The Moulettes @ The Astor Theatre Liverpool
Oct 8 @ 7:30 pm

Trying to describe Moulettes is a lot harder than loving their music is. Often compared to artists as diverse as Pink Floyd and Kate Bush, this group continues to push the boundaries of acoustic, and sometimes electric contemporary songwriting and instrumentation. What is consistent in every recording they have made is a combination of lush, catchy melodies, ethereal lyrics and a unique sound that blends folk and pop with strings. On this Canadian tour, Moulettes will be heavily featuring strings from their current project, Xenolalia. This show is guaranteed to turn heads and win over audiences.

We love presenting new acts to our audience, and are thrilled that Moulettes, from the UK, have chosen to include the Astor in their Canada tour!

The Knitting Pilgrim @ The Astor Theatre Liverpool
Oct 19 @ 7:30 pm

Come see The Knitting Pilgrim at The Astor Theatre, Thursday October 19th, 7:30pm

Interview with Kirk Dunn on QCCR:

Actor, writer and knitter Kirk Dunn will be presenting his multidisciplinary one-man show, The Knitting Pilgrim, featuring the Stitched Glass tapestries, at The Astor Theatre, Thursday October 19th, 7:30pm. The show, which theatre critic Lynn Slotkin called “a stunning piece of theatre… glorious and so moving,” combines personal storytelling, image projection and three huge knitted panels, designed in the style of stained-glass windows, that look at the commonalities and conflicts of the Abrahamic Faiths: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It recounts Kirk’s 15-year artistic and spiritual journey handknitting the ambitious project, and looks at why the faiths struggle to get along today, the meaning of art, the hell of grant-writing and the power of love to overcome major obstacles (and minor mishaps). The show premiered at the Aga Khan Museum in 2019, and has been performed over 55 times across Ontario to acclaim, with a tour in Austria and Germany in the summer of 2023.

Murray McLauchlan – Hourglass Tour @ The Astor Theatre Liverpool
Oct 24 @ 7:30 pm
Murray McLauchlan is one of Canada’s most highly regarded singer/songwriters, and with good cause. Over a 50-year career, he has released 20 albums and been awarded 11 Junos. His songs Farmer’s Song, Down by the Henry Moore, Whispering Rain and Sweeping the Spotlight Away are now considered Canadian standards. Murray is also a painter, an author, an actor, a radio host; he’s been bestowed an Honourary Doctor of Laws and appointed to The Order of Canada. That’s quite a ride.
For many years Murray’s touring had been restricted to Lunch At Allen’s, whose members also include Ian Thomas, Marc Jordan and Cindy Church. But with the release of his critically acclaimed Hourglass, he’s back on the road treating concert goers to a seamless blend of old and new.
Here’s what he has to say: “As a songwriter I know that it’s not enough to sit in your kitchen and write. Your songs need to be heard. Music is a communicative art and if it isn’t brought in front of people there is no way to tell if that end has been met. I like to think of a concert tour as a kind of roving gallery to test your art and your ideas. I try to do my very best to make it worthwhile for folks to be there and to perhaps look at things in a new way when they leave.”
And this, in a nutshell, is the Murray McLauchlan concert experience.
Reserved seating tickets for Murray McLauchlan …Hourglass are $66 (all taxes and fees included), go on sale Friday, June 9 and are available from the Astor Theatre box office or online. Showtime is 7:30pm. For more info, pics & music clips, visit www.shantero.com or www.murraymclauchlan.com
