KATE MAKI & NATHAN LAWR Struts Gallery is pleased to kick off its summer concert series with one of Canada's most revered up and coming songwriters. Kate Maki is getting fabulous reviews around the globe for her new album On High. An endearing performer with heart warming voice, Kate will be performing alongside one of the nation's hardest working musicians, Nathan Lawr, who has played in Sackville with the likes of the Constantines, Royal City and the Fembots. This show is not to be missed, a better way to spend a summer night we could not find. " Maki possesses a conversational singing style — much like that of Kathleen Edwards or Lucinda Williams — that feels plaintive, welcome, and warm. It's possible to soak in the space between notes and the sighs between chord changes, and she touches emotions with honest sentiments that recall the likes of Iris DeMent and even Neil Young." -
Bruce Warren ~ NPR http://katemaki.com/ http://www.nathanlawr.com/ |

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 Ghosts of the Highway Both Jeff and shayne are dynamic performers who've played seperately and together in bars, cafes, streetcorners and festival stages from one end of Canada to the other. With a voice like rusted steel creaking in the wind, Jeff performs on a pawnshop's worth of instruments (though limited to guitar, fiddle and harmonica for this tour) and sings road-worn fantasies like a hard-traveling vagabond caught somewhere between a logging camp and the faerie underworld. His songs echo the drama and dust of the old folksingers, filled with characters and stories like the women who've disappeared hitchhiking from the Highway of Tears in northern BC and the life-or-death labour battles fought by the I.W.W. in the early 20th century. Taking the term rambler to heart, shayne is often seen traveling thru the physical realms of highways and truck stops while rambling his way thru myriad stories of past, present and future. He is prone to outbursts of glee and his poems range from visionary tales to hyperkinetic bursts of abstract wordplay, mixing politics, metaphysics and love. As a performer his booming voice and energetic delivery owes a debt of gratitude to the beats, slam poetry and the open road. Whether speaking softly over the strains of mellow musical accompaniment or bellowing off-mic from the edge of the stage, shayne's voice holds a commanding presence that draws any within earshot into the worlds of his words. As Ghosts of the Highway, Jeff and shayne bring a show like an old-style revue: a mix of music, storytelling and audience participation. They frequently perform straight from the floor, stomping their boots and belting like born-again carnival barkers. Whenever possible the stage is opened to anyone in the room with a story or song of their own, creating an inclusive, inspiring atmosphere that breaks down the walls between audience and performer. |

Live Music From Toronto its The Burning Hell (ukelele sensation with the velvet voice) Barmitzvah Brothers (Banjo, quirky, folk pop) all the way from Guelph Struts Gallery & Faucet Media are pleased to present an evening with two outstanding, up and coming musical acts. Touring the Maritimes on the way to the Dead of Winter Festival in Halifax, these two WeeWork recording artists will stop in sackville for an intimate concert at Sackville's oldest Artist Run Centre. David Geffen described The Burning Hell as "a strange mix of gospel, folk-ish rock, gorgeous country and whatever you'd call that mixed with ukulele, He manages a seemingly impossible combination of cynicism, hope, musical prowess and lyrical perversive-ness put together with a keen eye for the details." Meanwhile Mark Brownlee, CHMA Music Director, would describe him as "a less gay, poor man's Stephin Merritt (Magnetic Fields)". The Barmitzvah Brothers continue to dominate the FM charts throughout Southern Ontario, South Dakota and Western Australia with their unique brand of thrift store power ballads and songs about occupational hazards. Their latest record, Lets Express Our Motives, is full of heart melting stories told from the perspective of obscurely employed, the nation's projectionists, typesetters, bookbinders and piano tuners. The Barmitzvah Brothers stoic performances echo the most beautiful of Joni Mitchell, seen through a pair of Sesame Street cookies. |
