  • LIVERPOOL of the NORTH”: the STORY of OTTAWA, CANADA’S MUSIC, 1960’S–TODAY
    “LIVERPOOL OF THE NORTH”: THE STORY OF OTTAWA, CANADA’s MUSIC, 1960’s–TODAY. EXCERPTS FROM ALAN CHRISMAN’S BOOK: “IT’S A LONG WAY HOME” Ottawa had quite the music scene in the 60’s. Part of this was because Canada and Ottawa had more direct connections to England than the U.S., so they knew about The Beatles before the rest of North America. And their 60’s bands, were very adept at re-creating that British pop sound. In fact, Richie Patterson, a mainstay and drummer in many of its bands, called Ottawa the “Liverpool of The North”. Ritchie went to Fisher Park school with Paul Anka, backing him up in the Bobbysoxers. Anka was one of the first to make it out of Ottawa and become a teen sensation with “Diana” and “Puppy Love” in the 50’s, before moving to Vegas and writing “My Way” for Frank Sinatra. Richie’s “The Esquires” were first influenced by Cliff Richard and the Shadows right before The Beatles took over. Scores of Ottawa bands formed and recorded songs and some albums. There were several places to play like the Auditorium, Pineland and clubs like the Chaudiere across the river in in Hull, Quebec and several church basements. And hundreds of kids would attend. Ottawa even had its own version of American Bandstand, Saturday Date, hosted by Peter Jennings who would go to ABC News in New York. The best of these got recording contracts like The Staccato’s (who later became The Five Man Electrical Band) when they moved to California with their international hits “ Signs” ( ‘Signs Signs ,everywhere, telling me what to do’) and The Cooper Bros.

  • Eric Bibb / Milteau
    SERVICE EDUCATIF ERIC BIBB MILTEAU MCA / Accompagnement pédagogique du spectacle Pour moi, la musique blanche ou la musique noire, ça n'existe pas. Quand on met les notes sur le papier, qu'est-ce qu'on a ? On a du noir et on a du blanc. Ensemble, Noirs et Blancs font la musique la plus formidable que le monde ait jamais connu, et ça s'appelle le blues. Le blues est né noir, mais il ne l'est plus. Le blues appartient au monde entier ! La musique de blues, aujourd'hui, fait partie de tous. Elle fait partie de votre âme. Quand vous réussissez à comprendre ce que c'est vraiment que cette musique, elle s'insinue au plus profond de vous, si vous avez quelque chose dans le ventre. Ce que nous appelons le blues, ce sont les racines, le fondement de tout le reste de la musique. Rufus Thomas 1 Service éducatif MCA /Delphine Petit et Jean Courtin / Concert Eric BIBB et J.J MILTEAU / Octobre 2016 Eric BIBB et J.J MILTEAU Grand Théâtre mercredi 12 octobre / 20h30 Durée : 1h30 Le guitariste chanteur Eric Bibb et l’harmoniciste Jean-Jacques Milteau rendent hommage à Lead Belly, pionnier du blues et de la musique afro-américaine. Lead Belly naît en 1889 dans le Sud ségrégationniste. Le jeune garçon partage d’abord les chants et le labeur des ramasseurs de coton avant d’apprendre l’accordéon et la guitare. Hélas, la promesse d’une belle carrière est brisée par de longs séjours en prison. Cependant, la rencontre avec deux ethnomusicologues va bientôt changer sa vie.

The recently assembled collaboration taps a deep pool of performing experience, vocal abilities and song writing talent featuring some of the province’s busiest and most accomplished blues and roots musicians. Dan Tapanila, Mark Sadlier Brown, Tim Williams, Cedric Blary, Suitcase James and John Rutherford form a rag-tag team of musical sharp shooters set on having a ball. Saturday, Sept 29/07 - JOHN MANN - Mister Mann is the solo project of Spirit of the West’s front man and songwriter John Mann. After 11 albums and countless tours of the UK, Europe and North America with Spirit, December Looms is a return to Mann’s stripped down Alt Folk roots. Mann pens beautiful melodies with emotionally honest lyrics that capture the intimate moments of his hometown of Vancouver, its occupants, the fragile details of their dysfunctional love and the loss of a city’s innocence.

