Canada's Games January 19, 2010 Inviting the world to experience Alberta during "Canada's Games" Capitalizing on unique business and artistic opportunities Edmonton... Alberta will benefit from the international spotlight shining on Vancouver and Whistler during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games by showcasing the tourism, economy and culture of the province. “An investment in the Games is an investment in our economic future,” said Cindy Ady, Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation. “The Vancouver 2010 Games provide an unrivalled opportunity to capture the attention and imagination of people around the world. Albertans know firsthand the incredible legacy that the Olympics create. We are focused on opportunities that will make a lasting, positive impact and generate economic benefits for years to come.” Every province and territory will be represented at the Games, and Alberta’s comprehensive approach will reach a global audience of potential visitors and investors. Alberta House in downtown Vancouver across from BC Place will provide a meeting place for business and dignitaries to learn about Alberta’s economic and tourism opportunities. The plaza in front of Alberta House will be open to the public, and will showcase Alberta’s cuisine and culture. Some of the province’s most talented artists will share in the Olympic spirit, gaining valuable international exposure. Alberta musicians, dancers, sculptors and more will be featured during the Cultural Olympiad running from January 22 through to March 21, and at venues throughout the Games. “Alberta’s cultural presence in Vancouver will showcase the talents and excellence of our people,” said Lindsay Blackett, Minister of Culture and Community Spirit. “These artists, like our athletes, are great ambassadors for our province and will help to share our cultural story with the rest of the world.” Over 17 nights at Alberta Plaza alone, 40 musical acts from Alberta will be showcased during free concerts. The artists, both established and emerging, represent all genres and will help to showcase Alberta’s diversity. The concerts offer the artists exposure to new audiences and a new world of opportunity. Many of the artists are using their Olympic appearances to book additional dates in Vancouver, or to make it part of a larger Canadian tour. The Olympic spotlight will shine brightest on our province on February 17, Alberta Day. The day will feature a 30-minute performance by Alberta artists Allez Ouest, Cadence Weapon, DJ Jay Mak and Raghav prior to the medal ceremonies at BC Place, and a concert by Paul Brandt. Additional details about Alberta Day, Alberta Train and other Olympic programs will be announced in the coming weeks. -30- Backgrounders: Highlights of Alberta’s Olympic program and Alberta artists take to the stage in Vancouver.

January 19, 2010 Highlights of Alberta’s Olympic program Alberta House and Alberta Plaza These venues are located on the corner of Robson and Beatty Streets just steps from BC Place, the site of the opening and closing ceremonies for the Games, as well as daily medal presentations. Both the Plaza and House will feature information about living, working, investing and visiting Alberta. Both venues will also offer an Alberta-themed menu created by chef Brad Smoliak. Smoliak was co-founder and co-chef at the Hardware Grill in Edmonton. He has cooked for a wide range of clientele, including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Alberta House is available for booking by Alberta businesses interested in holding meetings and client receptions on a cost-recovery basis. Alberta Plaza will be open to the public for free performances by Alberta musicians and artists and food and beverage sales of Alberta cuisine. Alberta Train The Alberta Train will be a highly-visible moving billboard between Whistler and North Vancouver on a daily basis throughout the Vancouver 2010 Games. For three hours each way guests, corporate clients, travel media and tour operators will learn more about doing business in Alberta. Alberta businesses can take advantage of these corporate meeting and hosting opportunities on a cost- recovery basis. The final design of the train will be unveiled early in February. Alberta Food and Beverage at the Olympics Alberta has a diverse agriculture and food industry. &nbspAlberta is well known for high quality, flavourful Alberta beef, which will be showcased along with a number of other food products that the province grows and manufactures. Over 20 Alberta companies will supply product for Alberta House and Alberta Train. &nbspThese products and companies represent the diversity of the province’s agriculture and food industry in both product selection and company size. &nbspThere are small farms supplying berries, medium-sized companies supplying soup and chili, and large manufacturers supplying protein for the venues. Because Alberta is such a large province, from the Canadian Shield in the north to southern desert, we have many different growing regions and have a diverse product line. &nbspThe menu developed for Alberta Train and Alberta House represents the different growing regions of Alberta: The Peace Country, Central Alberta and Southern Alberta. &nbspThe focus of the menu is on Healthy Alberta Comfort Cooking, showcasing traditional Alberta dishes like Cowboy Trail Chili and Prairie Chowder, and of course delicious dishes featuring Alberta beef, pork, bison and lamb. Alberta’s leading role in food safety contributes to the high quality of safe food that will meet growing consumer demands for safe, healthy, sustainable food production. -30- Media inquiries may be directed to: Dan Huang Communications Tourism, Parks and Recreation 780-427-1828 To call toll free within Alberta dial 310-0000.

