SUMMARY:The Irish Rovers in Concert
DESCRIPTION:THE IRISH ROVERS \nNominated for Canadian Folk Music Awards 2023 SINGLE OF THE YEAR \nThe Legendary Rovers Perform on Tour \nGeorge Millar and Ian Millar\, lead singers of The Irish Rovers. George\, an Irish Rover all his life\, wrote the song\, “Hey Boys Sing Us A Song” as a response to the Covid years\, and includes the refrain “We all need some happiness back in our lives!” The song is nominated Canadian Folk Music Awards\, SINGLE OF THE YEAR. \nOn their 60th Anniversary\, ‘Dinosaurs’ of the Canadian Music scene are up for a 2023 Canadian Folk Music Award and now on their sold out NO END IN SIGHT Tour Canadian music veterans\, The Irish Rovers continue to entertain and gain generations of fans\, into their 60th year\, with their upcoming (nearly sold out) tour (30 concerts). Last year the legendary band hit Spotify’s VIRAL TOP 50 in both the US and UK/ Ireland\, and recorded a new album\, No End In Sight. They have included their original 1977 version of “The Wellerman” on the new album (with an updated ending). \nThe No End In Sight album includes a new anthem for our time\, Hey Boys Sing Us A Song – nominated SINGLE OF THE YEAR in the 2023 Canadian Folk Music Awards. The song\, written by Rovers leader and co-founder\, George Millar was inspired by the last few years of frustrations and includes the welcome refrain\, “We all need some happiness back in our lives!” \nVideo\, Hey Boys Sing Us A Song: https://youtu.be/vHH5-W3-FTA \nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/4LZu5lzxBwfi6BpNdZ2TsE Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/hey-boys-sing-us-a-song/1600027792 \nNOTE: The Rovers refer to themselves and other music veterans as Dinosaurs on the last song of their new “No End in Sight” album. A tribute to the old crusty musicians who have paid their dues and are still going strong today in an environment that is hostile to their survival. https://open.spotify.com/track/7KPGaVjsXEsmqSF7GrMHTR?si=f716486ed2d3449d \nFans should fasten their seatbelts for a rollicking night of the hits\, Rovers latest\, and hilarious stories from decades of Rovin.’ On stage in 2023 will be George Millar\, Ian Millar\, Davey Walker (keyboards)\, Gerry O’Connor (fiddle)\, Geoffrey Kelly (flute/whistle)\, Fred Graham (bodhran)\, and joining the Rovers for the first time will be virtuosos Shane Farrell on banjo\, Jimmy Keane on accordion and Kevin Evans from Evans and Doherty. Some may remember Kevin from his days singing with the Clancy Brothers. \nCanada has been home to the Irish Rovers since its inception in the early 60s. Millar says\, “It’s been a bit odd\, being from both Ireland and Canada. The fans have found it confusing as well.” This lead to the song “Band Without A Country” from the Rovers’ 2020 album “Saints And Sinners”. The song and video tells their story from Ireland to Toronto and beyond\, VIDEO: https://youtu.be/ly4ubkByY7k \n1968 – 2023 a few of their honours … \n1968 Winner\, RPM Gold Leaf Award (predecessor to JUNOS)\, “Folk Group of the Year” \n1968 Nomination GRAMMY Award\, “Folk Performance of the Year”. \n1971 Winner ACTRA Award for Best Variety Performance \n1971 Winner RPM Gold Leaf Award\, Outstanding Record Sales \n1975 Nomination JUNO Award\, Best Album Cover\, “Emigrate! Emigrate!” \n1979 Winner PROCAN Harold Moon Award for International Achievement for TV \n1981 Nomination JUNO Award\, Single of the Year\, “Wasn’t That A Party” \n1981 Nomination JUNO Award\, Folk Artist of the Year \n1982 Nomination JUNO Award\, Group of the Year \n1982 Nomination JUNO Award\, Country Group of the Year \n1982 Nomination JUNO Award\, Folk Artist of the Year \n1983 Nomination JUNO Award\, Country Group of the Year \n2010 Winner\, VIMA Award\, SOCAN Song of the Year\, “Gracehill Fair” \n2023 Nomination Canadian Folk Music Awards\, Single of the Year\, “Hey Boys Sing Us A Song” \nBC ENTERTAINMENT HALL OF FAME: The Rovers were contracted for 7 half hour shows but the phenomenal ratings made them overnight household names and they continued with Ken Gibson producing several series and 11 Specials taped in studios\, on location across Canada and in Ireland\, the UK and New Zealand for the next 18 years\, picking up a Nellie (Genie) Award and beating Hockey Night in Canada’s ratings along the way. \nIn 1967\, The Irish Rovers released a breakout hit with their second album\, The Unicorn. That album and ‘lucky little ditty’ of a title track written by Shel Silverstein\, took them from folk clubs of America to concert halls and television sets worldwide. The band returned to the charts 15 more times\, nevertheless\, the magic of The Unicorn remained. To pay appropriate tribute on its Gold Anniversary in 2017\, the Rovers released “The Unicorn\, The Continuing Story” with new recordings of the original Unicorn album\, plus the sequel