Parc
de l’Imaginaire
Festival
de Jazz
Sussex
Friday,
July 26 @ 7:30 pm
Sussex
is the brainchild of Michael Emenau and Rob Lutes. The two renowned musicians
were childhood friends and high school bandmates in New Brunswick. They went
their separate ways following university—Michael to Tokyo, San Francisco and
Paris, where he made a name for himself as a world-class jazz percussionist and
composer; Lutes to Montreal, where he has recorded six albums and earned a
reputation as one of Canada’s finest songwriters and roots performers.
Reunited in 2012, the pair began to write together for the first time in 20 years. Encouraged by the results, and by CALQ and Canada Council grants, they decided to make a record. Enlisting the services of some of Montreal’s finest musicians, including Benoit Charest (guitar), Josh Zubot (violin), Sage Reynolds (bass), Ivanhoé Jolicoeur (trumpet/flugelhorn), they went into the legendary Studio Frisson in Montreal in Fall 2014 and Winter 2015 and came out with Parade Day. Featuring a unique mix of instruments on 11 compelling and diverse originals and the Randy Newman gem “Dayton, Ohio, 1903,” the album represents a modern day love letter to the early jazz, blues and folk music that were their primary musical influences.
In a live setting, this new ensemble calls on its diverse talents and extensive experience to spin this mix of genres into an inspiring musical experience.

Located
in the heart of Old Aylmer, the Parc de L’Imaginaire cultural park was created
in 1985 in collaboration with the City of Gatineau (then Aylmer). Adjacent to
Centre d’exposition L’Imagier, which organizes the artistic programming
presented there, the Parc de L’Imaginaire offers an annual line-up featuring
musicians and performing artists. During the summer, a series of world music,
jazz and World music concerts is offered free of charge in the park. Visitors
to this enchanting setting nestled beside the Ottawa River, Cedar Park, and the
Symmes Inn Museum can view the sculpture/benches from the City of Gatineau’s
public art collection while experiencing rhythms from around the world.
Join
us, alone or with friends and family, for the many events that the Parc de
l’Imaginaire will be organizing for you this summer!

Westport is a beautiful historic town on the Rideau Waterway - a 90-minute drive from Ottawa, 45 minutes from Kingston.
This
year we celebrate our 15th Anniversary season - making BOTR
one of the longest running and best Blues Series in the country. We've put
together another fabulous Line-Up of some of Canada's best Blues
artists - nominees and winners of Juno Awards, Maple Blues Awards,
American Blues Music Award, Western Canadian Music Award and more - bringing
back some of the all time favourites who have played the Series over
the years plus a few great new ones.
Visit www.BluesOnTheRideau.ca for more more details including artists' Bios, LINKS to their websites and You Tubes.
Then check your calendars, make your choices and RESERVE NOW to be sure you don't miss out on the shows. This is particularly true if you want to STAY OVERNIGHT. All the rooms at The Cove; nearby B&Bs and the Westport Station Motel usually sell out in advance on BOTR nights.
The 2019/20 Season kicks off September 13
with the incredibly talented
HARRISON KENNEDY -
Juno Award and Maple Blues Award winner and American Blues Music Award nominee - coming with his red hot band from the Hammer!
You will note that there has been a SMALL INCREASE in the ticket price this year - from $65 pp to $70 pp (plus HST). This is the first price increase in 5 years and is necessary to cover the increased costs of just about everything - food, drink, staff, band and Sound Engineer fees, advertising, printing costs and more.
However, when you consider the quality of the meal, the venue, the ambiance and the incredible LIVE music on these nights and compare it to just about anything else this is still one of - if not THE - best entertainment value in eastern Ontario - make that the country!
Also note that there are 3 TWO NIGHT STAND shows this season - October, November and January - giving those who have difficulty in making the Friday night shows more chances to come out on Saturday nights!
And we've added a show in DECEMBER this year - December 13 with multiple Juno Award winners MONKEYJUNK. If you want a great place to have your Christmas Party next season this would be it! Book early!