    SINGING QUEER: ARCHIVING AND CONSTRUCTING A LINEAGE THROUGH SONG by Katharine A. Cherry-Reid B.A., The University of Guelph, 1997 B.Ed., The University of British Columbia, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2015 © Katharine A. Cherry-Reid, 2015 Abstract Using an arts-based approach, this research examines how songs written by queer and lesbian musicians can account for and archive queer lived existence while constructing a musical genealogy for listeners and artists alike. By examining my own experience of listening to and attending performances of certain queer and lesbian identified musicians, and then composing and performing my own songs in public spaces, I make a case for the corporeal mobility of songs, and a process I have termed “queer musical lineaging.” Much of the research around music to date has centred on how it impacts and influences brain activity, and how it brings together subcultures and publics. The significance of this project lies in the research around musical processes and practices (listening, composing, performing) as corporeal acts that connect bodies to one another, and build kinships. This research draws mainly upon primary sources of autoethnographic, written accounts in the form of journal entries, stories, poems and song lyrics, and conducts an interpretive analysis of six “queer” songs, five composed by the author of this thesis, and one composed in collaboration with a trans* youth. This project will contribute to research on arts-based practices as archival work, as well as the impact that songs have on people’s lives by broadening our understanding of music’s corporeal effects and genealogical role in lived experience.

    ‘BEFORE GOOGLE AND THE INTERNET... THERE WAS DAVID BIEBER.’ - CARTER ALAN, DJ/Music Director/author David Bieber amidst a few of his many artifacts at the Verb Hotel. Save The Stuff You Love! is the de facto mantra of the David Bieber Archives. And that’s what David Bieber has been doing his whole life. Now, after 35 years in cold storage, the always-growing collection, a vast stockpile of media, music, film and pop culture artifacts, is finally seeing the light of day. The Archives has the goods, preserving more than 1,000,000 pieces of memorabilia, including: vinyl albums, 45s, CDs, cassettes, 8-tracks, reel-to-reels, videos, DVDs, comics, posters, record store and movie theatre displays, promo items, books, magazines, newspapers, fanzines, photos, press kits, autographs, political banners, artwork, toys and games, commemorative bottles and cans, instruments, TVs, stereos, radios, telephones, assorted electronics, apparel, furniture, packaging, signage, and miscellaneous ephemera. From early-20th century to present day, vintage to modern, common to ultra rare, there’s nothing quite like it. As David puts it, the collection is meant to represent “a cultural moment that actually existed in time, and for the most part was discarded. It tells the story of what has happened.” ‘David’s collection is a testament to the fact that the passage of time renders extraordinary value to ordinary things.’ - BETTY FULTON, International Antiquarian Book Fair It took twelve tractor trailer trucks to bring the David Bieber Archives to its current location at the Norwood Space Center, a converted mill complex situated between Boston and Providence.

Our show starts in the 1940s, but broadcast music in America actually dates to the 1920s… The 1920s – early 1950s The Golden Age of Radio The Golden Age of Radio was the era of radio as the dominant electronic home entertainment medium. People regularly tuned in to their favorite radio programs and families gathered each evening to listen to the home radio. In 1947, 82 of 100 Americans considered themselves radio listeners. New entertainment formats and genres were created for this new medium, many later migrating to television. Radio plays, mystery serials, soap operas, quiz shows, talent shows, daytime and evening variety hours, situation comedies, play-by-play sports, children's shows, cooking shows, and more. Disc Jockey was a term coined in 1935 by Walter Winchell to describe radio personalities dedicated to playing popular music on their shows. Pop’s Top 40 songs, as ranked by Billboard Magazine was born in 1936, based on entirely on record sales. The 1950s The Birth of Rock and Roll Rock & Roll was born in the 50s from a fusion of electric blues, country, and gospel music. Early in the decade, rock crossed over from Rhythm & Blues to the Pop charts.

The goal of FACTOR 2.0 was simple: design a system and programs that award funding based on merit, are transparent and easy to use, and reflect the current business models of the Canadian independent music industry. This type of change was long overdue, as FACTOR’s previous funding model was based heavily on out-of-date business practices, which focused primarily on the physical sale of recorded music.

  • Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto's Transnational Re
    King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 by John Jason Collins Wilson A dissertation Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © John Jason Collins Wilson, May 2013 ABSTRACT King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 John Jason Collins Wilson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Doctor Catharine Wilson Reggae music facilitated a cultural dialogue between Jamaican migrant and Canadian host in Toronto during the 1970s and 1980s. Exchanges flowed across the city’s ethnic frontier, bridging black and white youth together in an ‘oppositional’ and musical movement. While migrants enacted their Jamaican ethnicity in places where reggae was played, many non-Jamaicans satisfied a curiosity in the music of their migrant friends. This study examines the process of migration of people and music as seen from both the migrant and the host’s perspective. It is as much about black Jamaicans as it is about white Torontonians. Twenty Jamaicans and twenty non-Jamaicans were interviewed for this project. Though reggae became an expected part of Toronto’s musical vernacular, the Canadian version meant different things to different people. Indeed, sometimes the only thread that tied the varied experiences together was that Toronto was the place where reggae happened. Still, as a hybrid, reggae had rather evolved outside of place. It was a transnational musical form, constantly updated by influences traversing the ‘Black Atlantic’ in an on-going and triangular musical conversation.
