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:Unbridled Connection
DESCRIPTION:THE ART OF CAPTURING AUTHENTICITY\nKimberley-based equine photographer Jenny Rae Bateman captures the beauty of free-spirited horses and the genuine connection between horse and rider. She does so in the wilderness\, at rodeos\, clinics\, and during intimate portraits of the Western lifestyle. Jenny is excited to announce her upcoming solo art exhibit “Unbridled Connection”\, open to inspire visitors at Art Gallery Kimberley in BC’s Best Small Town from April 18 – 28\, 2024. \nGrowing up as an only child in Westbank\, BC\, Jenny stumbled upon a guest ranch where she found a welcoming community of horse enthusiasts. It was here she learned to groom\, tack and ride horses—an experience that started her passion for horses and the Western lifestyle. \nDrawing inspiration from the dynamic energy of horses and equine photographers like Katarzyna Okrzesik and Christopher “Click” Thompson\, Jenny’s photography captures both the untamed beauty of wild horses and the harsh realities they face while surviving beyond fences. Her work also provides a glimpse into the lives of hard-working\, down-to-earth\, big-hearted individuals—a lifestyle characterised by its resilience and grit. \n“I was intrigued by photography after witnessing my father capturing black & white photos of our family and developing his own film in the basement of our home”\, Jenny reflects. However\, it was Jenny’s husband\, himself a skilled photographer\, who encouraged her to pursue photography professionally. Primarily self-taught\, Jenny has expanded her knowledge through online courses and the mentorship of individuals like her husband and Julie Anne Davies\, whose genuine and kind approach and skills continue to inspire Jenny. \nJenny believes horses have an innate ability to discern a person’s character\, forming a connection with those who approach them with respect and sincerity. She explains\, “You get from a horse what you are willing to give and I respect that. Once a horse has determined your character and intentions\, it is able to consent to working with you. Horses have a calming effect\, their souls are pure and their beauty is magnificent. I am in awe of their strength and willingness to work with humans.” For Jenny\, photography is more than just shooting images; it’s about storytelling\, evoking emotions\, and making connections. \nDespite the challenges of the weather and the unpredictable nature of horses\, Jenny finds joy in the remoteness of the backcountry. She describes the feeling as “being between somewhere and nowhere”\, sitting down in the dirt\, observing the behaviour of these elegant creatures. Whether in the peace and quiet of the backcountry or the hustle and bustle of the rodeo grounds\, Jenny enjoys the immersive experience\, searching for the essence of each moment. \nBeyond publications such as in LENS Magazine and a column in a woman’s online Moto magazine in Australia\, as well as being chosen to travel with Wild Women Expeditions to photograph the ladies’ adventures\, Jenny’s career highlights are the personal connections made through her photography. The impact her photos have on people\, bringing out cherished memories and emotions\, shows the power of photography. \nPlease join us at Art Gallery Kimberley between April 18 – 28\, 2024. Jenny’s exhibit welcomes visitors from Thursday through Sunday\, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm and from Monday to Wednesday by appointment. Come experience the inspiring beauty and authentic stories captured through Jenny’s lens.

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: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: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+
