They’re on their way, to the city lights’ … and, THE predominant Canadian Rock ‘n’ Roll band of the 1970s – The Stampeders – are bringing along all their classic hits: Wild Eyes, Carry Me, Oh My Lady, Devil You, Ramona, Minstrel Gypsy, Hit the Road Jack and, of course, the quintessential Canadian – and Hall of Fame – song, Sweet City Woman! A veritable soundtrack to a whole generation that will ‘carry you home’ … maybe not to Birmingham … but back to a time of tie-dyed t-shirts and elevator shoes, 15¢ coffee and homemade apple pie, dating and dreaming … By the time The Stampeders get to the first chorus of the first song, everyone will be singing along.
No seventies group represented Canada’s musical identity to the world like The Stampeders. A quick look at Canada’s music scene from 1971 until 1976 confirms The Stampeders were truly the country’s international musical ambassadors, touring more extensively in Canada and overseas than any other Canadian group during that time. In 1977 the trio: Rich Dodson (lead guitar), Kim Berly (drums) and Ronnie King (bass) parted company but reunited, fittingly at the Calgary Stampede, 15 years later in 1992. Since then they’ve been recognized by SOCAN for their Lifetime Achievement, been inducted into the SOCAN Songwriters Hall of Fame on five occasions and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for their 1971 seminal hit Sweet City Woman.

Black Umfolosi International is one of the African continent’s most revered vocal groups, with more than three decades of international touring behind them. Their shows feature a cappella songs in many of the languages of southern Africa, as well as almost non- stop dancing. The imbube music they perform is a fusion of traditional Zulu music and more modern genres. The songs are delivered with passion, integrity and humour.
The group also performs in colourful African attire, usually changing their apparel a couple of times during any given show. One of the highlights of any BUI performance is their famous gumboot dance, a tradition which originated in the mines of southern Africa. Dancers perform bare-chested wearing hard hats and long gumboots as they execute incredible feats of dance and percussion. The songs and dance are tied together with interesting and informative banter from the group. A BUI show is a deep dive into the incredible culture of
Zimbabwe.
21 GUN SALUTE is undoubtedly one of the premiere AC/DC reviews ever assembled. The band pays true homage to AC/DC’s high-voltage rock ‘n roll. From the Bon Scott raw rock’n’roll early years, to the band’s evolution throughout their thirty-year tenure with Brian Johnson.
Every detail has been painstakingly reproduced, from the Smoking Cannons & the Hell’s Bell stage props to Angus’s schoolboy outfit. An explosive show that includes the signature live antics and lead singer’s absolute dead-on vocal rendition of both Bon Scott to Brian Johnson.
Lead vocals that belt out the high notes effortlessly whilst strutting the stage in the AC/DC trademark style. This act is a must-see show performed by experienced true professionals, who are down-to-earth blokes.
WE SALUTE YOU CONCERT
21 Gun Salute pays tribute to all the biggest AC/DC hits.
A High Voltage concert filled with epic Rock anthems.
Canada’s #1 stand-up road warrior Ron James, is in the driver’s seat once again and bound full throttle for the ‘big wide open’ with his new show, ‘The Noise Between Our Ears’.
With a seismic level of socio-political change shifting a reality we long took for granted, what better way to process the cacophonous overload of stimuli than in the language of laughs.
‘Fresh out of the wrapping’ content skewers everything from the tyrannical Tangerine Genie south of the border looking to turn us into the 51st state, to aging Baby Boomers now but twenty years away from roaming ‘the home’ in their Led Zeppelin onesies, just one more sing a long away from taking a Stairway to Heaven! Alongside these macro issues is a window on the daily trials of a technologically compromised ADHD addled adult, who came of age in a day when a ‘hash tag’ was something you got after getting too close to the hash knives! Whether getting comedic mileage with classic bits on generational differences in families then and now; teacher terrors of public-school days; hand me-down hockey gear; party hearty camping trips with pals in those ‘bullet proof days of yore’, there’s something for everybody. ‘Ultimately though, ‘The Noise Between Our Ears’ sees Ron as the ever struggling ‘Everyman’, doing his best to make sense of a world off kilter while bedeviled by forces beyond his control, where airlines constantly lose luggage, stock portfolios nosedive, mortality’s the new reality and the barber spends more time trimming your ears than he does your head!

With 21 studio albums, 8 Juno Awards, 31 Maple Blues Awards and multi-platinum record sales, Colin James remains at the top of his game, continuing to challenge himself musically.
His current release, Chasing the Sun, finds the blues-rock singer-songwriter’s electrifying new album featuring the kind of towering musical guests typically found on the other side of velvet ropes. Co-produced by Colin Linden, guest artists include Americana icon Lucinda Williams, bassist Darryl Jones and drummer Charley Drayton (who have backed Miles Davis and The Rolling Stones) plus American harmonica ace Charlie Musselwhite and gospel greats Ann and
Regina McCrary. For over 35 years, Colin has been a consummate professional, a superb guitarist, and a musician’s musician. The confidence that comes with maturity can be heard in his voice and seen in his electrifying stage performance. He does what comes naturally – he always has – he knows no other way and no other life. Recently celebrating his 60th birthday, he still finds joy in
making music and touring and loves what he does.
When Guy Davis plays the blues, he doesn’t want you to notice how much art is involved. “It takes work making a song that’s simple, and playful, and easy to do,” he says. “And I don’t want people to see that. I want to uplift and create something that causes delight. And I want some little eight-year-old kid in the front row to have big eyes and say, ‘Hey, I want to do that!’.”
His parallel careers– as a musician, an author, a music teacher and a film, television and Broadway actor—mark Davis as a Renaissance man, yet the blues remain his first and greatest love. Growing up in a family of artists (his parents were Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis), he fell under the spell of Blind Willie McTell and Fats Waller at an early age. Guy’s one-man play, The Adventures of Fishy Waters: In Bed With the Blues, premiered Off-Broadway in the ’90s and has since been released as a double CD. He went on to star Off-Broadway as the legendary Robert Johnson in Robert Johnson: Trick The Devil, winning the Blues Foundation’s “Keeping the Blues Alive” award. He followed the footsteps of another blues legend when he joined the Broadway production of Finian’s Rainbow, playing the part originally done in 1947 by Sonny Terry. Along the way he cut nine acclaimed albums for the Red House label and three for his own label, Smokeydoke Records; and was nominated for nearly a dozen Blues Awards.
