DAN COOPER OF ROYAL LEPAGE presents
SUZANNEVEGA Saturday, September 20th at 8:00pm “Widely regarded as one of the most brilliant songwriters of her generation,” (Biography Magazine) Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk-music revival of the early 1980s when, accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, she sang what has been labeled contemporary folk or neo-folk songs of her own creation in Greenwich Village clubs. Since the release of her self-titled, critically acclaimed 1985 debut album, she has given sold-out concerts in many of the world’s best-known halls. In performances devoid of outward drama that nevertheless convey deep emotion, Vega sings in a distinctive, clear vibrato-less voice that has been described as “a cool, dry sandpaper-brushed, near-whisper” and as “plaintive but disarmingly powerful.” Bearing the stamp of a masterful storyteller who “observed the world with a clinically poetic eye,” Suzanne’s songs have always tended to focus on city life, ordinary people and real world subjects. Notably succinct and understated, often cerebral but also streetwise, her lyrics invite multiple interpretations. In short, Suzanne Vega’s work is immediately recognizable, as utterly distinct and thoughtful, and as creative and musical now as it was when her voice was first heard on the radio over 20 years ago. Suzanne was born in Santa Monica, CA, but grew up in Spanish Harlem and the Upper West Side of New York City. She was influenced by her mother, a computer systems analyst, and her stepfather, the Puerto Rican writer Egardo Vega
Yunque. There was a heady mix of multicultural music playing at home: Motown, bossa nova, jazz and folk. At age 11, she picked up a guitar and as a teenager she started to write songs. Suzanne’s neo-folk style has ushered in a new female, acoustic, folk-pop singer-songwriter movement that would include the likes of Tracy Chapman, Shawn Colvin, and Indigo Girls. In 1997, Suzanne joined Sarah McLachlan on her Lilith Fair tour which celebrated the female voice in rock and pop. She was one of the few artists invited back every year. Suzanne was also the host of the public radio series “American Mavericks,” thirteen hour-long programs featuring the histories and the music of the iconoclastic, contemporary classical composers who revolutionized the possibilities of new music. The show won the Peabody Award for Excellence in Broadcasting. Suzanne Vega is an artist that continues to surprise. In 2006, she became the first major recording artist to perform live in avatar form within the virtual world Second Life. She has dedicated much of her time and energy to charitable causes, notably Amnesty International, Casa Alianza, and the Save Darfur Coalition. As fascinating as the New Yorkers she has been inspired by, Suzanne Vega herself is full of stories and surprises: the everyday revelations, the grabbed-on-the-run wisdom, the strange, random, miraculous stuff that make up a singular career – or maybe just another life in the big city.

StevenWright Sunday, September 21st at 8:00pm Steven Wright – the man with the monotone – a prototype comedian that others are sure to follow. His delivery is deadpan, his manner stoic, and he’s one of the keenest observers of the human condition, if you can find him when he momentarily lapses into reality. In appearance, Wright’s lifestyle hasn’t changed much, although his career has really taken off. In a shorter time than most, he expanded his comedy collection to include an album, video, film and television appearances. His 1986 debut album I Have A Pony, earned him a Grammy nomination and nods from the music industry. He quickly followed this with several video showcases on HBO including his own special On Location: Steven Wright. He took part in the Young Comedians Special with Robin Williams, Richard Belzer, Harry Anderson and Howie Mandel. In 1989 Wright was awarded an Academy Award for writing and starring in the short film, The Appointments of Dennis Jennings. It seems obvious that comedians are the people to watch in the entertainment industry as they cross over to all mediums
with success. PBS honored comedians with a half-hour anthology series starring Steven Wright, Tim Matheson and Catherine O’Hara. Steven’s talents also grace the big screen. He appeared in the 1986 blockbuster Desperately Seeking Susan starring Madonna, Stars and Bars starring Daniel Day Lewis and Harry Dean Stanton and in Canadian Bacon, starring John Candy. After his initial appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, he was immediately asked to return one week later – a phenomenon that had not been achieved by an unknown in more than ten years. His back-to-back appearances with the king of late night television put his career into high gear. The dour comedian soon found himself performing his off-beat routines on Saturday Night Live, Late Night with David Letterman and numerous trips back to visit Johnny on The Tonight Show. Although Steven Wright’s success is now assured, the dry comedian keeps a modest outlook on his ability. As quoted in a Los Angeles Herald Examiner article, he claims, “My whole act is just a funny pack of lies.”
Regular: $82 | Big Ticket Member: $75 | Big Ticket Plus: $71 Box Office: 905.815.2021 or www.OakvilleCentre.ca “Steven Wright is not only the undisputed world champion of weird one-liners; he’s among the greatest comedians ever to walk on stage.” ~ STEVE LEBATE, Paste Magazine

