Company Jump:
Company Jump is a comedic musical theatre show that highlights the life and music of the most famous all female trio in history. The Andrews Sisters kept allied forces entertained throughout WWII. Even today, their music and its upbeat, hopeful air serves not only as a nostalgic reminder of so-called simpler times, but also as a poignant hallmark as world events find us again pining for more peaceful days.

Crash Test Dummies CANCELLED
"There is no mistaking Brad Roberts' voice. He may look like an average guy, now in his mid- 40s, but then he opens his mouth and his majestic baritone voice immediately conjures fond memories of such Crash Test Dummies hits at "Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm" and "Superman." Perhaps best remembered for the acerbic folk rock sound of 1991's The Ghosts That Haunt Me and 1993's God Shuffled His Feet, there have nonetheless been enough hits for the band over the years to merit a couple of greatest hits packages. Through it all, the band with Roberts at the helm has touched on funk and soul, folk, electronic music and even Christmas tunes. "

14 December 2011
Doc Walker SOLD OUT
"Labeled ‘the hardest working country band in Canada,’ Doc Walker was nominated for four 2011 CCMA Awards including Fans’ Choice, Group or Duo of the Year, CMT Video of the Year for “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me” and Country Music Program or Special of the Year for their 2010 DVD “Doc Walker’s Dock Party.” Hot off the heels of their four 2011 CCMA Award nominations, Doc Walker announced their brand new studio album, ’16 & 1′ that showcases the trio’s fusion of classic country, rock and soul.

23 January 2012
Harry Manx
"“Mysticssippi” blues man Harry Manx has been called an “essential link” between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. He has created a unique sound that is hard to forget and deliciously addictive to listen to. Harry forged this distinctive style by studying at the feet of the masters, first as a sound man in the blues clubs of Toronto during his formative years and then under a rigorous five-year tutelage with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt in India. Bhatt is the inventor of the 20-stringed Mohan Veena, which has become Harry’s signature instrument."
