GREAT BIG ROCK JAM REPORT
I’d like to start off by congratulating Susan Knight on her recent
appointment as Chancellor here at Memorial University. She is the first
woman to hold that position at MUN, so that’s fairly exciting news,
particularly for those of the female persuasion.
Composer, recording artist and live performer Catherine MacLellan is currently on tour promoting her latest CD, Silhouette.
She had dates in Halifax, Fredericton and Moncton these past few days,
but alas didn’t make the extra-long leap across the ocean to us. She’ll
begin the Western leg of the tour in Winnipeg before moving on to
Saskatchewan and Alberta. I had the pleasure of seeing her perform live
at the Ottawa Folk Festival last summer and was very impressed by her
songwriting talent and professionalism.
Speaking of Ottawa folk musicians, internationally renowned folk
music icon and multiple award-winner Valdy, born in the nation’s
capital, and now based on Salt Spring Island, BC, will be taking the
stage tonight at The Pearl Company Theatre in Hamilton, ON. Tickets are
an extremely reasonable $25.
You may have missed Catherine MacLellan, but Brenley MacEachern and
Lisa MacIsaac, collectively known as Madison Violet, will be performing
in Halifax and Lunenburg, NS, next month. They are very serious
performers, as well, so don’t be surprised if they demand your
respectful attention. It’s obviously not about the money, where they
are concerned. They will be at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto next
month, too, before heading off to Europe. Their latest CD is called The Good in Goodbye, but I personally prefer No Fool for Trying.
In West Coast music news, a strangely-named Vancouver blues duo, The
Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, have started a campaign on
indiegogo.com called “Help the Blues”. The musical renegades have
teamed up with Music Maker Relief Foundation to raise funds for
impoverished musicians over the age of 55, who may or may not also
require medical treatment. The Foundation’s foremost mission is to
preserve and promote the musical traditions of the American South,
mostly notably, the blues. For more info, visit
indiegogo.com/helptheblues and musicmaker.org.
I’m Honey Girl, and I’ll be right back with more “Iron Maidens”, a
program comprised of music composed and/or recorded by women determined
to succeed in the industry alongside their male peers. Playlist
selections include male-female duos or bands comprised of both genders.
