announce that I've just received the top 2002 Research > Award from the prestigeous HELEN CREIGHTON FOLKLORE SOCIETY for my > on-going research, songwriting and performance of Maritime Canadian > Her/History. - Woo Hoo!! > > Dr. Helen Creighton was Canada's First Lady of Folklore/song > collecting and I am honoured that my work on my 2001 "No Place Like > Home" CD and my upcoming July & August 2002 'No Place Like Congratulations Rosalee - fully deserved - it's a super CD.

Hi Mapleposters! Just wanted to invite everyone who may be in the Sudbury area this weekend to check out some concerts I'll be performing at with my cousin and partner in musical crime, Erin Gignac! Her CD's are nearing the end of the manufacturing phase so we thought we'd throw together a Pre-Release Party weekend in Sudbury... Saturday, April 13th we'll be at the Tin Pan Alley and Sunday, April 14th at the elegant Townehouse Tavern! So skip the bingo and come and check it out! See ya there! Allison You're invited to attend the Pre-Release Party celebrating the release of the debut self-titled CD by songwriter Erin Gignac Singer-songwriter Erin Gignac is a talented, versatile, guitarist and pianist whose contemporary folk music incorporates her vast influences as well as her own unique look at life and the craft of making music. At 22, Erin has been creating, performing and exploring music for nearly ten years. The professional edge with which Erin creates her captivating music was acquired through her 3 years of classical piano study at Cambrian College in Sudbury. In Summer of 2001, Erin felt she was ready to begin recording a solo album of her own original material. The self-titled album includes material spanning her nearly ten year effort at the craft of songwriting. The recording process took place at locations both in Sudbury as well as far across the length of Ontario in Windsor. Erin Gignac will be celebrating the release of her self-titled debut recording with a performance at the Tin Pan Alley (2177 LaSalle, 525-0123) on Saturday, April 13th. The party continues on Sunday, April 14th when Erin and special guests Allison Brown and Pierre LaFramboise will perform at the Townehouse tavern (206 Elgin, 674-6883). Guests will have the special opportunity at both events to pre-order Erin’s CD for $12.00 (Shipping FREE of charge!). There will be no cover charge for either concert; both beginning at approximately 9 o’clock pm. Originally from Belle River, Ontario, Erin was a part of several ensembles while in Sudbury; the Cambrian Jazz Ensemble, “The Vintage Plague”, and several other duos and groups. Some of Erin’s highlighting performances were at the Sudbury Summerfest for Muscular Dystrophy, the MCTV Christmas Telethon, Sudbury’s Townehouse, The Harrington MusicFest and her special guest appearance with Canadian duo, The Wild Strawberries. Erin has also performed in several Windsor area venues such as the Lift Lounge, Beatniks, and at Windsor Folk events. Folksinger Allison Brown’s engaging and eclectic performance invites each member of her audience to take a journey though a wide range of human emotions and experiences. As an excellent interpreter of folk and roots music, she treads the thin lines between folk, pop, and country with a diverse repertoire of both traditional and original songs. Allison plays guitar along with her smooth vocals, delivered with the honest intensity of an authentic storyteller. At 24, with over ten years of performance experience, Allison’s confident stage savvy is evident whether in an intimate coffeehouse or in a raucous nightclub atmosphere. Musician and songwriter Pierre LaFramboise regularly entertains at the Tin Pan Alley, the Townehouse as well as many other Sudbury venues and events. Influenced by artists such as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Gordon Lightfoot, Pierre’s reflective songwriting tackles real-life, universal issues facing the human spirit. Pierre completed 3 years of classical piano training at Cambrian College and has also produced several independent recordings at his own recording studio.

