David Gogo in Concert
Black Sheep Inn, Wakefield QC
Sunday, March 23 @ 4 pm
Before writing and recording his latest
album, “Come
On Down”, Gogo took a pilgrimage along the Blues Trail starting in
Memphis and traveling through Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama. Highlights of
his southern adventure included sitting in with local musicians at The Shack Up
Inn, Ground Zero, and Red's in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He appeared as a guest
on Sonny Payne's renowned King Biscuit Radio Hour, and toured the
legendary Fame, Sun, Stax, and Willie Mitchell's Royal Studios. Gogo also
traveled to towns mentioned in Robert Johnson songs, poured bourbon on
Johnson's grave, and even went down to Rosedale with his rider by his side, as
those famous ‘Crossroads’
lyrics proclaim.
Inspired by his journey through the
birthplace of the blues, Gogo wrote six original tunes and combined them with
six reinvented yet classic covers to create a new album that not only honours
traditional blues but also gets you dancing with some good old gritty rock and
roll. “Come On Down” takes you to a place
where Robert Johnson meets the Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac meets Ray
Charles. It's a wild ride that Gogo navigates with ease, ingenuity and style.

ZAPP Productions
Johnny Winter and Jimmy Bowskill Double Bill
Uxbridge Music Hall
Friday, March 21
and
Lindsay Academy Theatre
Saturday, March 22
A
dynamite double bill – Johnny Winter and Jimmy Bowskill.
New Johnny Winter iPad App on iTunes! Learn
all about the life and music of Johnny Winter through an illustrated mini-book
and audio clips of Johnny sharing thoughts and experiences. Then learn some of
Winter’s blues licks, riffs, turnarounds, and solos played by the master
himself.
Jimmy Bowskill has
been impressing his musical elders for a full decade now. At age 11, he
attracted the attention of late great bluesman Jeff Healey by busking outside
his Toronto club. Healey and the local blues community quickly sensed
Bowskill's passion and potential, helping him record his 2003 debut album, the
fittingly named “Old Soul”. The
following year, Jimmy's second album, “Soap
Bars & Dog Ears”, was nominated for a Juno Award, making him the
youngest ever Juno nominee. Since then, he has worked tirelessly on his craft.
The fruits of those labours can now be heard on his 5th release, “Back Number”, one you definitely
won't want to forget.

Ethan Russell:
The Best Seat in the House
Shenkman Arts Centre, 245 Centrum
Boulevard
Saturday, March 29 @ 8 pm; $36.25
Go on the road with The Rolling Stones, see Janis Joplin at The Royal Albert Hall, Jim Morrison in London’s Roundhouse, witness the taking of the “Who’s Next” cover, travel the road with Santana, see John Lennon falling in love, The Beatles filming “Let It Be,” The Stones touring “Exile on Main Street,” The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, and more.
No one else has had quite the same, remarkable
journey as multi-Grammy nominated author and photographer Ethan Russell. In
1967 he was a young American with a Nikon camera living alone in a small London
apartment, aspiring to become a writer. Just a few years later he was known as
one of the foremost rock photographers in the world. He would go on to
photograph The Who’s “Quadrophenia,” The Beatles’ last photo session, and many
others including Jerry Lee Lewis, The Moody Blues, Eric Clapton and Cream,
Traffic, Linda Ronstadt, Rickie Lee Jones, The Eagles, and more.
Ethan’s lifetime involvement with the
singer-songwriter motivated his development of a new kind of short, music based
film, the inspiration for what later became known as “music video.” He directed
the last film of John Lennon and Yoko Ono in Central Park. He directed videos
with Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones, Emmylou Harris, Paul Simon, Rosanne Cash,
Hank Williams Jr. and more. “It was a quite a ride,” says Russell.
Ethan has written three books exploring these years
but with the live show he now focuses on his “ride,” what it really was like to
be there.
The Presentation:
Seventy minutes of Ethan Russell’s behind-the
scenes stories with over 375 photographs and music.
Q&A:
After the presentation, Ethan takes questions from
the audience for thirty minutes or more.
Finally: Meet Ethan Russell
Those that wish to remain even longer are able to
meet with Ethan, look at (and purchase from) a selection of 30-40 matted, fine
art prints available at special prices for the evening.

BLUES ON THE SMALL SCREEN
********************************
‘Cities
In Blue’ takes you to the heart of the blues on the scenic route, with stories
and song. Blues is the DNA of 21st century music. Jazz,
folk, rock and roll, hip hop - everything - spun out of the music that emerged
across America following the end of the Civil War.
The blues was not one homogenous 12 bar
stomp - it developed differently in different regions, flavoured with the soul
and the sounds of the people who lived there. Cities In Blue is an 8-part
television series that explores what the sounds are and how they developed in
Chicago, Kansas City, Mississippi, Memphis, New Orleans, Texas, New York City
and the Piedmont region.
Each episode has been written, filmed,
directed & edited by talented hands right here in Canada, hosted by
award-winning musician/broadcaster Danny Marks. Along with some of Canada’s
most talented blues artists, songs and stories honouring each locale were
filmed in Revolution Studio and Peter J Moore's incredible enclave.
Toronto guitarist, songwriter and media
personality Danny Marks’ musical roots go back to the sixties as a founding
member of Capitol Records' group, Edward Bear. He is also a recipient of
the Toronto Blues Society's Blues With a Feeling Award for lifetime
achievement in music and broadcast.
"After two years of hard work and
love, Cities in Blue brings you the past, present and future of the blues, in a
fresh new way",
says Marks. "I am excited about the program and proud to be a part of a
great team".
