Prairie Scene Women's Blues Night
With Suzie Vinnick, Little Miss Higgins, Romi Mayes & Megan Lane
Library & Archives Canada Auditorium, 395 Wellington
Friday, May 6 @ 8 pm; $18
These four powerhouse prairie singer-songstresses can outplay and outsing just about anyone, and that’s just what they’re going to do at Prairie Scene. Saskatchewan’s Suzie Vinnick is a four-time Canadian Maple Blues Awards winner as vocalist of the year, with a voice described as “spun gold”. Little Miss Higgins is a Western Canadian Music Award (WCMA) winner for Outstanding Blues Recording, with a down-home raw talent that makes you sit up and pay attention.
2009 WCMA Songwriter of the Year, Manitoba’s Romi Mayes is a whisky-drinking straight shooter whose heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics and serious badass guitar playing have made her a favourite in venues from coast to coast; and Megan Lane’s distinctive voice and intense stage presence bridge the gap between blues, jazz, rock, and soul with a fierce passion.

For 33 years Morgan Davis has played the blues in Canada from Victoria, BC to St. John’s, Newfoundland, as well as Europe and the US.

His venues range from 30 seat coffee houses in the BC interior and Annapolis Valley to huge folk and blues festivals, performing for crowds of thousands. Playing with a band for the first 25 years of his career, recent years have seen Davis make a successful transition to performing as a solo artist. During his years on the road, Morgan perfected his repertoire of Blues classics, songs that figure prominently in his performances today. His style is taut and tough, and relies on intensity rather than speed and pyrotechnics to make its point. Morgan Davis’ passion for the Blues has never wavered ... and he fully expects to be on the road for the rest of his life.

Lauren is like many of your part-timers – young and works really, really hard to pay her bills. We will be holding a fundraiser at The Elmdale on Saturday May 14. 100% of moneys raised will help Lauren through her rehab. Let's pull together and help one of our own. Karla from Global Pet Foods will be here to collect all the funds!

Bill Bourne & String Bone
Westboro House Concerts
Saturday, May 21 @ 8 pm; $20
To reserve, email westborohouseconcerts@gmail.com
A multiple Canadian Juno Award winner, Bill has received international acclaim for his recordings and live performances. A mainstay on the international roots scene, life on the road is reflected in Bill's music – powerful rhythms and soulful songs, steeped in World Beat, Blues, Cajun, Celtic, Folk, Flamenco, Funk, Poetry and more.
His latest release, “Bluesland” is an intense collection of rock, folk and country, soaked with an electric blues sound that gets deep into your pores. Recorded 'live off the floor' in 3 days in April 2010 at Beta Sound Recorders in Edmonton, and marks a milestone in Bourne's career, collaborating with his son Pat Bourne, who plays electric lead guitar, and his daughter Emily Bourne, who painted some of the original artwork for the album. In addition to Bill's acoustic guitar and vocals, and his son's lead, The Free Radio Band features Pa Joe on electric smooth jazz guitar (African Guitar Summit), Moses Gregg on bass (The Swiftys) and Miguel Ferrer on drums (Santiago, Chile).
Americana best describes the music of String Bone, a project born of the songwriting talents of Stratford resident Barry James Payne. A mix of all of the North American roots music that has been so prominent since the turn of the century (last century that is) ... Payne is a seasoned writer and story teller. He paints portraits with his words, and the various musicians involved help Payne change the colour of his pallet from emotional folk and country ballads to uptempo country-rock and bluesy, smoky, jazzy grooves.

