SUMMARY:DANIEL ROMANO’S OUTFIT W/ GUESTS
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Romano’s Outfit is a Canadian rock band shrouded in mystery\, and known for their high intensity live performances. \nThe band\, which has garnered a reputation as a powerhouse\nsupergroup\, is lead by Daniel Romano and consists of Carson McHone\, Julianna Riolino\, Roddy Rosetti and Ian Ski Romano. \nCarson and Julianna’s flourishing solo careers outside of the Outfit only add to the allure\, while Roddy and Ian have been Daniel’s trusted musical collaborators for years. \nThe Outfit have made appearances at many major music festivals\, including Bonnaroo\, Azkena Rock Fest\, End of the Road\, Roskilde Festival\, among others. \nIn 2020 the Outfit dropped several notable records\, including a collaboration with Tool drummer Danny Carey on the long form album\, Forever Love’s Fool. \nDaniel Romano’s Outfit Do (What Could Have Been) Infidels By Bob Dylan & the Plugz was released in the same year\, inspired by a 1984 appearance on Letterman where Dylan performed a song with LA punk band The Plugz. \nWith their own twist\, the Outfit reimagined the entire album and answer the question\, what if Dylan went punk? \nIn 2021\, the Outfit released the rock and roll masterclass\, Cobra Poems\, which infused their signature sound with new swagger and grit. \nThe fiery single “Nocturne Child” is a prime\nexample of the band’s electrifying energy. \nDoors @ 9\nShow @ 10\n19+

SUMMARY:Amai Kuda et Les Bois: EmUrgency! Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Amai Kuda et Les Bois don’t fit into the usual boxes. Breaking boundaries is part of their superpower. Not a band or a solo act\, they prefer to call themselves ‘a movement.’ Led by Amai Kuda\, their shows and albums always begin with the pouring of libations and the invocation of ancestors. This spiritual element weaves its way throughout all their music\, whether that be soothing acoustic ballads\, dancy electronic grooves or alt-rock-hiphop-infused political tracks.

SUMMARY:An Evening w/ Big Sugar
DESCRIPTION:The legendary Big Sugar celebrate their ground-breaking “Five Hundred Pounds” deluxe vinyl release from Third Man Records with a 2 set theatrical presentation that spans their storied career from Hugo Boss suit days to their more recent Roots Rock Reggae vibes. Gordie Johnson’s power trio breathe life into their early blues and jazz-tinged songbook that has influenced generations of guitarists. “The theatre setting gives us the opportunity to explore a much wider range of styles while still presenting a Big Sugar rock and roll show!” \nSince the 90’s Big Sugar have been a staple on the airwaves and highways with a unique combination of Jamaican rhythms\, blues tonality and heavy rock aggression. Songs like ‘Diggin A Hole’\, ‘If I Had My Way’\, ‘Turn The Lights On’ and ‘Roads Ahead’ with their roots/rock/reggae style featuring Gordie Johnson’s signature guitar playing have built a loyal following\, earning Big Sugar a Road Gold Award as they continue to sell out concerts across North America. \nWebsite: bigsugar.com Facebook: facebook.com/bigsugarmusic Instagram: instagram.com/big_sugar_music Twitter: twitter.com/big_sugar_music YouTube Channel: youtube.com/user/BigSugarBand

SUMMARY:ABIGAIL LAPELL W/ GUESTS
DESCRIPTION:Toronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with Anniversary\, an evocative collection of original love songs. Produced with Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker\, the album was recorded at 200-year-old St Mark’s Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake\,\nOntario. \nDekker helped shape the sessions’ spooky\, resonant sound and also lent his voice to a couple of spellbinding duets. Lapell’s deft lyrics jostle with love song tropes\, grappling with love’s finitude and the irony of how codependency and longing are revered in popular\nmusic. \nBalancing upbeat earworms with elegiac ballads\, Anniversary ultimately emerges as an earnest celebration of commitment. A stellar cast of musicians rounds out Lapell’s powerhouse vocals\, piano\, harmonica and fingerstyle guitar. \nThe ensemble’s sensitive orchestral country-jazz arrangements feature bass\, drums\, viola\, trumpet and pedal steel along with the church’s own harpsichord and organ. \nAnniversary is out May 10\, 2024 on Outside Music

SUMMARY:Shayna Jones:  Black & Rural
DESCRIPTION:Black & Rural is the story of a lone Black country woman struggling to defy the monolith of what matters to Black lives\, derived from dozens of real-life interviews with Black folk tucked away on the countryside across Canada. Through powerful new folklore\, verbatim interview\, movement\, music\, and memory\, Shayna Jones weaves together a story of vulnerability\, quiet triumph\, and striking humanity.

SUMMARY:SHAELA MILLER
DESCRIPTION:On the heels of a 1st Place Project Wild finish\, years of top-tier folk festival circuiting\, TV placements like HBO’s True Blood\, and many other accomplishments\, Shaela Miller is set for much more in 2023. \nEarly dreams stay in the blood. Pulsating drum beats meet ring-spun synthesizers balanced by steel guitar professions as the listener is introduced to a captivating story. It’s one of a dual world – a binary of New Wave and Classic Country – the expression that reared a young songwriter years ago. For Shaela\, it’s a self-indulgent trip back to a world of music she’s been patiently waiting to explore. The listener should take comfort in feeling a little tense\, but this is no sleight of hand. It’s all from the deep well of emotion where Shaela lives as a songwriter. Where dreams go unspent\, the host can be left to wither. Take a small comfort knowing that Shaela is guiding her own career path as every artist should – with no fear of expectations.

SUMMARY:Daniel Champagne in Concert
DESCRIPTION:An upcoming concert with astonishing popularity: before any publicity had gone out\, word got around that celebrated Australian musician Daniel Champagne was coming to Taghum Hall on April 10—and the event has almost sold out! So he’s added a second concert on April 9 at 7:30pm. Beloved in his home country\, he is no stranger to Canada: “The word Prodigy seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young man’s skills he coaxes sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws\,” wrote the Calgary Herald. Tickets are available at Taghumhall.ca and at Eddy Music and Taghum Shell.

SUMMARY:The Porch Hounds w/ Peter Reed
DESCRIPTION:Not – Not a ski season wind up party? \nJoin us in taking in The Porch Hounds with special guest\, Peter Reed and celebrate a couple of new record releases from them\, as well as raising a glass to the ski season\, and the new spring season now upon us! \nThe Porch Hounds: \nBorn on the wide-open Canadian prairies\, The Porch Hounds are the brainchild of singer/songwriter Nik Winnitowy. \nGaining traction as a honky-tonk cover band in the small mountain town of Revelstoke\, the project has morphed into a country and rockinspired Canadiana outfit. With all parts and instruments written\, recorded\, and engineered by frontman Nik\, the songs blend the raw energy of rock with the soulful storytelling of folk with a twang of classic country. \nTales of love\, loss\, and alcohol\, along with the timeless allure of the wide-open road\, draw listeners into a world of rustic charm and heartfelt emotion. \nSo grab a bottle\, raise it high\, and join The Porch Hounds as they blaze a trail through the untamed wilderness of heavy folk-country rock.