The Keith Richards
One Woman Show Saturday, October 18th at 8:30pm in The Studio Theatre Mona loves The Stones. She can’t get enough of Keith Richards. EXPL She’s pretty well obsessed. She’s also not sleeping. She is going with Keith Richards to a boat in the middle of nowhere. A CONT ICIT ENT Some chain-smoking, prophesying Richards summons rollicking find th patrons m memories to show this small-town, sleep-deprived “Keith a e mater language y ial off junky,” that you can’t emulate your heroes. ensive& Inspired by his legendary image and outrageous endurance, The Keith Richards One Woman Show is a swishy-swashy Jack Daniels toast to getting by just as you are. Performed by Deanna Jones, Mona’s ‘trip’ through Keith’s life from boyhood to drug-bust (Toronto 1977) includes run-ins with Mick Jagger, Anita Pallenberg, Gram Parsons and a giant tongue. A live rock score, played by Kevin Richardson, invokes the world of the Stones and, in particular, the raw sounds of Keith. Deanna Jones and Cole Lewis first devised The Keith Richards One Woman Show in 2011. In August 2011 they ripped through the Niagara Region (like a band) testing the show out on a 5-day bar tour. The next incarnation of the show toured to bars throughout Southern Ontario, finishing with a roaring standing ovation from a sold-out crowd at El Mocambo in Toronto. Now with director Lisa Marie DiLiberto and a fresh lighting design by Andre du Toit, The Keith Richards One Woman Show is ready to rock. As they say, a rolling stone gathers no moss. “Jones’ energy and enthusiasm for the character, the music, and for Keith was admirable. Even if I was not a die-hard fan of the Rolling Stones, I certainly loved watching one.” ~ MOONEY ON THEATRE

JimCuddy Tuesday, October 28th at 8:00pm
When Jim got his first guitar at the age of ten, the first song he learned was Gordon Lightfoot’s That’s What You Get For Loving Me. Today, 25 years after the formation of Blue Rodeo, Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor are widely respected as one of Canada’s best songwriting teams. In 1998, Jim released All in Time which went on to sell gold in Canada. His next album, 2006’s The Light That Guides You Home, was released to critical acclaim and won the Juno Award for Adult Alternative Album of the Year. In 2011, Jim released Skyscraper Soul, his third solo album. His voice, always a voluptuous instrument, has never sounded better and Cuddy proves once again that his songwriting ranks with the best Canada has to offer. “When I write songs for my solo material, the songs tend to be a lot more personal than what I write for Blue Rodeo,” says Jim. “I come in here and sit down with all of these instruments and work at building the ideas until a song emerges. Once I’ve demoed the track and played it for the band, we work on fleshing it out.” Regular Ticket: $78 | Big Ticket Member: $71 | Big Ticket Plus: $67 Box Office: 905.815.2021 or www.OakvilleCentre.ca “Don’t let the The Jim Cuddy Band moniker fool you.