CBC Radio Two @ 7 pm
Monday, May 2 - Music Monday
concert 1: Luke Doucet and Kinnie Starr, recorded at the Yale Hotel in Vancouver
The first Monday every May is Music Monday. It's an opportunity to give props to music education in schools. Every year thousands of school kids learn a song that is sung and played in all kinds of versions across Canada. Luke Doucet wrote this year's Music Monday song called "Tomorrow is Coming". It's a hopeful and upbeat call to sing and play music. The two concerts recorded under the Music Monday banner include performances by Luke Doucet, and Kinnie Starr, and James Lamb. The common thread through these concerts was the passion about learning, teaching and sharing music with young people.
Tuesday, May 3 - Next! 2011, part 4 of 11 (from Toronto), recorded in various locations in Toronto, Ottawa, Perth, Ontario, and St. John's, Newfoundland
This fourth episode of Next! features up-and-coming artists and bands based in Toronto. Toronto is arguably the entertainment Mecca of English-speaking Canada, and artists from all over the country come here, with hopes of making it big. But there are so many artists - so much to pay attention to - that actually getting noticed is a major endeavour. Oftentimes, Toronto-based artists have an easier time getting noticed when they're out on the road, and such is the case with three of the four acts to whom we'll introduce you tonight. Leading the way is Latin-influenced singer-songwriter Patricia Cano and her great band recorded at La Nouvelle Scene in Ottawa. Next we'll hear the rootsier music of young singer-songwriter Jadea Kelly and her equally fine band laid down at the Stewart Park Festival in Perth, Ontario. The Beauties follow up with their edgy, rootsy rock live at The Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, but saxophonist Tara Davidson had to head off to St. John's Newfoundland to get her fine acoustic jazz in front of our Canada Live microphones. Wherever you hear them, we think these four emerging acts promise to be major voices in Toronto's ever-changing musical mosaic.
Friday, May 6
concert 1: Making a Prairie Scene, recorded at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Birds Hill Park, Manitoba
Right now in Ottawa, the National Arts Centre is shining a spotlight on prairie artists of all stripes as part of "Prairie Scene." In honour of that event Canada Live brings you a "Prairie Scene" recorded right in Manitoba. The cream of the Manitoba roots crop took the stage on a sunny afternoon at the Winnipeg Folk Festival and played to an enthusiastic hometown crowd. John K. Samson (of the Weakerthans) was the gracious host. In true Manitoba fashion, most of the musicians not only knew each other, but had played in each other's bands. In fact, Leonard Podolak looked around and exclaimed that half the people on stage had been members of The Duhks at one point in the band's life. Trio Bembe brought Cuban rhythms, the Duhks rocked out, the Wailin Jennys harmonized sweetly, Romi Mayes sang her raw brand of country, and Del Barber and Greg MacPherson served up well-crafted and heartfelt songs.
Lots of blues available in the concerts on demand section of the CBC Website …

Sweet Beaver Website & Memphis 2011
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Sweet Beaver website, including videos of all those that performed in the 2011 FAI edition of the Beaver Suite.
February 18-20, 2011 many Canadian artists participated in the Folk Alliance conference in Memphis, TN. A number of those artists showcased in the Sweet Beaver Suite.
The website: http://www.sweetbeaver.com features videos of all the artists who performed this year. The videos include a built-in direct link to the artists’ iTunes allowing viewers to easily purchase the music directly from the video. In support of these artists please spread the word about the sweetbeaver.com site.
The showcase, held in what its organizers call the Sweet Beaver Suite (a bilingual salute to the iconic Canadian animal), featured artists from almost every part of Canada, from the North West Territories to Newfoundland and represented a wide range of music. Fourteen singers or bands are from Ontario, seven from Atlantic Canada, five from the Prairie provinces, two from Quebec and one each from the North West Territories and British Columbia. Each year we include a small number of International performers as well.
While putting the site together we¹ve reminisced about past Beaver Suite performers and events. The showcase event in 2011 in Memphis was its 8th incarnation. Begun in Montreal in 2005 by Shawna Cooper and Richard Flohil, it was done a second time by Shawna in Austin in 2006. In those days we were truly guerrilla, unsanctioned. Now fully integrated into the event we have also gladly collaborated with Folk Music Canada and The Provincial Music Industry Associations and Roots Music Canada in support of the Canadian artists at Folk Alliance.
For further information contact: info@sweetbeaver.com
Roots Music has posted intimate videos from the Sweet Beaver Suite showcase:
