A Plethora of Shows

A lot of show announcements at the West End while I was vacationing:


Dan Bern plays there on April 18th. Tickets are 18 bones in advance and are available at the WECC, TM, Music Trader, and Into the Music. My prediction: this will be one hot ticket, and I've never even heard of him!

The Bills stop by on April 11th. Tickets are 17 bones in advance at WECC and TM.

CR Avery and Mihirangi, who played the '06 Folk Festival, are there on March 13th. To quote WECC's newsletter on CR Avery: "is solo exhilarating performances incorporate spoken word poetry, beatboxing, harmonica, keytar, piano, and more acoustic guitar. Part Springsteen, part Dylan, and part Waits, he is also the author of four hip hop operas." A jack of all trades it seems. This definitely sounds intriguing. Tix are $12 in advance at WECC, TM, Music Trader, and Into the Music.

Mark April 4th on your calendar - Ex-Skydiggers Josh Finlayson and Andy Maize stop by the WECC. Apparently they don't have a website. Their loss. Tix are $15 in advance at all above locations.

Winnipeg's SubCity Dwellers release their latest cd on May 11th.

Winnipeg bluegrass band Stonypoint also launch their newest record on May 17th.

At the Albert:

Pride Tiger - whose website made me jump since I had the f'ing speaker volume too loud - are at the Albert w/ American Flameship on March 3rd. Tickets are $7.


Current rotation: The Besnard Lakes/Nathan
