AREA HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK
****************************************
Peter Karp & Sue Foley
Music by the Bay Live at
Annandale, 221 Church Street South, Ajax ON
Friday Oct 18, 2013 @ 9 pm;
Advance Tickets $40
Sue Foley is considered to be one of
the finest blues and roots artists working today. Born to a working class
family, Sue spent her early childhood moving from Canadian town to town with
her mother. At sixteen, she embarked on her professional career. By twenty-one,
she was living in Austin TX and recording for the legendary blues label, Antone’s
Records. Her first release, “Young Girl Blues”, quickly established her unique
talents as a blues guitarist and songwriter. Throughout the ‘90s she took to
the road with her paisley Telecaster and honed her craft, working and sharing
the stage with such artists as BB King, Buddy Guy, Lucinda Williams and Tom
Petty. After moving back to Canada, Sue won the prestigious Juno Award for her
critically acclaimed CD “Love Coming Down” as well as seventeen Maple Blues
Awards.
Gifted singer-songwriter, guitarist, pianist and American troubadour,
Peter Karp, is a master
songsmith with an art for spinning true-to-life emotions, humor, and candor.
With an upbringing that was equal parts southern Alabama and the swamps of New
Jersey, Karp’s music is fueled by the Yankee-Rebel connection. He first caught
national attention with help from Rolling Stone guitarist Mick Taylor who
recorded and toured with Karp on his first label release “The Turning Point”.
Karp further established himself on the national scene as a critically
acclaimed songwriter, and accomplished guitarist and pianist with the release
of his Blind Pig debut entitled “Shadows and Cracks”. On the road across the
U.S. and Canada, Karp repeatedly transfixes his live audiences. Critics compare
his songwriting to John Hiatt and John Prine, with impressive guitar and slide
licks infused by his love of Freddie King and Elmore James.
“…red-hot guitar fretwork and pristine vocals …. stomping keyboards and
raspy voice; mesh like well-oiled gears …. the duo’s creative chemistry
shimmers in every note…. ”

Tuesday, October 15 @ 9:05 pm
A town of some 13,000 inhabitants in northern Alabama on the banks of
the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals is
tiny in comparison to cities like Memphis, New Orleans and Nashville. Yet for
the last half-century it has punched way above its weight in the annals of
American music. It’s effectively the centre of southern country soul, thanks to
its legendary recording studios, where such stars as Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett,
Percy Sledge and Candi Staton made their names, and where in later years
established stars like the Rolling Stones, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and Rod
Stewart arrived to infuse their music with the elusive ‘Muscle Shoals sound’.
ByTowne Cinema and CKCU are screening concert and documentary films
every Monday (repeated Tuesdays on some weeks) for as long as interest
continues.

5th
Annual An Evening to Remember
Gala Dinner and Dance fundraiser for Alzheimer’s Research
Ottawa Convention Centre, 55 Colonel By Drive
Saturday, October 26; doors @ 5 pm, dinner @ 7 pm, dance 9 pm – 1 am;
tickets $100
From Tom Rowe:
As some of you know, Sweet and the Back Beat
has been involved with the "You and Me for Memories Gala" for the
past four years. This is a fund raising event for Alzheimer's research.
Our good friend Dave St. Jean is the Chairman and driving force behind this
effort and I am forwarding the invitation below. This is a first class event,
very well organized and dedicated to a worthy cause. Please consider
lending your support.
Hi, I am the
Chairman of the You and Me for Memories Foundation, with a mandate to
raise funds to support research into all aspects of Alzheimer's disease and
other dementias. I would like to invite you to our 5th annual An
Evening to Remember Gala Dinner and Dance fundraiser for Alzheimer’s
Research. All proceeds raised go directly to support Alzheimer’s Research at
the University of Ottawa. Last year An Evening to Remember sold out.
As you know, Alzheimer’s is not a normal part
of aging. It is devastating – and fatal – but not quick. It
slowly steals memory; cognitive, verbal and physical abilities; and ultimately,
life. By the time you’ve finished reading this email another person in Canada
will have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. There is no cure and no prevention. Research
is the key to a cure. With
enough support, researchers could find that cure, or a treatment, within 5-7
years.
Come and join us, and to help rid the world
of Alzheimer’s disease. Please circulate this email to others who may be
interested in supporting this important fundraising endeavour.
Visit www.youandmeformemories.ca
for more information on Alzheimer’s, the Gala, to purchase tickets, make
donations and sponsorship opportunities. You may also call us at 613-836-0961,
or email youandmeformemories@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Dave St-Jean

