Conor Gains Band

Band
Rainbow Bistro, 76
Murray Street
Friday, July 20 @ 9
pm
On his first solo full-length album, “Compass”, singer/songwriter Conor Gains proves himself deeply devoted to making uncompromisingly soulful music that transcends all genres. Gains' label debut marks the follow-up to the self-released sophomore album "Run Away With The Night", which sparked interest in the young artist's music. In 2016 Gains' album closing song "Leave It On The Line" won the Cobalt Prize at the Maple Blues Awards. This national prize is designed to highlight innovation and creativity in songwriting. This is the impression one gets while listening to the Conor Gains Band. The deep respect of roots, jazz and blues music paired with the soulful, adventurous exploration of contemporary music gives Gains' songs an air of familiarity while listening to something completely unique and transcendental.

NAC PRESENTS
Shakura S’Aida
NAC Azrieli Studio, 1
Elgin Street
Saturday, September
29 @ 8 pm
Shakura’s
long-simmering career initially moved into high gear in 2008 with a triumph at
the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, when she earned the runner-up
position, competing against more than 100 bands from more than 20 different
countries. The success of that win has taken Shakura to almost 30 countries in
the past 10 years.
Shakura
S’Aida has been consistently thrilling audiences with her powerful pipes for
years, most recently as a guest host on CBC Radio 2’s Weekend Morning and
Tonic. As a veteran of the international music scene, she’s performed both as a
featured artist with musicians like Jimmy Smith, Lee Oskar (WAR), Bettye
LaVette and Keb Mo’, as well as an award winning solo artist.
After
a 6 year hiatus, Shakura is back in the studio; this time with co-producers
Donna Grantis (Prince/3rd Eye Girl), Keb’ Mo’, Lance Anderson (Oscar Peterson)
and Roger Costa (Jeff Healey). The new album will feature collaborations with
international artists including Eric Gales & Michael Kaeshammer and is
scheduled for release Spring 2018.

CanAfrica Blues
With
Doc MacLean and Albert Frost
House Concert, Aylmer
QC
Monday, October 1
Contact
Dave Brennan for ticket info elwood66@videotron.ca
From
Doc: This year's "CanAfrica Blues" theme features my good friend
Albert Frost. How cool is that? I met this West Cape, South Africa based artist
during my Zulu Skies Tour in 2016. Since then, we've had a ball performing at
some of Africa's best theatres and festivals. This is a guy who counts Lonnie
Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, and Ali Farka Toure (who he actually played with) among
his top musical influences. He does rock, folk, jazz, traditional west African,
and blues. He's a real blues guy. But he's not terribly concerned about genre.
Or confined by it. Music is a language that comes of stories, and in Frost's
Africa there is no shortage of stories. South Africa has long been a unique
musical cauldron, and Albert's art reflects this. This year, he's my guest on
my Blues Highway across North America. CanAfrica Blues. I'm thrilled to have
him along.
Ride
shotgun on an epic, blues road tour as Doc MacLean and Albert Frost unite in a
four-wheel, continental drift. Mixing Delta with west Africa, Son House with Ali
Farka Toura, electric with acoustic, new stories with old... This
Canadian-African collaboration will surprise and delight as it rolls out across
ten Canadian provinces and a couple of territories.

True-blue Ottawans already know: the Dueling Pianos are Tyler Kealey and Dave Kalil on two sets of ivory keys, with guitarist Todd Huckabone and the audience acting as referee. Each unique show features an endless series of classic hits spanning decades of music. Playing a blend of requests from the audience, blistering guitar and piano solos, three-part harmonies, and random impromptu comedic moments, their show has won over the crowds for which they perform time after time. The group gained a legion of loyal fans as a regular Saturday act at Sens House in the Byward Market.
Dave has been entertaining audiences across Canada since 1976 as a solo piano player and singer but has had the most fun this past decade playing with – or against – singer-songwriter and fellow pianist Tyler. The two claim influences from musicians like Supertramp and the Eagles, from Billy Joel to the Beatles. In the intimate setting and beautiful acoustics of Centrepointe’s Studio theatre, the Dueling Pianos’ effortless skill and energy will delight newcomers and long-time fans alike!

Kim Wilson, the sole original member, still spearheads the group as it evolves
into its newest incarnation.
"We started as a straight blues band," vocalist and harmonica player Wilson says. "We now incorporate a mixture of a lot of different styles. We're an American music band and we're much higher energy than we were before."

"To

different ways of playing," Wilson comments. "You have to be willing
to adopt a more contemporary style. The guys we have now are able to do
that."
In addition to Wilson, the current Thunderbirds line-up features Jay Moeller on drums, Johnny Moeller and Mike Keller on guitar, and Randy Bermudes on bass.

The show features a heavy dose of electric
blues and rhythm and blues, with the occasional selection of sixties soul. The
first hour is dedicated to artist profiles and reviews of recordings on
particular labels. In the second hour there is a blues calendar, a rundown of
events in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, and interviews
with “new and reissued blues and rhythm and blues tracks on wax”, alternating
with “live blues and R&B for a Sunday night” in the last half hour of the
show.

Mellow Tone
Hosted
by Bernard Stepien, Ron Steeds, Allan Wigney, Jean-Michel Labatut and Aidian
Thomas, ‘In A Mellow Tone’ introduces listeners to the entire history of jazz,
from its beginnings to the latest innovations. Every program has a focus; on a
musician, a city, a festival, an instrument, a record label or on recent
releases. The hosts draw on their large personal CD and LP collections to
supplement CKCU's extensive resources.

Blues

NPR
from Canton NY
For those who live south of the city, OBS
member Bob Cavan notes that the National Public Radio (NPR) radio signal at
89.5 FM in Canton NY comes in pretty strong in Manotick. Bob recommends two
shows in particular. Bob says “The Blue Note” Tuesdays 3 pm-5 pm, and “The
Radio Bob Show” Wednesdays 3 pm-5 pm are both excellent shows –
blues, ‘50s & ‘60s, rock & roll, R&B.

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.
**********
