Whitby Marina, 301 Watson St W, Whitby, ON
Friday, May 12 @ 8
pm; advance tickets $35, at the door $40
Cheryl Lescom has been part of the Canadian Blues Scene
for over 30 years. Starting off as a back-up singer for Ronnie Hawkins and
Long John Baldry, Cheryl has recorded, toured and performed with the likes of
Jeff Healy, Matt Minglewood, Dutch Mason the Downchild Blues Band and
more. After an absence to raise a family, Cheryl recorded two independent
CDs before taking some time off to recover from a bout with Cancer. Her “High
Heeled Blues” CD features 14 songs including ‘Queen Bee’ written by Juno Award
winner (and the CD’s producer and guitarist) Jack De Keyzer, ‘I Can’t Stand It’
written by Mr. Downchild, Donnie Walsh (who guests on the CD) and ‘Beg Borrow
Steal’ written by Matt Minglewood. The first single ‘Heartache’ features
additional vocals by the Detroit Women and piano from JUNO nominee Julian
Fauth.
When Cheryl teamed up with the Tucson Choir Boys (‘Sameday’
Ray Walsh and Dave The Cat) for an appearance at the Grapejam Acoustic Blues
Festival, the response was phenomenal. After doing a few more gigs
together the decision was made to start writing some original material. After a
year of touring and recording, the “Cheryl Lescom & The Tucson Choir Boys”
CD was released, garnering airplay on blues, pop and roots radio across Canada.

"I’m really excited to be performing where I grew up. Many of my songs were born, arranged and rehearsed in Barrhaven, but we’ve never performed there. "A Homecoming", if you will. It will be a night to remember in an elegant and comfortable setting. I hope you will be part of this rare double-header. This show will be filmed--striving for the “ultimate take,” all stories will be told, all risks will be taken, and all moments will be magical! "

The Commotions have sidestepped the lightweight pop craze
and taken the backroads straight into the hearts of their loyal followers,
earning unwavering support from the true lovers of genuine, unsullied soul
music. This 12-piece, sharply dressed, original throwback to the days of Motown
is an evolved collection of Canada's top funk & jazz players. This band
originally united to provide a Canadian contingent to Funk Brother's (Motown
Records) lead vocalist Delbert Nelson as "Delbert & The
Commotions". The band's Musical Director, Brian Asselin honed his skills
playing with acts such as The Four Tops and The Temptations, and his original
music has been featured on HBO and ABC in the U.S. The Commotions are currently
working with Canadian soul hero Jarvis Church of The Philosopher Kings, Juno
Award winner Steve Marriner of Monkey Junk, Steve Berndt of the Jivewires,
Juno-Nominated saxophonist Petr Cancura, and jazz hero Mark Ferguson. The band
features vocalists Jeff Rogers (Silver Creek and The Cooper Brothers) and
Rebecca Noelle (The PepTides, Rumours, and David Gogo.) With a sonically
monumental performance and an energizing visual display, The Commotions command
every room they play, drawing in audiences with their sizzling brass section,
thumping backbeat, and sensitive ballads.

Unsung and On The
Side
With Carolyn Fe
Tuesdays, 7-9 pm
Re-broadcast Saturday 10 am – noon & Sunday 2-4 pm
(all times EST)
It’s all about the Blues, Jazz and its derivatives from
around the globe and just around the corner. Songs rarely heard, from the very
first recordings all the way to indie artists who consciously push the envelope
to the next generation sounds of the genre; some older releases will be spun -
just because the album in old, doesn't mean it's forgotten, thus the "On
The Side" part of the show's title.
**********
Streaming great Blues, Roots,
Soul, R&B, Folk, East Coast and Celtic music across Canada and around the
world 24/7/365.
Check out their Canadian Blues
shows and hosts, including James Doran’s ‘Inside The Blues’, Brant Zwicker’s
‘At The Crossroads’, along with Mark Stenzler's ‘Blues Zeppelin’ from
Switzerland … and lots more Canadian and international Blues shows.
