SATURDAY
JANUARY 26th. 2008
THE COMPADRES!
With
OSCAR LOPEZ & JAMES KEELAGHAN
TICKETS
$25 Advance / $35 Door

The
music from Compadres ranges from fiery instrumentals to heavenly harmonies
to the highly danceable. Keelaghan and Lopez have been performing off
and on as Compadres since 1993. Their first CD together in 1997 was
a Juno nominated critics' favourite and the long overdue follow-up is
sure to continue in that tradition.

HAMS & The Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival present
The CARLOS del JUNCO Band
SATURDAY NOVEMBER 17th. 2007
Tickets $25 Advance / $30 Door
|
|
Carlos del Junco
plays the harmonica like nobody else in the world. Born in Havana, Cuba,
Carlos is a pioneer of the 10-hole diatonic harmonica. While respected
as a blues artist, the music played by harmonica maestro del Junco transcends
all categorization into sheer artistry bringing musical credibility
to what has still been considered by many, a fringe folk instrument.
His command of the harmonica is absolute – he plays with all the subtleties
and nuances of a classical violinist to the edgier sounds of a blues
rocker. Carlos fuses his respect for tradition with a fresh, innovative,
and truly modern approach. Audiences are blown away at every performance
and return for more at show after show.

over 30 years later, he is considered one of Canada’s finest interpreters
of original, contemporary folk music. Always paying homage to his roots
in Bluegrass and Country Blues, David uses these traditions to create
new songs that are both timely and timeless. His intense energy and
incisive wit have made him a favourite with audiences around the world.

EVE GOLDBERG
Imagine a kitchen party where Mother Maybelle Carter, Ella Fitzgerald,
Mississippi John Hurt, Bessie Smith, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and Patsy
Cline show up, and you begin to get a sense of what it feels like
inside songwriter Eve Goldberg's head. Never one to restrict herself
to one genre of music, Eve has performed her trademark mixture of
folk, blues, country, bluegrass, old time, and jazz in venues ranging
from small house concerts to the prestigious Kennedy Center in Washington
DC since 1990.

JANE EAMONS
Jane hails from Kelowna, BC and is fairly new to the music scene with
her first release back in 2002. Deep Water, her third and latest release,
is a blend of traditional music forms like spirituals, bluegrass,
gospel and blues with old-time melodies that work very well. Her sweet
voice, well-crafted songs, poignant and timely messages and charming
instrumentation make for a beautiful and heart-warming listen.
