Pro
Stand-up Comic, Skip Philipps will entertain and harass the audience between bands.
ALL
Proceeds to Canadian Stand-up Comic Legend Mike Allan MacDonald
Brian
has organized this benefit because Mike Allan MacDonald has been his friend for
forty years. Back in '71 & '72, they toured in a band called Mapleridge and
played the NAC together when it was brand new.
Mike lost his liver function after receiving the wrong meds from a
doctor while on a comedy tour. He's now back in Ottawa, in desperate need of a
liver donor to provide him a chance to live.
Brian hopes that these benefits will do more than raise just money … that
they will keep Mike’s plight in the public eye and increase his chances of
getting a suitable donor (Type 'O' negative).
Steves'
Music Store Ottawa & St. John's Music Store have each contributed two $50
Gift Certificates to be raffled, and at each venue there will be a Door Prize draw
for five 11 x 17 inch full colour posters which have been personally
autographed by Mike MacDonald.
Anyone
who is unable to attend but wishes to help Mike by making a contribution may
send a cheque or money order to: Brian McPhillips, 520 Bronson Ave, Apt # 511,
Ottawa, Ontario, K1R 7Y9. Please make
cheque or money order out to Mike Allan MacDonald. And on behalf of Mike, thank you.

artists with proceeds going to support local Westport festivals. All shows – 6-10
pm. Buffet dinner & show $45; advance reservations required.
June 24 – Steve Strongman
Steve
Strongman is one of the most gifted guitar players and singer/songwriters in
Canada today and was just recognized as such with the 2012 Maple Blues Award
for Guitar Player Of The Year. He plays electric and acoustic equally well.
July 8 – Danny Brooks
Danny
Brooks has led a remarkable life having been rescued from the depths of despair
and drug addiction at one point to joy and faith in the Lord and he isn't
afraid to tell you about it. The one constant through it all has been his
wonderful music. He is a consummate songwriter, a talented guitarist and
harmonica player who possesses a deep, soulful, powerful voice.
July 22 – Harrison Kennedy
Harrison Kennedy is a fabulous Canadian
singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (guitar, mandolin, banjo), born and
raised in Hamilton ON, a direct descendent of African American slaves who made
their way to freedom in Upper Canada through the Underground Railroad in the
mid 1800s. They brought their soulful roots music with them and passed it down
from generation to generation which, no doubt, explains why he plays and sings
the Blues so deeply. Harrison writes and sings what he feels from the heart
telling stories about the sorrows and joys that we all face in everyday life
through his songs.
August 12 – Paul Reddick with the Weber Brothers
Paul Reddick is one of the best
singer/songwriter/harmonica players in Canada.
He has been called "The Poet Of Song" for his emotive,
passionate way with words, voice and harp. He will be joined by the very
talented Weber Brothers - Sam on guitar and Ryan on stand-up bass. Originally
from Maryland they came to Toronto to play in Ronnie Hawkins' band in the early
2000s and stayed.
August 26 – Michael Jerome Browne
Michael
Jerome Browne is an extremely accomplished instrumentalist (guitar, banjo,
mandolin, violin and more) and singer and, together with his wife Bee, writes
beautiful songs. It's hard to pigeon
hole his music - you'll hear elements of folk, roots, gospel, country, soul,
R&B, Motown, jazz, rock and bluegrass as well as blues in his repertoire -
and its all good! For this Show he is joined by long time friend and excellent
percussionist John McColgan.
September 9 – Treasa Levasseur with David Baxter
"Think
Joni Mitchell, Etta James, Carole King and Dusty Springfield rolled into
one….her voice has great range, it can whisper, cry, soar with joy and blast
you out of your seat - sometimes all in the same song! She's also a first class
songwriter with lyrics that emote, entice and captivate. And she can play -
piano, accordion, guitar, mandolin, percussion, Rhodes and diamonica. Add in a
theatre background and a career as a successful children's music
teacher/entertainer and you have the versatile, eclectic and very talented
package that is Treasa Levasseur." (James Doran, OBScene, Summer
2006) David Baxter, a very accomplished
Producer and guitarist who has been with Treasa since day one, will be accompanying
her for this Show.

A Bluebird-style performance by emerging singer-songwriters:
Craig McIntyre's music exemplifies a strength, spirituality, and wisdom to create a brand new flavour of soul music. He is as comfortable sitting at a piano in an intimate setting, or equally as brilliant in front of thousands with nothing but an acoustic guitar. His songs speak to life long confrontations, sexy sheet messing love, and questions concerning the destiny of his own soul.
www.myspace.com/craigmcintyre
Fraser Anderson is currently on a North American tour, which includes dates in venues from Halifax to Toronto to New York City. He has shared a stage with the artists as diverse as Natalie Merchant and Chuck Berry and can switch from emotional to hilarious in the drop of a hat.
www.fraseranderson.com
Melanie Brulee's charismatic performances have taken her around the world, having spent the better part of the last decade in Australia performing her sweet and sassy folk-rock-cabaret in French and in English. The work she did as primary songwriter for pop-rock outfit General Electryk won her "Musician of the Year" in Cornwall in 2011.

concert 1: Harry Manx and David Lindley, recorded at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
Harry Manx is called an "essential link" between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that cross the traditions of the blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas, and beyond. It's hard to resist, easy to digest and deliciously addictive to listen to. David Lindley has been smashing musical barriers and fusing idioms from his earliest days. Probably best known for his solo on Jackson Browne's "Runnin' on Empty," Lindley has cut a singular and eccentric path through more than three decades playing music as a coveted sideman and a world class performer in his own right. Together, Manx and Lindley create an incredibly full sound for just two guys. Harry Manx and David Lindley joined forces at Vancouver's Vogue Theatre; the audience was so mesmerized and enchanted by their performance that you could have heard a pin drop.

Chic Gamine, recorded at the Library and Archives Canada Auditorium in Ottawa
Chic Gamine's Juno award winning music is immediately exciting and heartwarming. They blend four-part harmonies with intricate grooves, and draw inspiration from gospel, soul, 50s doo-wop, Brazilian forro and French chansons. It only took a couple of years for their soul-pop sound and heart-on-sleeve lyrics to touch fans of all kinds of music across North America. Their debut self-titled album landed them the 2009 Juno Award for Best Roots/Traditional album, while City City, their sophomore album, received a Juno nomination. Chic Gamine took to the stage at the Library and Archives Canada - Auditorium in Ottawa, representing Winnipeg at last year's National Arts Centre Prairie Scene, a two week festival featuring some of the brightest and talented performers from Manitoba and Saskatchewan in several venues across the nation's capital.