to The Unicorn song\, which gave us the answer to an age old question: What happened to the Unicorns when the ark left them stranded on the shore?” VIDEO: https://youtu.be/jB3MKGCRfRA \nIn the 70’s\, the Rovers were the first Irish band to play the Grand Ole Opry\, and in ’71 they began hosting one of their three international television series\, ‘The Irish Rovers show’ for CBC. The show ran seven seasons and won the ACTRA Award for best Variety Performance. During the 80’s there were two more international series\, ‘The Rovers Comedy House’ and ‘Party With The Rovers’ which ran for another seven years and likely the only show to beat Hockey Night in Canada in the ratings! During this time they became so much a part of the Canadian culture that PM Pierre Elliott Trudeau asked them to become Canadian citizens so they could represent Canada around the world. They accepted the honour\, became citizens\, and subsequently represented Canada at five World Expos. \nSince 2010 the band has returned to the small screen with three international television specials\, The Irish Rovers 50th Anniversary\, The Irish Rovers Christmas and The Irish Rovers Home In Ireland which took us back to the same spots back home they visited in the early years of the CBC series. The Rovers continue to sell out concert halls worldwide with their music climbing the charts on Spotify and going viral on YouTube\, subsequently gaining them another few generations of followers. \nOver the years\, Ireland has felt the impact of The Irish Rovers’ long career of bringing Ireland and Irish music to the rest of the world. Recently\, the Rovers were honoured in both Ballymena N. Ireland and Dublin Ireland for all they have done over the years for the music industry and promoting Ireland across North America and beyond. Dublin’s EPIC Museum Director Mervyn Greene refers to The Irish Rovers as ‘one of Ireland’s greatest émigrés’. \nOriginal Irish Rovers\, Will Millar\, Wilcil McDowell are retired from the band\, but George Millar still fronts the band he founded in 1963 with his best pal\, the late Jimmy Ferguson.

SUMMARY:Sam Tudor a& Pallmer at the Saint John Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Fredericton’s Pallmer is embarking on a Maritime tour supporting Toronto/Vancouver artist Sam Tudor.  Sam Tudor is an individual\, but also the title of a project involving a large group of friends across Canada. The underpinnings of the songs are genre-less; jazz players join forces with acoustic guitars and gentle synths. What unifies the project is Tudor’s distinct voice: a sandy\, melancholic narrator\, leaning in with confessional and cathartic writing. The Georgia Straight calls the band “a gem\, with a penchant for genuine emotion\, intimacy and everything left field”. \nThis tour will close out two years of tours and shows supporting Pallmer’s debut album “Swimming.”  Nodding to next steps\, the shows will feature sneak peeks into new songs from a forthcoming release. \n\nSaint John Arts Centre – 20 Peel Plaza\, Saint John\, NB E2L 3G67:00PM Doors7:30PM Showtime\n$12 in advance | $15 at the door | pay what you can\n\nFB Link: https://www.facebook.com/share/1J251LEWSX/

SUMMARY:The Imperial Theatre presents The Crow’s Theatre production of As You Like It\, or The Land Acknowledgement By Cliff Cardinal
DESCRIPTION:The title of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It holds a double meaning that teasingly suggests this is a play to please all tastes. Is that possible? \nCalled “sly\, funny\, and charming” by the Toronto Star\, As You Like It Or The Land Acknowledgement by cultural provocateur Cliff Cardinal\, is a devastating yet laugh-out-loud examination of land acknowledgements as cultural and political practice. A timeless tale of mistaken identities\, banishment\, and forgiveness takes on an entirely new meaning in this subversive update of the Bard’s classic. Cardinal’s Cree and Lakota heritage deeply inform his take on the play\, which is acerbic\, mischievous\, and fearlessly deals with difficult subject matter. \n“The Canadian arts surprise of the year” (The Globe and Mai)\, William Shakespeare’s As You Like It\, A Radical Retelling by Cliff Cardinal was the recipient the prestigious Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama and was shortlisted for the Ontario Trillium Book Award. \n“One thing’s certain: this As You Like It is unlike any other production of the play\, past or future.” NOW Magazine \nAges 14+ \nCliff Cardinal – Creator and Writer\nNamed by The Globe and Mail as a Canadian Cultural Icon in 2022\, Cliff Cardinal is a polarizing writer and performer known for his black humour and compassionate poeticism. His AS YOU LIKE IT\, A RADICAL RETELLING has been performed across Canada\, was shortlisted for the Ontario Trillium Book Award\, and was the recipient of the