This crossposting is confusing the heck out of me. :) Anyway, the Free Times show rocked. I went 'cause I'd been hearing about Jess so much :) [hi] and she was really good -- didn't seem nervous at *all* -- but i was incredibly happy to see two other (or three, actually) amazing musicians. I think Julian pointed out it's nice to see some more male talent, and I really liked Dylan's set. Yeah! :) I'm not much of a fan of Tory's myself. Alas, we can't forget Mr. Kevin Fox, ubiquitous cellist extrordinaire. I caught him solo once, opening for Sarah and playing guitar, and he was good. I got to chat with Dylan and Bev after the show for a bit, and they were quite friendly. And Rayanne. Very cool. I don't know about the Dayna Manning angle -- I haven't listened to her all that much -- but she definitely reminds me of Jewel. I don't mean just because she's blond and plays guitar :) -- her voice really reminded of the way Jewel sings. I don't like the word, but "flexible" is perhaps the best way to describe it. She's 17? Woah. >>also called Sarah Slean out >>to accompany her with the song, possibly the highlight of the show, >I hope this happens again!

They said tickets are $6 in advance, $10 at the door, doors open at 8, show at 10. Why can't information on shows ever be consistent? Argh. And to complicate matters, Pollstar lists Roach Motel as playing at the Circus room friday, Sarah Saturday, but no mention of Emm. Oy! Finally, Holy Joe's, December 1, blah blah blah. Be there.

I'm on the Roaches mailing list and didn't see the Circus gig. Just to add to the over all confusion. But they did say when I called, Emm Friday, Sarah Saturday. I might have to slip over there tonight and pick up tickets for Fri/Sat. James. P.S. Go see Roach Motel if they come to an area near you.

Entitled "A Concert to Remember", the show will be loosely focused on a fitting theme for late November: remembrance. Song Cycles, formed in 1993, is a group of about 30 cyclists who sing (on- and off-bike) about all things that could very broadly be considered "bike-related." Under the musical direction of Greg Furlong, their repertoire ranges from traditional and folk tunes to Handel and Purcell to Oscar Peterson. They especially enjoy performing work by such social commentators as Pete Seeger, Hans Eisler and Tom Lehrer. They also sing many original arrangements and compositions. Song Cycles has made numerous appearances on TV and radio, and at special events like the City of Toronto's Bike Week, the Ride for Heart, First Night, Art Naturally in Scarborough, the Kensington Festival of Lights and the Canadian Opera Company's Operamania. They have performed in Montreal, at Ottawa's Winterlude and at Belleville's Two Weeks in May arts festival. Their most recent full public concert was performed last March 21 at Trinity-St. Paul's Centre, and explored the history of "protest" songs. ------------------------------ End of canadian-music-digest V1 #137 ************************************