Inti-Illimani Wednesday, October 29th at 8:00pm Inti-Illimani has intoxicated audiences around the world. In their homeland of Chile and greater Latin America, they are a veritable institution, a cultural icon famous for their unique poetic and socio-political history. Their music, wedded in traditional Latin American roots, captures at once the very personal colours of their experiences while simultaneously appealing to the universal in us all. They have performed in over a dozen countries worldwide, bringing with them timeless themes and an inclusive spirit which unites us in our common humanity. Playing on more than 30 wind, string and percussion instruments, Inti-Illimani’s compositions are a treasure for the human spirit. Their mellifluous synthesis of instruments and vocals captures those secret places in our hearts, journeying us out of the mundane into a respite for the soul. Sacred areas, colourful carnivals, daily lives, love lost and found again, vistas, defeats and triumphs all play out in the extraordinary cultural mural that is an Inti-Illimani performance. Known for their open-minded musical approach, Inti-Illimani continues to allow for its own evolution while staying true to its musical roots. Since 2002, Inti has welcomed four new members, and so the changing of the guards, so to speak, only strengthens the Inti legacy – like always at an Inti performance, one can expect the musicians to trade instruments with staggering fluidity, perform classic songs with fresh air breathed into them, and entertain with personal anecdotes and expressions. Manuel Meriño, current musical director and member since 2001, sees Inti’s 2002 release Lugares Comunes (Common Places) as the point at which the present ensemble came together. Daniel Cantillana (violin, vocals) posits that the classic repertoire, which the younger Intis have mastered, is not a constraint but rather that it “establishes an intangible aesthetic framework that lets us know whether a song can fit. It is our identity, and if it determines what we do, it does so very subtly.” As founding member and Inti constant Jorge Coulon remarks, “What pleases me about this group today is that the creative risks it is taking are very much in keeping with our history while opening us up to many perspectives, many possibilities.” Pequeño Mundo, their most recent album, continues Inti’s exploration of Latin American, Afro-Latin, and Italian sounds and includes the group’s first foray into jazz-flavored composition. Regular Ticket: $58 | Big Ticket Member: $51 | Big Ticket Plus: $47 Box Office: 905.815.2021 or www.OakvilleCentre.ca “An Inti-Illimani concert is a wild ride through Latin music, a whirlwind of Andean folk tunes, tangos from Argentina, Brazilian sambas, and throbbing, sobbing love songs from Mexico. All the players displayed relentless virtuosity in a concert that was pure exhilaration to the very end.” ~ THE WASHINGTON POST

BATOUTOF HELL Meat Loaf • CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE • Thursday, October 30th at 8:00pm There is no other album like Bat Out of Hell, unless you want to count the sequel. This is Grand Guignol pop – epic, gothic, operatic, and silly, and it’s appealing because of all of this. Jim Steinman was a composer without peer, simply because nobody else wanted to make mini-epics like this. And there never could have been a singer more suited for his compositions than Meat Loaf, a singer partial to bombast, albeit shaded bombast. The compositions are staggeringly ridiculous, yet Meat Loaf finds the emotional core in each song, bringing true heartbreak to Two out of Three Ain’t Bad and sly humor to Paradise by the Dashboard Light. There’s no discounting the production of Todd Rundgren, either, who gives Steinman’s self-styled grandiosity a production that’s staggeringly big but never overwhelming and always alluring. While the sentiments are deliberately adolescent and filled with jokes and exaggerated clichés, there’s real (albeit silly) wit behind these compositions, not just in the lyrics but in the music, which is a savvy blend of oldies pastiche, show tunes, prog-rock, Springsteen-esque narratives, and blistering hard rock (thereby sounding a bit like an extension of Rocky Horror Picture Show, which brought Meat Loaf to the national stage). It may be easy to dismiss this as ridiculous, but there’s real style and craft here and its kitsch is intentional. It may elevate adolescent passion to operatic dimensions, and that’s certainly silly, but it’s hard not to marvel at the skill behind this grandly silly, irresistible album. ~ STEPHEN THOMAS ERLEWINE, AllMusic.com Regular Ticket: $65 | Big Ticket Member: $58 | Big Ticket Plus: $54 Box Office: 905.815.2021 or www.OakvilleCentre.ca Founded by Craig Martin in 2003, Toronto-based Classic Albums Live recreates famous rock albums without the gimmickry, relying solely on the music.