Rheaume & Miss Emily

Thursday,
August 8 @ 8 pm
AMANDA
RHEAUME - unique & soulful blend of AMERICANA ROOTS pop
An engaging performer, Rheaume has developed a following across Canada and in Europe, where she tours regularly. She has long employed her music as a force for good, as shown by three trips to Afghanistan to perform for Canadian military personnel, plus visits to the Alert base in Canada's far north and the troubled Indigenous community of Attawapiskat.
Rheaume co-founded Babes4Breasts, an initiative that, through concerts and recording projects, raised money for breast cancer charities across Canada over a 10-year period.
This is an artist with a heart as big as her talent.
MISS EMILY
Her music spans genres. Her voice soars to emotional heights. For 15 years she has captivated fans across Canada, the US and the UK with her unique combination of rootsy songs and incomparable vocals. Her unparalleled work ethic began along Ontario’s 401 corridor where she played night after night in bars; all while refining her songwriting and gaining a loyal following. Later, she graduated to regional theatres and Broadway-style shows. This multi-pronged approach paid off in opportunities to perform at larger outdoor venues like Ottawa Bluesfest and in Bobcaygeon opening for The Tragically Hip.

Irene’s
Pub, 885 Bank Street
Friday,
August 9 @ 9:30 pm; $15
Melding
poetry, mystery, darkness and light, along with an extensive knowledge of the
history and traditions of blues music is what makes Paul Reddick one of the most
popular figures on the blues and roots music scene today. For over 25 years
he’s been writing and performing his eclectic brand of blues, bringing the art form
to new frontiers with his rapacious, deep vocals, masterful harmonica playing
and song writing. As the unofficial poet laureate of Canadian blues, words are
his weapon of choice and when he sings, it is near impossible not to listen and
get lost within the songs, right alongside him and illustrating what the
influential British magazine Mojo described as his “wayward brilliance.”

Tickets - advance $20, at the door $25
Australian/Irish
Duo Hat Fitz & Cara will be in Ottawa for 1 night only celebrating their
latest album "Hand It Over".
Hat
Fitz is a “veteran” wild man of the blues scene in Australia. He has a
record 18 straight appearances at Byron’s East Coast Blues and Roots Festival,
a record that is not likely to ever be broken, and one which bears testimony to
his amazing live performances and popularity with festival goers. Cara draws
on her soul background (she’s toured Europe and the United States with singers
such as Jamiroquai and the hugely popular Corinne Bailey-Rae), and although
blessed with a sensational voice she was not content to be labelled as ‘just a
singer’. She has taken to drumming duties as well as washboards, flute and tin
whistle, sometimes all at once.
They
have been festival favourites at Ottawa Bluesfest, CityFolk and Ontario
Festival of Small Halls. Join them on August 25th, 2019 as the pair take you on
a musical journey with ample, boisterous highs, and longing, bluesy lows. From
the Australian outback to the Canadian shield, Hat Fitz & Cara put on a
show that is guaranteed to energize and invigorate.

It's been a year and I'm here to tell you... no wait... to invite you to join us for another wonderful full day outdoor concert in the company of friends and family and acquaintances... under the big old trees... in front of a large yet intimate stage where the artists perform up close and personal. Not a bad seat in the house.
The musical lineup is extraordinary as always. Two-time JUNO winner DOMINIC MANCUSO GROUP (world music) returns with his world class players; NORAH DOOLEY (educator, author) is driving up from Boston to engage us encore une fois with her remarkable storytelling; STEVE PAYNE(guitarist extraordinaire, songwriter) is finishing up his Canadian tour with a solo acoustic performance before returning to the UK; MIKE BRANTON BAND (aka Trio In Residence) is back to take us on another soulful journey into the blues (guaranteed); and this year we're introducing an excellent local jazz trio, ON THE MARK, to start things off.
Once again, the music will be eclectic and world class; the food fabulous and plentiful; the atmosphere magical. We offer it all to you in support of World Peace and Environmental Awareness. We offer you eight hours of uninterrupted relaxation and entertainment and dinner. We welcome you to our home.
Visit concertforpeace.net for complete info and RSVP soon because space is limited and ticket sales are ramping up .
Warmest Regards,
Michael & Louise Pickett

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,
