SHANE PHILIP

Friday, September 17 /2009 at 7:30pm

Swelling in primordial pulses and wholloping whoops, the tacit tones of Shane Philip's didgeridoo hold the power to still listeners into silence or encourage audiences to rise up in a tribal swell of intoxicating spirit -- with sometimes but a heartbeat in between. Meanwhile his hands will be skilfully juggling between shaking up rhythms with his aslatua, driving the dance floor with his djembe and sliding out grooves on his Weissenborn-style guitar while his foot taps in earthshaking electronic kicks wherever they might fit. He is a one-man show weaving sounds that inspire audiences anywhere he goes. From early childhood moments of drumming kitchen tables and car dashboards, to January 2008's release of his latest album, "In The Moment" Shane's musical stylings have been self-taught and self-motivated every step of the way. Borrowing from folk, reggae, blues and beyond, he blurs the boundaries of expectation and music into an altogether unique soundscape. "We are influenced by everything we listen to, see and do," Shane reminds. "So much of what shapes the music, vibe, content, and overall feeling of the songs is unconscious. I write music that results from everything that goes on in the life I live."While Shanes' current musical forays tend toward an organic dance sound, his first album was a folk-rock collaboration aimed at planting the seeds of Canadian history into the minds of youth. The project came about as part of Shane's past incarnation as a high school social studies teacher. 2005 saw the end of his teaching career, the release of "OM Cooking," and the beginning of Shane's life as a non-stop touring musician. Since then he has toured Canada extensively, often putting in triple overtime in the mountains and islands east of Calgary, including an epic five-night stint at Wild Bill's in Banff, Alberta.In 2007, Shane released "Earthshake," a collection of songs he had been working on for the past couple years, with production assistance from long-time collaborator, Corwin Fox. 2008 will see their collaboration expanded and revamped with the release of Shane's newest album, "In The Moment." While some of the songs are rhythmically focused (bursting with high energy and powerful dance rhythms), others drip melodically with honey and sunshine -- deeply moving songs that reflect on the environment, social justice and personal experience. Whether playing with spirited mayhem, or with mellow gold, Shane Philip presents songs that are consistently well crafted, while always leaving listeners with a positive afterglow. Seating at the Creekside Theatre is limited so reserve your tickets early to avoid disappointment and help us raise funds for our bursary.

COMEDY SKETCH IMPROVISATION
CSI “Okanagan”


October 8th & 9th  
/2010 at 7:30pm

A sketch comedy revue starring Roman Danylo from CTV’s “Comedy Inc.”

This touring comedy show is jammed packed with hilarious sketches, improv comedy, and a title parody sketch featuring Roman impersonating David Caruso cracking a case that could only happen in “Your Town”. Roman’s sketch called “The David Caruso School of Acting” is closing in on 200,000 hits on youtube.

Imagine “CSI Okanagan” where the murder takes place at the local 'Mission Hill Winery', the killer hides out at 'The Grand Hotel' in Kelowna, is chased down 'Harvey Ave' and escapes on a wave runner stolen from 'Okanagan Boat Rentals'. After careful DNA testing and enhancing a blurry photo, the killer is revealed to be none other than the Sasquatch riding on Ogopogo drinking a Kokanee…. that sorta thing. The rest of the show consists of quality, tried and true, comedy sketches on a variety of topics and includes some of the best sketches from Comedy Inc. In the second half the cast really cuts loose and performs an improv comedy set based solely on audience suggestion. Investigate this show for yourself and you’ll find some killer comedy scenes performed by a cast of Canada’s best comedians.
Starring:
Roman Danylo has appeared in several Canadian TV Series including CTV’s Corner Gas, CBC’s Just For Laughs, CBC’s Made in Canada, and has taped two stand-up specials for CTV’s Comedy Now. For five seasons Roman starred in a sketch comedy series on CTV and Spike TV called Comedy Inc.
Diana Frances is a seven time nominee for Best Female Improviser (Canadian Comedy Awards) and has written for This Hour Has 22 Minutes and The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos, for which she was nominated for a Gemini Award.
Drew Mcreadie has just returned from 4 months performing with Second City on a cruise ship. He spent 3 days a week in Bermuda, and one day in Boston, as well as touring throughout the Caribbean. He is really happy to be back in BC for some warm weather.

LORNE ELLIOTT
Saturday, October 23 
/2010 at 7:30pm

Canadian born, LORNE ELLIOTT has performed from Newfoundland to New York City, from Los Angeles to Australia and points in between. Lorne started performing in 1974 as a folk musician in East Coast Canada. At the same time he kept writing fiction as well as songs, monologues and one-liners. The outcome of such a training is a very special show of comedy and music, totally original, entertaining, up-lifting and foolish enough to make everybody laugh. Along with his unique and wacky performance style, it is the timelessness of his material, joined with keen observations of today's trends that make LORNE ELLIOTT's work so special.

Blackberry Wood  
Saturday, November 20 /2010 at 7:30pm
 

BLACKBERRY WOOD has shared the stage with some crazy and divers folks like: "Lady Gaga", at Glastonbury Festival Club Da Da stage 2009, "David Grisman" of Greatful Dead Fame, at the Grisman Experience Festival 2008 in Yimar B.C., "Trans Siberian Marching Band" at Glastonbury Fest 2009, 2008 Polaris Music Prize Nominees and Glastonbury people voted best band "Holy Fuck" at Starbelly Jamm Festival 2009, "Kinnie Starr"! and "Arrested Development" at Komasket Festival 2009, Vancouver's "Japandroids"and "the Pack A.D." at Pat's pub as well, and Vancouver's "Headwater" "Joey Only" and "Five Alarm Funk" and at many shows! Come check out Blackberry Wood Live!!!


Blackberry Wood is a wonderful, secret and Magic combination of original Alt-Country-Ragtime-Circus-Gypsy music, and up to date fun Grooves: Exotic World beats -Jumpin' Ska n’ many other irresistible body shakin -foot stomping delights. They’re a traveling Circus!!! See ya at the show!!!

It all started when a friend asked Kris and Corinne if they would Play a New Years Gig in the fishing and surfing village of Ucluelet, four days before New Years Eve. In a frenzy-- Kris and Corinne whipped together their strangest mix of original material---and it was a hit, impressing all the loggers and fishermen and surfers! Needless to say they where invited back for the next New Years Party. After a few more gigs, and Kris churning out a huge batch of sweet songs, they decided to invite more musicians into the swamp stompin' Blackberry Woods. Muahahahaha.... First to come stumbling down the hill and waltzing in, came a slightly intoxicated and very crazy drummer---Amrit. Not far behind Amrit was the Dreamy---Katheryn squeezing magic from the accordion. Then, straight out of the Blue Sky, fell---DeLisa,and Jack blasting away on their shiny brass Trumpets. Next, floating down the river that runs through the Blackberry Woods, on Acoustic bass, came---Michael! Right behind him is Paul in his Washtub Bass!!! and oh! there's also---Jenn, Tesla and Jeanie adding percussive golden touches that shake up the woods! Now, with---Corinne playing Saxophone, and singing like a nightingale, and with---Kris on Guitar, singing with his raspy half Country half rappin' Hungarian gypsy heart out, this little Orchestra conjures up some of the most wondrous music for the whole world to enjoy!