A DAN COOPER presentation Saturday, November 15th at 8:30pm in the Studio Theatre Having released six CDs as the Ennis Sisters, Ennis have recently released their follow-up to the award-winning album, Lessons Learned. “I am so proud of all the music we’ve made, both as the Ennis Sisters and now as Ennis”, says Maureen. “We feel like everything we’ve done in our career led to this album. We had the privilege of over-seeing every aspect of this CD; from deciding what songs were going on there, to the production and recording, to the final sound and design.” “It has been a tremendous amount of work, but more gratifying then anything,” explains Karen. “We were surrounded by some of the most talented people we know who raised the bar for us every day.” Produced by Maureen, The Fortunate Ones is an 11 song set featuring an original ballad from the internationally acclaimed Ron Hynes; Great Big Sea’s Alan Doyle produced a rousing pub-style song that he co-wrote with Oscar winner, Russell Crowe; there’s a song by the iconic Bob Dylan, a couple of traditional tunes including a set of tunes produced by Billy Sutton, featuring Karen on whistle, and six new tunes from the pen of Maureen and longtime collaborator, Mark Murphy. “Music has always been such a big part of our lives,” says Maureen. “As long as we’re able to maintain the passion that we have for playing live, we’ll continue to produce the kind of music that people expect from us at our shows. We feel like this CD is as close as we’ve come to capturing the live performance experience and we couldn’t be happier about that.” Regular: $44 | Big Ticket: $37 | Big Ticket Plus: $33 Box Office: 905.815.2021 or www.OakvilleCentre.ca “The Ennis Sisters are in a career that they love and it comes through in their music.

ERIC&BURDON THE ANIMALS Presented by Dan Cooper of Royal LePage Thursday, November 20th at 8:00pm himself in American blues and jazz. As front man and driving force of the British Invasion band The Animals, Burdon helped shape rock and roll’s DNA, and Eric’s imposing yet soulful vocals are the driving force of the iconic favorite House of the Rising Sun. A long string of hits followed, including Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood and the Vietnam-era anthem, We Gotta Get Out of This Place. Pioneering the psychedelic San Francisco sound, Burdon’s classics include San Franciscan Nights and Monterey. Burdon continued through the years to perform with different iterations of the Animals, while also founding and fronting the funk group War, one of the first multiracial bands, and topped the charts again with his groundbreaking hit single Spill the Wine. In the following decades Burdon has become an accomplished painter and author, and he continues to record and tour as a solo artist.
A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 1994, and hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the “100 Greatest Voices of All Time”, Burdon’s music forged new territory while also topping the charts for more than five decades. Highly prolific, Burdon has released nearly 50 records in those 50 years, as front man of The Animals and War and simply as Eric Burdon. Through the changing sounds and genres, what remains constant is his courage as an artist to explore new sounds, leading into new territory with his unrivaled and unique voice. Eric Burdon has shared the stage with legends such as Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Witherspoon, Otis Redding and Bruce Springsteen, and recently cited by cutting edge musicians like Patti Smith and Iggy Pop. Eric began his musical journey as a young man growing up in Newcastle, England. Listening to his idols, Ray Charles and Bo Diddley, he immersed

