SUMMARY:Crash Test Dummies
DESCRIPTION:It’s been 30 years since the Crash Test Dummies recorded their debut album\, ”The Ghosts That Haunt Me”. Their first album garnered them their first big hit\, Superman’s Song\, and a Juno Award for Group of the Year. Over three decades later\, their sold out 25th Anniversary Tour for multi-Grammy nominated “God Shuffled His Feet” is proof that audiences still want to hear what they have to say. \n“We have been so excited with the response to the 25th anniversary tour that we knew we had to continue the party and celebrate 30 years since we made our first album. We had no idea that fans would be so enthusiastic and we are all a little gob-smacked that we can still play sold out shows to our fans and\, awesomely enough\, their kids\,” says original member Ellen Reid. \nTheir 2022 tour will see them tour North America and Europe\, where fans have been anxiously waiting. The shows will include hits and fan favourites from the band’s vast catalogue. Original members Brad Roberts\, Ellen Reid\, Dan Roberts\, and Mitch Dorge will be joined onstage by Stuart Cameron and Marc Arnould. \n“After a long absence from the road\, Crash Test Dummies have begun to tour again. Not something I’d planned on\, but surprisingly\, at least to me\, there are lots of people who\, years later\, still want to come and hear us. That people continue to return to see the band all these years later still stuns me. It’s very humbling. The folks that come out to these shows tell us their stories and there are many gems: many are very funny\, some are very dark\, and all are very personal. It’s very humbling\, being in the confidence of so many people\,” says lead singer/songwriter Brad Roberts.

SUMMARY:Jeremy Dutcher
DESCRIPTION:Performer\, composer\, activist\, musicologist — these roles are all infused into his art and way of life. His music\, too\, transcends boundaries: unapologetically playful in its incorporation of classical influences\, full of reverence for the traditional songs of his home\,and teeming with the urgency of modern-day struggles of resistance. \nA member of Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick\, Jeremy first did music studies in Halifax before taking a chance to work in the archives at the Canadian Museum of History\, painstakingly transcribing Wolastoq songs from 1907 wax cylinders. “Many of the songs I’d never heard before\, because our musical tradition on the East Coast was suppressed by the Canadian Government’s Indian Act.” Jeremy heard ancestral voices singing forgotten songs and stories that had been taken from the Wolastoqiyik generations ago. \nAs he listened to each recording\, he felt his own musical impulses stirring from deep within. Long days at the archives turned into long nights at the piano\, feeling out melodies and phrases\, deep in dialogue with the voices of his ancestors. These “collaborative”compositions\, collected together on his debut LP Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa\, are like nothing you’ve ever heard. Delicate\, sublime vocal melodies ring out atop piano lines that cascade through a vibrant range of emotions. The anguish and joy of the past erupt fervently into the present through Jeremy’s bold approach to composition and raw\, affective performances enhanced by his outstanding tenor techniques. \n“I’m doing this work because there’s only about a hundred Wolastoqey speakers left\,” he says. “It’s crucial for us to make sure that we’re using our language and passing it on to the next generation. If you lose the language\, you’re not just losing words; you’re losing an entire way of seeing and experiencing the world from a distinctly indigenous perspective.”