  • On Stage (Extra): a 'Curious' Case of Broadway-Style Entertainment
    On Stage (Extra): A ‘Curious’ case of Broadway-style entertainment Feb 25th, 2017 · 0 Comment By Denny Dyroff, Staff Writer, The Times The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Theater fans from this area have been very fortunate this month – mainly because of the offerings from the Kimmel Center’s “Broadway Philadelphia” series at the Academy of Music (Broad and Locust streets, Philadelphia, 215-731-3333, www.kimmelcenter.org). Instead of being presented for the umpteenth time with tried-and-true musicals such as “Annie,” “Sound of Music” or “Rent,” fans are being treated to two hit shows that are fresh off Broadway and making their Philadelphia debuts. “The Bodyguard” is running through February 26. Then, from February 28-March 5, the Academy of Music is hosting “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.” Hailed as “One of the most fully immersive works ever to wallop Broadway” by The New York Times, this adaptation is the Tony Award®-winning new play by Simon Stephens, adapted from Mark Haddon’s best- selling novel and directed by Tony winner Marianne Elliott. Winner of the 2015 Tony Award for Best New Play, the acclaimed National Theatre production of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” is now on its first North American tour. Two-time Tony Award winner Marianne Elliott (“War Horse”) directs this adaptation by Tony and Olivier Award winner Simon Stephens – an adaptation that brings Mark Haddon’s internationally best-selling novel to thrilling life. Christopher John Francis Boone, a 15-year-old boy with an extraordinary brain, is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life.

  • Eric Bibb (Us)
    21. bis 29. März 2020 Kurzinfo ERIC BIBB (US) ABSCHLUSSKONZERT | SO 29. März 2020 | KULTURFABRIK | 20 Uhr VVK € 33 | ZAC-VVK € 26,60 | AK € 35 Ein Konzert von Eric Bibb ist mehr als nur gute Unterhaltung. Seine Songs und seine Präsenz rühren an etwas, das im Dröhnen des popmusikalischen Alltags- geschäfts verloren gegangen ist: die spirituelle Dimension der Musik. Die Karriere des 1951 in New York geborenen Sängers und Gitarristen begann mit Sieben, als er – geprägt von der Musikalität seines Vaters Leon Bibb und seines Onkels John Lewis – zum ersten Mal eine Gitarre in die Hand nahm. Mit der Unterstützung von be- freundeten Musikern wie Bob Foto: Juhani Niiranen Dylan stand er schon mit 16 Jahren regelmäßig auf der Bühne. Die Nähe zu Dylan ist spürbar, versteht es Bibb doch auf sensible und eigenständige Art, Folk, Blues und Songwriting zusammenzubringen. Seit nunmehr fünf Dekaden veröffentlicht er ein Meisterwerk nach dem anderen. Nach „Bookers Guitar“ und „Troubadour Live” folgen wegweisende Werke wie „Bothers In Bamako“ oder „Migration Blues“. Sein neues Album „Global Griot“ nahm der bekennende Weltbürger in zwölf Studios weltweit auf, der Titel ist Programm: Musikalisch erdumspannend hat Bibb den Blues mit Elementen aus Gospel, Soul, Jazz, Reggae und verschiedenen afrikanischen Elementen gespickt. Und er wird nicht müde, die Geschichten zu erzählen, die ihm wichtig sind und denen er auf seinen Reisen rund um den Globus begegnet. Bibb begreift sich als Entertainer und Motivator, einer der angesichts der um sich greifenden Verrohung der Sprache und des Geistes Stellung bezieht und kommentiert, was heute in der Welt geschieht. Eine wichtige Stimme dieser Tage.