Bruce McCulloch “YOUNG DRUNK PUNK” Wednesday, December 3rd at 8:00pm Comedian, writer, director and legendary Kid in the Hall Bruce McCulloch combines stand-up, live music and assorted autobiographical insights in Young Drunk Punk. Bruce’s new solo show chronicles his journey from wild early days as a ‘young punk’ in 1980’s Alberta, to his flannel plaid days and futon nights in 90’s era Toronto, to becoming a ‘pajama-clad dad’ living in the Hollywood Hills. From scowling teenager to father of two, this evening of comedy, peppered with moments of surprising poignancy, proves that although this infamous Kid may be all grown up, his singular brand of humour and signature wit remain firmly intact. Bruce McCulloch has written or performed several one-man shows including Two-Headed Roommate, Jazz Stenographers, Slightly Bigger Cities and most recently The Pink Dot Stories in San Francisco. Bruce has two spoken word/comedy/music CDs, Shame-Based Man and The Drunk Baby Project. Bruce is a member of the The Kids in the Hall who recently returned to TV with the CBC series Death Comes to Town. Bruce spends most of his time in L.A., where he writes and produces for network and cable television. He’s also known as the creator of ABC’s Carpoolers. Bruce has written and/or directed several films including Dog Park starring Luke Wilson, Superstar starring Molly Shannon and Will Ferrell, Stealing Harvard starring Jason Lee and Leslie Mann and Comeback Season starring Ray Liotta. Bruce has also recently acted in episodes of Workaholics and the new season of Arrested Development.

Funny and upbeat with just a pinch of sass, the Good Lovelies’ textbook three-part harmonies, constant instrument swapping and witty stage banter have enlivened the folk music landscape since they joined forces in 2006 for their first show at Toronto’s funky Gladstone Hotel. The Good Lovelies (Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore) were friends first when they decided to take the leap from their day jobs and head out on the road making music across Canada. Their tireless rain or shine outlook and undeniable mutual respect have helped the trio weather years of constant touring. With jaunts to Australia, the UK and the US, the Good Lovelies’ road-tested tenacity will bring them further afield than ever before. Lighthearted songwriting and irresistibly buoyant dispositions have made them the darlings of the summer

festival circuit, including spots at the storied Mariposa and Hillside Festivals and the Montreal Jazz Festival. They have toured with Stuart McLean and the Vinyl Cafe and appeared on stages and in studios with Broken Social Scene, Kathleen Edwards and Jill Barber. In addition to their acclaimed holiday album, Under the Mistletoe, which showcases old and new seasonal tunes (including three original songs), the Good Lovelies’ self-titled full-length album proved their blithe brand of folk music has year-round appeal. With this record, the Good Lovelies won New Emerging Artist at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. In 2010, this same album received a Juno for Roots/Traditional Album of the Year. Let the Rain Fall, their third full-length album, was nominated for the 2012 Juno for Roots/Traditional Album of the Year. With equal parts city and country,

highway and home, wistfulness and sass, the Good Lovelies’ good humour and self-assurance shines through from the toe-tapping start of Made for Rain to the sweet final notes in the French-flecked Mrs. T. In between, you’ll hear reflections on urban imperfections with Backyard, straight-up love songs like Best I Know and upbeat numbers like Kiss Me in the Kitchen. Their newest release, Live at Revolution – and winner of two 2013 Canadian Folk Music Awards for Best Vocal Group & Best Ensemble – highlights the energy and variety of their live show. The album includes a few choice cover songs, including the 1930’s tune The Heebie Jeebies, Bruce Springsteen’s State Trooper and Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah as well as well-chosen collection of their original songs, including two previously unreleased tunes.
“Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore make three-part harmonies divinely – all sun, serotonin and retro-radio.” ~ BRAD WHEELER, The Globe & Mail

