British comedy darlings James & Jamesy attempt to conquer this classic of comedy. They fail.Troubled, determined, and insatiably curious, the two dive into the depths of their psyche, mining memories for clues about what’s holding them back.Rich in wordplay, comic physicality, and cleverly crafted interactive elements, Easy as Pie is uproarious fun.“Easy as Pie is a showcase of the duo’s stunning mastery of physical comedy and their uncanny ability to marry their abilities to the exploration of psychological themes that are at once serious and hilarious. This is simply an amazing show.”-Stage Door, Toronto

JAKOB: The intertwined circle and triangle is an ancient alchemical symbol representing a precise transmutation. The extension of the triangle’s points beyond the parameters of the circle indicates that the reaction will take place free from coercion or control, where the radius of the transformation is wholly dependent upon the strength of the reaction. Extending this incantation to the transformative potential of music, it is also clear that carefully curated audio atmospheres have the capacity to provoke captivating responses among audiences.

LILA GRAY
2024-03-28 19:30 - 23:00 (America/Vancouver) | The Royal, 330 Baker Street Nelson, BC V1L 4H5, Nelson, British Columbia, V1L 4H5, Canada
Thu, Mar 28 at The Royal in Nelson
7:30 p.m. PST
Raised in the mountains of BC, Lila Gray calls Vancouver home. Through her heartfelt lyrics and skillful songwriting, Lila plumbs the depths of her young adulthood and explores the trials and tribulations of queer womanhood in the 21st century. This young artist found her passion, and eternal love for music at the tender age of five, when she started her classical training through cello. Since then, Lila has picked up singing, songwriting, and guitar to establish her presence as a musician. Shortly after placing in the Top 100 of the 2021 CBC Searchlight Competition, Lila took off to Montreal to pursue a formal education in audio engineering and sound production. Lila’s unique production and intricate lyricism are masterfully executed in her sophomore album Wild Tension, which garnered a collective 10,000 streams on Spotify and a well attended coast to coast Canadian tour this past fall.

Growing up listening to influential classics such as The Beatles, James Brown, Queen, and The Kinks, while constantly finding new artists from whom to draw inspiration (Arlo Parks, Lorde, Billie Eilish, Bleachers, and Feist), Lila has managed to find her unique indie pop sound. Lila Gray collaborates regularly with other musicians (Jill Barber, Aza Nabuko, and Aysia Jordan among them) and is currently establishing herself as a music producer/audio engineer for other up and coming artists.

The Trail & District Arts Council presents a celebration of family, food, and music in Arts Club’s hilariously heartwarming musical Made in Italy at The Bailey Theatre on March 30 at 7:30 pm.
Meet Francesco Mantini, a second-generation Italian teen struggling to find his place in Jasper, Alberta. Tired of living up to his traditional Italian-immigrant father’s expectations and the constant bullying from his Canadian peers, he takes inspiration from icons Rocky Balboa and John Travolta, and reinvents himself as Frank Martin: crooner and ladies’ man.
Weaving the electrifying music of the 1970s with classic Italian tunes, this five-time Jessie Award–nominated show is equal parts comedy, music, and heart as father and son find themselves despite their differences.
A one-man show that is as buoyant and bubbly as a glass of prosecco, Made in Italy is so delightful you won’t soon fuhgeddaboudit.

LIVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC SHOWCASE
2024-03-31 15:00 - 19:00 (America/Vancouver) | Harrison Memorial Cultural Centre, 16074 Crawford Creek Rd, Crawford Bay, V0B 1E0
A Family Friendly Afternoon Concert + Dance Party
You might be asking… what is “Live Electronic Music”? Well, simply put, it is electronic music that is performed live. In other words, the performers are not DJing; rather, they utilize a variety of electronic instruments (e.g. synthesizers, sequencers, computers, electronic violins, vocal processors, theremins, loopers, etc.) and weave sonic-worlds in real-time, one layer at a time.
This showcase will take you on an epic journey into the world of live electronic music. It’ll start right at 3:20pm with a 10 minute talk giving an overview of live electronic music. Following this, each of the 4 acts (who produce music in completely different genres of music) will do two things. They will: 1) give a 10 minute talk discussing their creative and technical processes, so that attendees have a much deeper insight into how they think about, feel into, and perform their music, and 2) follow that talk with a 40 minute performance.
The artists are:
tpwtr (glitchy lo-fi funk)
thisissami (improvised beats & freestyle rap)
Nella Banner (ethereal downtempo & ambient)
Jaq Taforo + Aurelien Sudan (improvised electronic-jazz fusion)
Food will be available courtesy of Nelson-based Mexican chef Erika Cuevas. She will be serving burritos and soup, with vegetarian and gluten free options available.
Sound will be provided by Live Harmonics from the Slocan Valley, who will be setting up a PK sound system.
Doors open at 3:00pm. Show starts at 3:20pm.

Finally! Another night for Producers, Beatmakers, and Electronic Music Composers to jam for fun!

WHAT IS IT? It’s a night of collaboration games for Producers, Beat-Makers, and Electronic Music Composers, of all genres, DAWs, and skill levels.

Join us for a fun music collaboration event tailored for electronic music composers and producers. Bring your Headphones and laptop with your preferred DAW or hardware such as MPC, Maschine, Push3, or others.

The event is on April 3rd from 6-9:30 pm at “The Jam Factory”, 303 Vernon St, Nelson, BC V1L 4E3. This is Volume 2 of a series of monthly jams, each featuring a unique collaboration “game” or “style”.

***This month’s theme: SESSION MUSICIANS***

Here’s how it works:

Producers are each granted time with one of the participating “session musicians” to record original accompaniment to the music YOU create during the jam.

Producers choose when they’d like to use their recording time. You choose whether to record a lick, progression, or melody at the beginning of the jam to flesh out for the rest of the session or have the musician improvise on something you’ve started at the beginning of the jam!
At the end of the jam enjoy sharing your production, listening to other’s creations, asking questions and describing challenges you faced along the way!

It’s an opportunity to build music production skills, support and be supported by other producers, ask questions, and eat snacks!