The group - with a two-week trip home for some major concerts - will perform throughout Canada and the U.S. until next October; they have just completed a tour in the UK with Billy Bragg. The Waifs will share the Horseshoe bill with Kingston's Luther Wright and the Wrongs, Canada's best "alt.country" group whose bluegrass re-creations of Pink Floyd's The Wall have - along with their sparkling original material - helped make country hip again with younger fans. WHO: The Waifs with Luther Wright and the Wrongs WHEN: Thursday May 2 WHERE: The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern WHAT: Music on the outside edges of "folk" and "country" HOW MUCH: $10.00 advance, $12.00 at door, at The Horseshoe box office (416) 598-4226, and Rotate This. The Waifs - sisters Vikki and Donna Simpson and Josh Cunningham, with drummer David MacDonald - first came to Canada last year. The band played every major folk festival from Nova Scotia to Vancouver Island, dozens of club dates (including two at the late-lamented Ted's Wrecking Yard in Toronto), sold thousands of records off-stage, and caused a major buzz wherever and whenever they performed. -30- For further information, photos, interviews etc., contact: Richard Flohil & Associates (416) 351-1323 rflohil@sympatico.ca Websites to check: www.thewaifs.com.au www.lutherwrightandthewrongs.com -- - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From rflohil@sympatico.ca Thu Apr 11 15:19:59 2002 Date: Thu Apr 11 15:19:59 2002 From: Richard Flohil rflohil@sympatico.ca Subject: [mplpost] Singer/stonemason Bobby Watt launches new album Media information For immediate release. Please retain for events listings Folk singer Bobby Watt returns with First album in five years; set for Hugh's Room Launch in Toronto on Friday April 19 After a seven-year break from recording - in which he consolidated his business as one of Canada's leading stonemasonry companies - singer Bobby Watt has returned to music. His new CD (his fourth), called "Watt Next?" is being launched this month with a series of concerts, including an April 19 premiere at Hugh's Room, Toronto's best-known venue for acoustic music. Who: Bobby Watt with David Woodhead (bass), Ben Grossman (percussion), Zeke Mazurek (fiddle), Tom Leighton (keyboards) and Holmes Hooke as special guest artist Where: Hugh's Room, 2261 Dundas St. W, Toronto When: 8 p.m. Friday April 19 How much: $15.00 in advance, $17.00 at the door. What: Acoustic traditional and contemporary "folk" with a Scottish accent, some funny stories, and some killer new songs.

He quit to take up his old trade as a stonemason (specializing in the restoration of old buildings including the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, the Washington Monument, and the State Capitol in Topeka Kansas), but also released three albums, playing festivals and concerts throughout Canada, the U.S. and Europe. -30- For further information, interviews, great photos, review records, and one or two of Bobby's jokes, please contact: Richard Flohil & Associates: (416) 351-1323 Bobby's website: -- - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From bcopeland@cogeco.ca Thu Apr 11 16:33:23 2002 Date: Thu Apr 11 16:33:23 2002 From: Nancy J.

April 26th Time: 8pm Location: The Bellefair United Church, 2 Bellefair Ave. corner of Bellefair Ave. & Queen St. in the Beach, east end Toronto Admission: $15 Info: 416-264-2235 _______________________________________________________________ A little background: Alan Rhody's music is the culmination of a life of traveling and staying true to one's beliefs and to one's art. He has spent two and a half decades writing and singing with the passion of someone who is not only highly gifted but who is also driven to create. In the process, he has built a devoted following, while having his poignant ballads, picturesque narratives and gutsy rockers recorded by a who's who of country-pop, folk, and bluegrass, including such luminaries as Del McCoury, Murray McLauchlan, David Mallett, George Jones, Lorrie Morgan, and The Oak Ridge Boys. He has become a legendary figure in Nashville, his home. His new CD "journey", his sixth, is a long-awaited event for the loyal and an extraordinary introduction for the uninitiated. Showcasing his new material, (including two McLauchlan co-writes) as well as reprising some early jewels, the new disc also features guest appearances by John Prine, the late John Hartford, Maura O¹Connell, Pat McLaughlin, Jamie Hartford, world renowned dulcimer player, David Schnaufer and guitar master, Ray Flacke. The depth of the writing and the simple but effective production shows why Rhody has won the respect of such people in a world where non-pretense is a rarity. "His melodies will wander around in your brain for days on end. His lyrics will touch the deepest corners of your spirit. Alan Rhody songs are keepsakes, not disposable tissues. They're things to return to for pleasure time and again, and these are among the very finest of his career." - Robert K. Oermann, author/journalist/historian "Alan Rhody has spent more than twenty years as a wandering minstrel and every lesson he¹s learned is 'in the grooves' of this remarkable collection." - Robert K. Oermann, author/ journalist/ historian and recipient of the Deems Taylor Award for outstanding print and media coverage of music (commenting on Alan¹s newCD, "Journey") "Rhody sings music of the heartland with emotional narrative that harkens to the time of Woody Guthrie." -The City Paper (Nashville) "You can at once laugh out loud and a few seconds later be put in the most somber of moods." - American Songwriter magazine (national) "Rhody isn¹t pointing fingers, he¹s merely holding up a mirror for all of us to gaze into." - The Performing Songwriter magazine (national) "In short, our man gives good song." - NOW magazine, Toronto, Ontario (weekly) _______________________________________________________ Clela Errington's Background: Clela sings directly to the reflective heart, creating a mood of intimacy, at once reserved and passionate. Her material vibrates with emotional insight. Born in Montreal and raised in the 1000 Islands, Clela gained much of her professional experience playing harmonica and singing in a string band and vocal duo in Prince Edward Island. Clela has performed in dance halls, clubs, and concert venues throughout the Maritimes, Quebec, and Ontario. Settling in Toronto in 1985, Clela began formal training in jazz and vocal technique. Her repertoire combines the sophistication of Duke Ellington and the raw honesty of Hank Williams. She has performed all over Ontario and the Maritime provinces. Clela has produced two independent albums featuring her soulful voice, unique harmonica sound and her original compositions. Both were produced by Juno award winning engineer Ed Hutchison aka Eddie Baltimore and feature many fine Toronto musicians. Quotes "Congratulations on producing a fine album. You did a lovely version of Radiates and I love your harmonica playing ! " Toronto musician Chris Whiteley "It's wonderful Friday night music, thoughtful and reflective, sad and hopeful at the same time " Toronto writer Philippa Campsie It's a very warm and generous work. Clela's voice carries that cusp between sun and night" Toronto author Brad Batten "Clela's haunting velvet voice takes you on a lazy daydream river ride."

