Paul Reddick
Irene’s Pub, 885 Bank
Street
Saturday, January 27
@ 9:30 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.”

Michael Kaeshammer
NAC Babs Asper Theatre,
1 Elgin Street
Thursday, February 8
@ 7:30 pm
“No
Filter” is the 11th album from Michael Kaeshammer. This is the
sound of an artist following his muse completely unhindered by thoughts of
commercial imperatives or genre constraints. The prolific Vancouver
Island-based singer/songwriter/pianist/producer has earned a loyal
international following as a triple threat. He’s a piano virtuoso with a
technical mastery of many different styles, an eloquent singer/songwriter, and
a charming and engaging performer. On “No Filter”, Michael mixes his
well-crafted and melodic original songs with a couple of evocative piano
instrumentals, and the result is a delightfully varied collection.
Kaeshammer
has won West Coast Music Awards as Musician of the Year and Entertainer of the
Year, while seven JUNO Award nominations have netted him two wins. With his
recording career now spanning two full decades, Michael Kaeshammer has emerged
as a truly original artist at the very top of his game and one in love with the
creative process.

The 27 Club, 27 York

Friday, February 10 @
8:30 pm; $25
"Understanding
the order of time is important to anyone hoping to manifest a dream," says
Valerie June. "There is a time to push, and a time to gently tend the
garden."
Since the release of her 2013 breakout “Pushin' Against A Stone”, June has been patiently at work in the garden of song, nurturing seedlings with love and care into the lush bloom that is her stunning new album, “The Order Of Time”. Some songs grew from seeds planted more than a decade ago, others blossomed overnight when she least expected them to, but every track bears the influence of time. Thankfully for us, June was ready when time told her to harvest these songs. In the garden, as in life, there is a time for everything and the moment has finally arrived to enjoy the fruits of all her labor. With “The Order Of Time”, Valerie June has prepared a bountiful feast, and there's a seat at the table for everyone.

An Evening with
Digging Roots and Dione Taylor & The Backsliderz
Shenkman Arts Centre,
245 Centrum Boulevard
Thursday, March 1 @ 8
pm; tickets $40
Prepare
for a night of genre-blending R&B, folk and jazz uniting two of Canada’s
most versatile and captivating performers. Filled with soul-stirring
storytelling, new rhythms and exhilarating emotion, Digging
Roots and Dione Taylor’s performances re-make musical traditions,
creating a powerfully Canadian experience that is contemporary, passionate and
audacious.
Juno-winning First Nations power couple Shoshona Kish and Raven Kanatakta have built their sound on a unique musical marriage of unvarnished truth and unconditional love. Their five-piece band turns out tunes that don’t fit in boxes: indie-folk, global-soul, roots-rock, hip-hop and blues-infused, Digging Roots is overall politically-engaged and poetically-enamoured.
Jazz, blues and gospel collide in this artist’s deep love for music, influenced by her past as a pastor's daughter from Saskatchewan — Taylor was raised in a family completely connected to song. The soulful singer’s Juno-nominated debut album catapulted her career across the continents, seeing her perform for audiences that have included the President of the United States and HM Queen Elizabeth II.

NAC Presents
Ray Bonneville
NAC Azrieli Theatre,
1 Elgin Street
Tuesday, March 20 @ 8
pm
Every
now and then, you run across someone with a library's worth of stories to tell.
But unlike the raconteurs who regale friends with well-embellished versions of
their exploits, these storytellers have lived so much, they reveal chapters of
their hard-won wisdom slowly, carefully, like layers peeled from an onion.
Ray
Bonneville didn't even open his storybook until his early 40s, some 20 years
after he started performing. But with a style that sometimes draws comparisons
to JJ Cale and Daniel Lanois, this blues-influenced, New Orleans-inspired
"song and groove man," as he's been so aptly described, luckily found
his rightful calling.
On his fourth Red House Records album, “Easy Gone”, Bonneville delivers 10 reasons why patience pays off. In each, his guitarwork shimmers like stars emerging at dusk. His voice carries the rich, natural timbre of time, though underneath that pearl-like smoothness, one hears its gritty core. His harmonica rhythms add even more texture to his sound.

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.