prestigious Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama. Other solo theatre productions including Stitch\, Huff\, Cliff Cardinal’s CBC Special\, and (Everyone I Love Has) A Terrible Fate (Befall Them) have toured across Canada and won numerous awards. He is an associate artist at VideoCabaret where he develops his new work. Born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation\, he studied\nplaywriting at the National Theatre School of Canada and fronts the hilarious and nefarious Cliff Cardinal and The Skylarks. \nCardinal’s first multi-character play\, Too Good To Be True\, opened VideoCabaret’s 2019 season at The Busy Street Theatre in Toronto with Cardinal himself directing. A workshop version of the script debuted at Summerworks ’13\, where NOW Magazine said\, “This captivating tale of an off-grid mother and her desperate children solidifies Cardinal as one of the most talented and intriguing writers in the country.” Prior to premiering AS YOU LIKE IT\, A RADICAL RETELLING\, Cardinal was best known for his one-man play Huff\, which he has performed over 200 times. This harrowing yet hilarious show about youth who abuse solvent\, at high risk of suicide won the Buddies in Bad Times’ Vanguard Award for Risk and Innovation\, two Dora Mavor Moore Awards (Outstanding Performance\, Outstanding New Play)\, RBC’s Emerging Playwright Award\, The Lustrum Award (which recognizes the greatest moments at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival) and was shortlisted for Amnesty International’s Freedom of Expression Award. The production garnered a five-star review in The\nGuardian Observer titled “a hard-hitting tour de force.” Huff has been published\, translated into French\, continues to tour\, and was released as a podcast by the CBC. \nCliff Cardinal’s CBC Special\, a songwriter/storyteller performance\, toured festivals in Ottawa\, Calgary\, St. Catharines\, through Canada’s North starting in Yellowknife with a stint at Theatre Kingston and won the Jon Kaplan Spotlight Award for the top performance at Toronto’s SummerWorks Festival. Cliff Cardinal and The Skylarks’ first recording\, This is Not a Mistake was released in 2016 and their follow up Gonna Be Fine was released in 2020\, both are available online. The band’s third album Suicidal Valentine is out on Merlainen Music. The title track has risen to number six on the Indigenous Music Countdown. \nChris Abraham – Co-Conspirator\, Crow’s Theatre Artistic Director\nCrow’s Theatre Artistic and General Director\, Chris Abraham has been the driving force of Crow’s since the 2008.09 season.

DESCRIPTION:Maryna KRUT (pronounced “kroot”) is a Ukrainian singer and virtuoso of the bandura\, a stringed instrument unique to Ukraine that looks and sounds like a hybrid of lute and harp. At 28\, KRUT is an assured performing artist; her compelling\, soulful performances evoke both folk traditions and modern sensibilities\, with pop and jazz flourishes. A Eurovision finalist\, she often represents Ukraine at official events and performs for soldiers in the current war zone\, and she has appeared at the Edinburgh International Culture Summit\, Andalucia Big Festival\, Montreal Ukrainian Festival\, and on other international stages. \nKRUT (pronounced “kroot”) is a Ukrainian singer and virtuoso of the bandura\, a stringed instrument unique to Ukraine that looks and sounds like a hybrid of lute and harp. At 28\, KRUT is an assured performing artist; her compelling\, soulful performances evoke both folk traditions and modern sensibilities\, with pop and jazz flourishes. A Eurovision finalist\, she often represents Ukraine at official events and performs for soldiers in the current war zone\, and she has appeared at the Edinburgh International Culture Summit\, Andalucia Big Festival\, Montreal Ukrainian Festival\, and on other international stages. \nThe bandura’s harpsichord-like sound is both delicate and assertive. KRUT’s instrument has an astonishing 64 strings stretched over a single piece of wood\, with 13 bass strings stretched along a short\, fretless neck\, and the remaining treble strings stretched across a large soundboard. She plays the bass set with her left hand\, while the right plays across the prodigious treble array. In addition to being a masterful instrumentalist\, KRUT’s striking\, powerful voice soars in an acoustic setting\, whether with a string quartet or solo. \nEarly bandurists were male balladeers who travelled from village to village; early in her career\, says KRUT\, “I dyed my hair pink\, painted my nails black\, wore leather jackets and started to play the bandura in a more modern\, jazzy and funky way” (Vogue Australia). Now she’s stretching her style back toward the bandura’s folk roots. “[Her music] represents the DNA of Ukrainian culture\, in all its styles\, classic and very modern” (Ouest France).