I always guess wrong. I usually get one right but my choices don't usually line up with the judges. Congratulations to this year's winners. There were really excellent submissions this year, nearly 100! But the cream rises to the top, in most cases, and all nominees in both RT catagories deserved to be there. Congratulations to all of them. Again: David Francey for Far End of Summer and La Bottine for Cordial.

"Not another benefit", one might be tempted to remark at times. ArtsCan Circle is not another benefit, it is not the flavour of the week. It deals with a mostly low profile situation in a far corner of Canada... a place that most of us will never visit nor, likely, wish to see. The native children in that place are our forgotten people, forgotten except by musician Mike Stevens and a few others who try to help. When I first heard Mike talk about his experiences in a number of Labrador communities, I could not forget these tales of solvent-sniffing young people. Having seen a video of Mike interacting with these kids, I am more than ever convinced of the healing power of music. ArtsCan Circle is attempting to build on Mike's efforts... a release has described our plans and our website is up and running. I could not imagine a long line-up of active, on the spot, workers ... the prospect requires a commitment of time, stamina, and a kind of bravery many of us cannot even imagine.... but some *have* committed. Benefits and anything else you dream up are useful/needed ...and, possible. Maplepost members have the skills to organize and participate in events in their own communities. They can spread the word about the conditions in our extended backyard, they can raise money in an attempt to alleviate the misery in even a small way. ArtsCan Circle benefit concert is only a beginning. This must be an ongoing effort to provide positive support. The following performers are joining with native participants on May 5 at Hugh's Room.in Toronto. We are grateful to Richard Carson for providing the space and his staff. Thanks to caring people: Arrogant Worms, Cindy Church, Duke Redbird, Willy Dunn, Eagleheart, Marie-Lynn Hammond, Tim Harrison, Molly Johnson, Rob Lamothe and Lisa Winn, Jani Lauzon, Sistah Lois, Tamara Podemski, of course, Mike Stevens and Raymond Mclain .... and volunteers from the Centre from Indigenous Theatre, among others. If you are unable to attend, please make a donation. Do think about other ways in which you can contribute. Check the web site for further details; www.artscancircle.ca or write ;info@artscancircle.ca.. We answer questions! Add this to Earth Day and all the other benefits. Benefits show our humanity. If you get more than one ArtsCan Circle message with similar content, it's not an accident. Sincerely, Estelle Klein, for co- workers Eve Goldberg and Trevor Mills. Brenda House (Toronto Arts Council), Denise Bolduc (Ontario Arts Council) are hands-on workers ... and Richard Flohil is our volunteer publicist.

We are especially thrilled that our label, Jericho Beach Music's release "The Journey" by Alpha Yaya Diallo was honoured with the best Global Recording award. Alpha has worked very hard creating exciting, masterful recordings since arriving in Canada ten years ago.

