Gina Sicilia
The Rainbow, 76 Murray Street
Monday, August 15 @ 8:30 pm
Considered a true rising star in the blues world
ever since her debut album, “Allow Me to Confess”, brought her world-wide
acclaim in 2007, Gina manages to raise the bar even further with “The Alabama
Sessions”, which she recorded and produced in legendary Muscle Shoals, Alabama,
and where she throws down a music gauntlet of soul, power, grit and energy for
others to follow. Her songs and performances gracefully cross genres on the new
album, too, with echoes of soul, rock and even Americana woven throughout the
tapestry of sound she’s created on the new disc, bringing Gina’s music to an
even wider audience.

Carl Dixon, who has played with Coney
Hatch, The Guess Who and April Wine, remains one of Canada's stellar
singers and musicians. He tours and
records extensively as a solo artist, band member and inspirational
speaker.
As
lead singer for world chart toppers The Guess Who, Carl's world came undone
during a high speed car accident in Australia. On a remote rural
road Carl was found with 52 injuries including severe head trauma. If
he survived Carl was not expected to walk, talk or see again. Carl's
presentation takes you from rising rock star to barely clinging to life with
traumatic brain injury. Carl Dixon's recovery, re-training of his brain
and the reinventing of his career in the cutthroat music world is an
inspiring, enthralling presentation. After
years in recuperation Carl's story came full circle when he fulfilled his goal
and returned to The Guess Who as lead singer for two special shows in
2016.
Carl's powerful
2-hour acoustic show features songs from his career including hits by
Canada's rock icons, his own compositions and crowd favourites.
“The Valley Food and
Drink Co.” is an Ottawa Valley destination restaurant located inside Calabogie
Lodge on the shore of beautiful Calabogie Lake.
The restaurant offers visitors an opportunity to experience Ottawa
valley culture, heritage, music and of course food and drink. Menus have been designed to highlight the
diverse cultural nature that created our Ottawa valley heritage. Recipes have been prepared using wherever
possible the freshest ingredients the Valley has to offer, hand-picked from
farms, farmer’s markets and local meat producers. The restaurant is fully licensed and also
features local craft beers and Ontario wines.

“… February 11, was the third anniversary of
weekly jazz jams at the Brookstreet Hotel's Options Jazz Lounge in Kanata – and
the HML Trio will be keeping the music going, as they have from the beginning.
There
are not many jams that last without a break for that long, and with the same
host band. But the Ottawa jazz trio – Jamie Holmes on drums, Alex Moxon on
guitar, and J.P. Lapensée on electric bass – has built a steady following for
the Thursday jam, week in and week out.”

Terry Gillespie
The Branch, Kemptville ON
Saturday, August 27
Terry
Gillespie has been called a musical Shaman, Canada's King of Roots Music and
Mr. Groove for good reason - his live performances are fascinating,
entertaining and captivating in a way that allows the audience to pay attention
and not be distracted from the music by egotistical showmanship and maniacal
guitar playing. He is both charismatic and soulful. His guitar is tasteful, his
vocals beautifully phrased and he is backed by an energy of sound that pulls
people off their chairs and onto the dance floor. Those in attendance at Terry
Gillespie shows are part of the show, with each audience member an integral
part of the band; they too become one with the music.

next five years while continuing to perform and record with his own band.
Combine

musical style and you get the whole picture – an artist following his heart,
making that emotional connection.

Friday, September 16 @ 6 pm
Studebaker John Grimaldi was born in Chicago in 1952 and
heard the blues firsthand from Big Walter Horton, "One-Armed" John
Wrencher, Johnny Littlejohn and other regulars on Maxwell Street. "I can
remember a time when you could see Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, he'd play in his
own club, Hound Dog Taylor would always be around Maxwell Street. J.B. Hutto,
too. Being able to see them perform live was breathtaking. I'm basically
self-taught and I'd pick things up by just watching them."
Dinner and
Show. Fantastic food with world class Blues. Tickets are $65 plus HST for
dinner and show. Only 67 tickets are sold to these events and they sell

Paul Reddick
Son of Dave
Black Sheep Inn,
Wakefield QC
Friday, September 16
@ 8:30 pm
Melding poetry, mystery, darkness and light, along with
an extensive knowledge of the history and traditions of blues music is what
makes Paul Reddick on 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.”
Son of
Dave isn't you're average blues musician. He's an international cult Bluesman
on a mission to save your musical soul from atrophy. It would be an easy game,
sticking to cliché’s and playing a circuit of guitar-solo lovin', middle-aged
divorcees. No disrespect to the working man's blues circuit, but this one-man
harmonica & beat-box genius beats his own path, turning rhythm and blues
upside down and gathering a huge international army of devoted fans from all
walks of life. Son of Dave – born Benjamin Darvill – is half a century old now,
and started out in the blues + biker bars of Canadian mid-western city
Winnipeg, but has been based in the UK for 20 years. With a CV as long as your
arm and a briefcase full of naughty tricks, he is on the road again in 2016 and
still hasn't reached top speed. He's a long distance Bluesman, not a quick
burner. He'll still be going strong through his next fifty years no doubt. It's
YOU that has to catch him before sinking into your old age.

Cecile Doo-Kingué
& Wicked Grin
Black Sheep Inn,
Wakefield QC
Saturday, September
17 @ 8:30 pm
An exceptional stage presence, guitarist /
singer-songwriter Cécile Doo-Kingué blends blues, afro-roots and soul to create
a unique sound. Born and raised in New York City, first generation from
Cameroon, she has lived in the USA, France, and is now an adopted Montrealer. Cécile
Doo-Kingué isn’t just another token “chick” guitarist; her talents are measured
not by gender lines, but by the fact that she is quickly earning a stellar
reputation and a place alongside Canada’s current roster of great guitarists.
Powerful and raw, Cécile Doo-Kingué’s guitar prowess, lyrics, and sound make
for enthralling and intimate communion.
Building on the success of their sophomore album “Shame
On Me” released in 2013, and following their 2014 Maple Blues Award for Best
New Group, Murray Kinsley & Wicked Grin released “Stormy Water” in November
2015. Featuring 11 road-tested tracks, 10 of which were written by Kinsley,
this tight group of experienced musicians have stepped up their game. “Stormy
Water” features spirited upbeat, danceable numbers while expanding on the
heavier and grittier sound the band has been developing over the past few
years. “Stormy Water” was named Best Canadian Blues Rock Album of 2015 by the
Blues Underground Network and bassist Leigh-Anne Stanton was named The Maple
Blues Awards “Bassist of the Year” for 2015.