Friday, November 8; Advance tickets $40
Their first CD collaboration in 2005, “Morning Sun”, garnered rave
reviews, extensive air play, and led to multiple Canadian Maple Blues Award
nominations, including Album of the year, and Acoustic Act of the year. Their
second albums, also recorded for the Electro-Fi label, “Night Bird Blues” was
extremely well received, with great reviews and airplay internationally. It led
to them being awarded 3 Maple Blues Awards in January 2010, including being
recognized as Songwriters Of The Year. Their third Electro-Fi release,
“DeltaPhonic”, led to more Maple Blues Awards, and reached number 1 on B.B.
Kings Bluesville XM Sirius satellite radio network. Collectively they have been
awarded 9 Maple Blues Awards and 6 JUNO Nominations.

ZZ Top
Canadian Tire Centre,
Kanata ON
Monday, November 11;
tickets $60.50 and up
ZZ Top lay undisputed claim to being the longest running major rock band
with original personnel intact and in 2004 the Texas trio was inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With the release of each of their albums the band
has explored new ground in terms of both their sonic approach and the material
they’ve recorded. Evidence of that consistency and adaptability is found in “La
Futura”, their first studio album in nine years, which was released in
September of 2012. Produced by Rick Rubin and Gibbons, it reflects the solid
blues inspiration that has powered the band since the very beginning with a
contemporary approach that underscores the group’s inclination to experiment
and explore new sonic vistas. The album includes ten new tracks including the
widely lauded ‘I Gotsta Get Paid’ that has become both a video and in-concert
sensation.
****************************************
Bonnie Raitt
with special guest Marc Cohn
NAC Southam Hall, 53 Elgin
Street
Friday, November 15 @ 8 pm;
tickets start at $82
The long awaited return of the legendary
Bonnie Raitt to the stage of the National Arts Centre with a very special
guest: Marc Cohn. Well into her International Tour for her Grammy Award Winning
19th album “Slipstream”, this will be Bonnie’s first Ottawa
appearance in over 6 years. The album got its start by Bonnie’s initial
collaborations with longtime admirer, producer Joe Henry. Though many
songs were actually recorded at that time, 4 have been included on
“Slipstream”, with the remainder to be released on later recordings. The
balance of the album comes from subsequent sessions with her much-lauded
touring band including George Marinelli (guitar), James ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson
(bass), Ricky Fataar (drums) and longtime friend Mike Finnegan (keyboards).
Expect to hear a number of the new songs from “Slipstream” featured, along with
many favourite songs from Bonnie’s catalogue of recordings from the last 40
years.

Ray Bonneville

Wednesday, November 20 @ 8
pm; tickets $20
Many of those familiar with Red House recording artist Ray Bonneville
know that he is a hard driving, blues influenced, song and groove man who often
writes about people who live on the fringe of society. Ray’s vibe is loose and
soulful. With a greasy guitar style, horn-like harmonica phrasing, smoky vocal
style and pulsing foot percussion he immediately rivets audiences. His solo
performance fills a concert hall with all the sound layering and drama of a
full band. The consummate, driven professional, Ray plays more than one
hundred and fifty shows a year across the US, Canada and Europe. He has a
loyal, enthusiastic fan base wherever he goes.