In January, David Francey joined our management team, under the Mainstage Management banner. We are enjoying the experience of working closely with David building what we are certain will be a long and illustrious career. And now this! "Far End of Summer" is a fine album and is a well deserving of the recognition. Congratulations to everyone involved! Since moving to Toronto from Nova Scotia, Mike Murley has been creating great jazz. He has been part of Juno Awards before, with Metalwood, Rob McConnell and for his CD "Two Sides". His newest album, "Live at the Senator" is a great record and congratulations Mike and Cornerstone Records. The Juno Awards always sparks a lot of debate and criticism (some deserved). It is great to see the excitement the awards have generated in St John's this year. CARAS and the local organizers deserve credit for finally involving nominees from the 'craft' categories in showcases and performances around the event. The next step that we all have to lobby for, is to bring our categories into the televised production.

Bonnie confided to the crowd throughout the evening as one would talk with a good friend. At times during the ninety minute - two encore performance Massy Hall took on an eerie silence in the tender moments when the crowd was hanging onto to her words sincerity; and then contrasted by bursts of spontaneous applause and calls of 'Bonnie rocks' reverberating from the balconies. She talked reminiscently about her early days at Mariposa in the 1970s with John Prine, and previous shows in Toronto and Massey Hall. Late in the show she was joined by Toronto singer/songwriter Shirley Eikhard for a 'Something to Think About Duet.' Bonnie's voice was solid and powerful. One could not help but be impressed by the quality of her slide work on Stratocasters both in open and standard tunings; and electric Dobro style guitar; and as well her fine fingerpicking when she pulled out the acoustic. The backup band was strong and tasteful. Her ability to play to the crowd and involve them in the performance is simply remarkable, and she got into that perpetual self-propelling 'energy circle' from the first second she stepped on the stage. I had forgotten literally how excellent Massey Hall's acoustics are! But not surprising, it was build for natural sound reinforcement at a time when there was no PA system. She gave to the audience, but they gave back more. I would give her five stars, and easily rate the show among the finest performances I've seen. Bonnie rocks. Too bad you missed it.

THURSDAY APRIL 18, 2002 Steve Ketchen and The Kensington Hillbillys The East Of The Valley series just keeps rollin’ along! This week, we’re honoured to play host to Steve Ketchen and The Kensington Hillbillys. (http://www.steveketchen.com) As they have regular gigs at Grafitti’s in Kensington Market, this is another opportunity for The Swan to bring some great music East Of The Valley! The Hillbillys’ live shows are engaging and vibrant, showcasing the many talents within the group. Setting the tone with their own compositions, they move freely from a Johnny Cash dust-up to a Hank Williams classic. Next week, April 25th, a special treat…a double bill! First up will be Laura Repo and The Blue Healers, and later none other than Juno nominees The Brothers Cosmoline. Both of these nights are definitely going to be a great, and will surely give anyone a reason to travel East Of The Valley! Also a quick thank-you to everyone in The (incomparable) Silverhearts who were absolutely fabulous in our last showcase…sheriff’s badges and all! We look forward to having y’all back.