SUMMARY:PatterDad
DESCRIPTION:Canadian comedy veteran Steve Patterson is… \nPatterDad! \nMany Canadians recognize the name Steve Patterson. He’s been a crowd favorite since his first Just for Laughs Gala appearance back in 2004 and as host of the long-running hit show\nThe Debaters on CBC since 2007. But what they may not know is how Patterson’s perceptions have shifted since he became a dad to two precocious daughters. Those new perceptions are on grand display in his new show which picks up on the themes introduced in his popular book published by Penguin Random House Canada in 2021 “Dad Up!” From being outsmarted to being outrun to being outnumbered (current household rankings have him clinging to 6th place in importance behind his wife\, his daughters\, their dog\, and whichever stuffed animal is most essential in any given week)\, Steve struggles to come to terms with the responsibilities of being a dad. But fortunately for audiences\, his struggles are pure comedic delight. Come join this iconic Canadian comedian on a 90-minute fun ride that will warm your heart\, rekindle memories\, and maybe most importantly\, will get you out of the house and laughing with strangers. Which\, really\, is the best gift families can give to each other. \nSteve Patterson is an award-winning stand-up comedian with over 25 years of international performance experience. As host of the long-running hit radio show and podcast The Debaters and theatre show The Debaters Live\, Patterson’s brand of comedy is best described as honest and erudite combining well-crafted writing with unparalleled off-the-cuff wit. Twice named Canada’s Best Male Stand-Up at the Canadian Comedy Awards\, Patterson is known for masterfully keeping the audience engaged with heartfelt stories\, concisely constructed letters\, and\noriginal songs. In short\, Patterson packs much more than punchlines into his show. \nA household name in Canadian comedy through his long-time radio hosting and numerous televised gala appearances\, Steve served as anchor for the “If It Makes You Happy” Gala at\nthe Winnipeg Comedy Festival in 2022 which debuted on CBC and across various media platforms in 2023. He has also taken his award-winning humour to the literary world with The\nBook of Letters I Didn’t Know Where to Send and his newest release Dad Up! are available wherever books and audiobooks are sold.

Finally\, a MAGIC SHOW WITH LIVE MUSIC! Chris has pioneered the use of instruments like the violin\, guitar\, sax and more into his illusions. His parents wanted him to be a musician\, but he wanted to be a magician. Chris tells his story on how he integrated his love for music and magic in a show unlike any other. Whether it’s a violin concerto to a magical dancing sheet of music to impossibly suspending various instruments on stage\, his show is in a league of its own. The live-feed camera and interactive videos bring audiences up onstage and into the action\, delivering a show that family audiences can call their own. \nFrom NBC’s America’s Got Talent\, CW’s Penn & Teller: Fool Us & Masters of Illusion\, FOX’s Hell’s Kitchen and Syfy’s Wizard Wars\, his unique approach to magic has garnered him performances at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood\, Mandalay Bay\, Rio\, and Tropicana casinos as well as residencies at Disney. In addition to his own touring\, Chris has starred in major touring magic productions Masters of Illusion LIVE. Chris’ show has garnered standing ovations and a reputation for excellence. \nAMERICA’S GOT TALENT – SIMON COWELL: “BEST MAGICIAN we’ve had on the show so far! I’ve NEVER seen anything like that!” \nDISNEY: “Absolutely FANTASTIC!” \nCBC: “HEAD-SCRATCHING MAGIC!” \nPENN & TELLER: “There’s a WILDNESS and beauty to Chris Funk’s daft and funny presence that we – and the audiences we’ve seen him with – find IRRESISTIBLE.” PENN & TELLER