The WHITE ALBUM The Beatles • CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE • Saturday, December 13th at 8:00pm albums relied on the surrogate magic of studio technique, while neglecting the basics of song composition. This time, the Beatles have dared to be restrained. There is a per vasive hush over the entire work, even in its harsher moments. The arrangements are all solidly built on an bedrock of guitar, bass and drums. Although there are occasional flights of symphonic fancy, the songs themselves are sturdy enough to bear the weight of orchestrated variations. The Beatles seem secure now in their roles as concertmasters. Perhaps they no longer need to depend on instrumentation to convey their message. The meticulous structure of Sergeant Pepper – which inspired so much critical analysis – is abandoned here for the less explicit format of random songs. But though there is no direction to this album, the enormous range of the moods it explores is far more effective as vaudeville than was their previous work. The accessibility of this album has led some commentators to suggest that is represents a remembrance of things past. Nostalgia is certainly evident in the harmonies, re-emphasized backbeat and simplified melodic lines the Beatles are using now. But the similarities between this album and the early Beatles are superficial – and intentionally so. What the Beatles are really attempting to revive here is the spontaneous vitality of their earlier songs. They mean to project a sense of the immediate, the makeshift and the incomplete. This album is so vast in its scope, so intimate in its detail, and so skillful in its approach, that even the flaws add to its flavor.
The Beatles are capable of parody, profundity and poise, but they also epitomize the pretenses of their culture. For, more than anyone else in the pop hegemony, the Beatles involve themselves in the times. Unlike Dylan, who wanders like a pilgrim across the fiery plains of his own imagination, the Beatles are inspired groovers, equally at home in the haute monde (which cherishes them as clever rakes) and the underground (where they are loved as magic rebels). This dual appeal to opposing camps has made the Beatles philosopher-kings of pop. Their nation of subjects is more diverse than any monarch’s, and they have learned to respond to this audience by infusing their music with the kind of ambiguity which allows any listener to draw their own conclusions. This elusiveness – so central to the rock experience – is what keeps the Beatles’ work popular and fresh. Even at their most extravagant, their songs never seem stale because they are never specific. If the Beatles began as sexual shamans, they have blossomed as thought-wizards, so adept at casting spells that we have all to measure the art of our time as a magical mystery tour. Their new album is called simply, The Beatles. By packaging 30 new songs in a plain white jacket, so sparsely decorated as to suggest censorship, the Beatles ask us to drop our preconceptions about their “evolution” and to hark back. Measured in terms of its own goals, the album must be recognized as a major success. For me, it is the most satisfying collection of Beatles songs since Revolver was released more than two years ago. In terms of melodic and lyrical diversity, it is far more imaginative that either Sergeant Pepper or Magical Mystery Tour. Both these

A DAN COOPER presentation •
For a generation of Canadians, Lighthouse was the soundtrack of their lives. Lighthouse burst on the scene in 1969 with a unique blend of rock, jazz and classical influences that defied all conventions. They took Canada by storm, receiving four successive Group of the Year Junos and an Outstanding Male Performance Juno for Bob McBride. Fans responded by buying nine gold and platinum albums with international hits such as One Fine Morning, Sunny Days, Hats Off to the Stranger, 1849 and Pretty Lady.

didn’t see the group live. They were Canada’s band. Free-wheeling, high-spirited – the music of Lighthouse mirrored the times. Their story is interwoven with the history of late twentieth century Canada. Their rise to fame coincided with a new awareness of Canadian culture, encouraged by the government of Pierre Elliot Trudeau. The emergence of Cancon (Canadian content regulations) influenced by Skip Prokop’s historic appearance before Parliament, allowed the music of Canadians to be heard across the country. Riding the wave,
Lighthouse originated the cross-Canada rock tour, playing every major and minor venue across the country. Devoted audiences from province to province took pride in seeing one of their own make it to the top. Today, Lighthouse is creating the same magic with an extraordinary group of ten musicians featuring the original nucleus of Prokop, Ralph Cole and Paul Hoffert, an all-star horn section with originals Russ Little and Steve Kennedy and dynamic lead vocalist Dan Clancy.

Natalie’s family and work-life have been intertwined since marrying fellow fiddler Donnell Leahy in 2002. Her values are equally as important in her life as music. She believes incorporating family into her performances and music is the perfect way to maintain a healthy work-life balance. MacMaster and Leahy now have five beautiful children, all of whom accompany them on tour. Natalie admits that becoming a mother has reinvigorated her love for the stage by giving her a chance to transform from Natalie the Mom into Natalie MacMaster the Entertainer.