His music excites, inspires and stirs in the tradition of great songwriters who can say what all have felt but few can express. His EMI Music Canada debut, 1998’s "Of Your Son", was certified Gold and produced two hit singles ("Walk This Road"," "Falling"). Bruce's new follow-up release -- simply titled "Guthro" (Album of the Year, East Coast Music Awards) -- reveals the pride of Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia demonstrating the tenderness and precision that made his debut a triumph... More info and sound clips available at: ______________________________________________________________________ Thu Apr 18 - Perth County Conspiracy (does not exist) 8:30pm featuring Cedric Smith - vocal, guitar, proclamations Sold out! Richard Keelan - vocal, guitar, dulcimer Terry Jones - vocal, guitar Paul Gellman - vocal, piano, fiddle David Woodhead - vocal, bass, banjo, mandolin w/ guest Matthew Shawn Fleming - percussion Formed in Stratford, Ontario in 1969, the Perth County Conspiracy was a communal get-together which later took the stage. They played satirical folk music, drawing on the words of Dylan Thomas, William Shakespeare and others and blending them with lyrics about love and peace. In their shows, entire families sat on-stage with the musicians and featured story-telling, jokes, as well as infectious music. Lead by Terry Jones, Brian Burchill, George Taros, Richard Keelan and Cedric Smith, the Conspiracy combined powerful songwriting and theatrical performances that were legendary. Signed to Columbia Records, they recorded a few albums, but the one that captures their essence is Alive!, a two-record set of songs at the height of the conspiracy. Their motto, "Perth County Conspiracy Does Not Exist" was prophetic - until now! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Apr 19 - Bobby Watt CD Release - "Watt Next" 8:30pm, $15adv/$17 After a seven-year break from recording, in which he consolidated his business as one of Canada's leading stonemasonry companies, Scottish-born singer Bobby Watt has returned to music. "Watt Next?" asks the title of his brand new recording. Good question, since most people would raise an eyebrow at a collection that includes songs by Robbie Burns and Bob Dylan, the Battlefield Band and The Eagles, traditional Scottish tunes, and four noteworthy originals by the singer and his collaborator, Toronto performer and Hugh's Room's very own Holmes Hooke. So please join us to celebrate Bobby's latest album - a summary of a full and productive life to date by a man who has become the master of two separate professions, and who somehow manages to make the touch of stone and the heart of music as permanent as time itself. ____________________________________________________________________ Sat Apr 20/Sun Apr 21 - Jesse Winchester (Sat show sold out) 8:30pm, $20adv/$22.50 Renowned writer of wry, closely observed songs, Memphis-born Jesse Winchester chose Canadian exile (Montreal) over being drafted for the Vietnam War in 1967. There he met Robbie Robertson of the Band in 1969 who helped launch his recording career. Jesse's debut & self-titled album was released a year later. His exile lent real-life poignancy to songs like "Yankee Lady", which appeared on that first and critically acclaimed album, and the songs throughout the release heralded Winchester as a master songsmith. Despite the success of this recording, his inability to tour in the US at that time prevented him from taking his rightful place among the major singer/songwriters of the early 70s, but that did not prevent him from continuing to record a number of timeless albums: "Third Down, 110 to Go" (1972), "Learn To Love it" (1974), "Let The Rough Side Drag" (1976), "Nothing But A Breeze" (1977), "A Touch On The Rainy Side" (1978), "Talk Memphis" (1981), "The Best of Jesse Winchester (1988) & "Humour Me" (1989), "Gentlemen of Leisure" (1999). Some of his most prominently covered songs include "The Brand New Tennessee Waltz (Joan Baez/Ian Matthews), "Biloxi" (Tom Rush, Jimmy Buffett), "Defying Gravity" (Emmylou Harris, Jimmy Buffett), and "Yankee Lady" (Brewer & Shipley). _______________________________________________________________________ CONCERT CALENDAR Tue Apr 23 - Open Stage Anniversary Concert w/ host Trevor Mills pay what u can featuring Ellie Avishai Douglas John Cameron & Sean O’Connor from Joyce’s Folly Jessica Graham Michael Katz & Michael Laderoute Rick Keating Katie McGrath Brian MacMillan Corin Raymond Aaron Rose Justin Rutledge Alfred John Smith Harmony Trowbridge Thu Apr 25 - Susie Arioli Swing Band CD Release - "Pennies From $15 Heaven" Fri Apr 26 - Stacey Earle & Mark Stuart $17.50adv/$20 [presented by Richard Flohil] Sat Apr 27 - Susan Werner $15adv/$17.50 w/ very special guest Josh White Jr. [presented by Richard Flohil] Sun Apr 28 - Matt Haimovitz $15 Wed May 1 - The Travellers $15 Thu May 2 - Lee Aaron & The Swinging Barflies $16adv/$18 Fri May 3 - Duos & Duets $10 w/ Chris Whiteley & Caitlin Hanford The Madd Scientists (Jim Layeux & Melwood Cutlery) George Koller & Hajile Kalaike & more tba Sat May 4 - Carole Pope $16 Sun May 5 - ArtsCan Benefit Concert $25 featuring The Arrogant Worms Cindy Church Eagleheart Singers with Jimmy Dick Willie Dunn Marie-Lynn Hammond Tim Harrison Molly Johnson Rob Lamothe & Lisa Winn Lillian McGregor Don Ross Sistah Lois Mike Stevens w/ Raymond McLain Jani Lauzon (Host) Tamara Podemski (Host/Performer) Duke Redbird (host) Wed May 8 - Ian Tyson $25adv/$27.50 Thu May 9- - Jazz Fringe Festival Sat May 11 Sun May 12 - School of Toronto Dance Theatre Graduation Party Tue May 14 - Maria Muldaur $22.50adv/$25 [presented by Richard Flohil] Wed May 15 - Jimmy LaFave $15adv/$17.50 [presented by Richard Flohil] Thu May 16 - The Laws Kick-off Spring Tour $15 [presented by Fiddles & Frets Music) Fri May 17 - Aengus Finnan / Scott Cameron Smith CD Release - "Easy Street" Wed May 22 - Betty & The Bobs $10 Wed May 29 - Evergreen Gamelan Group Thu May 30 - Closed for private party - York Univ.
