Good Rockin'
Tonight
The
Sun Records Story
Tuesday,
March 30 /2010
at 7:30pm
"Good Rockin' Tonight: The Sun Records Story" is the
offical and exclusive touring show of the famed Memphis-based record label that
launched the careers of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry
Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and more!
A truly unique and amazing musical theatre experience, "The Sun Records
Story" is a two-act play that dramatizes the amazing-but-true story of
the birth of Rock'N'Roll in the 1950's. Act One is set in the legendary
Sun Studio in 1954 under the watchful eye of eccentric producer Sam
Phillips, and allows the audience to watch, listen and learn the recording
secrets behind classic songs such as "I Walk The Line"
"That's All Right Mama" "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Whole Lotta
Shakin' ".
Act Two is full of great music and laughs! Set in 1956, the Sun
Records Story re-creates a radio broadcast of "The Lousiana Hayride"
featuring the "Sun Record All-Stars" (Presley, Cash, Lewis and Perkins)...but
also includes a surprise appearance by a young Roy Orbison. Complete with
1950's-era radio commercials, fan-mail, wacky stunts and great music, the
audience is certain to leave the theatre with their toes-a-tappin', a smile on
their face, and a song in their hearts!

at 7:30pm
Adult Show
Herb
Dixon was born in Vancouver, British Columbia but grew up in the heart of
the west, that original cow-town, Calgary, Alberta. As a teenager, he
discovered he could make people laugh - really laugh! With his rubber face ,
his ability to recreate sounds, and his talent to tell an engaging story, it
seemed he was destined for a career in comedy. So, in 1979 he began making
club audiences laugh as an amateur comic in Vancouver's comedy Clubs.
Twenty Years have passed from the time Herb decided to become an
entertainer. All the while, Herb has built and honed his material on his way
up the ladder of comedy. Today, Herb Dixon is one of North America's
most sought-after comedy's acts!

A night out with Little Women
A little Dessert and Peace
Saturday,
April 17 /2010
at 7pm
Come join us at our Gala as we raise
awareness and funds to support education projects in Afghanistan.
Dessert and non alcoholic champagne, silent auction and live auctions.
Performances that celebrate peace and hope through education.


A gala performance and auction on April 17 is designed to continue the
formidable fundraising capacity of Little Women for Little Women in
Afghanistan, with all proceeds helping them to keep their promise to young
girls of Afghanistan.
“A Night Out with Little Women” is produced by the Little Women of the
Okanagan, where the national organization was founded four years ago. This
is the second “Night Out” gala fundraiser --- the first one, in the fall of
2007, was a resounding success.
This year, the goal is to provide “a little dessert and peace” for all
participants, along with colourful performances that celebrate peace and
hope through education. There will be both silent and live auctions.
Performers will be announced in early April.
Based on their resounding logo, Education=Peace, the elementary-aged girls
have to date raised more than $250,000, part of which includes matching
dollars from the Canadian government. These funds are taken to facilities in
Afghanistan where they are used to pay for teaching materials, salaries for
teachers of girls and women, and sometimes for food and shelter.
Under the previous Taliban government, females were not permitted to be
educated, and some continue to be threatened for attending classes. This was
the critical know
ledge
that galvanized 9 year-old Alaina Podmorow of Lake Country in the fall of
2006. She founded the first chapter of Little Women at Davidson Road School,
working with an established volunteer group in Calgary called Canadian Women
4 Women in Afghanistan. There are currently ten Canadian chapters of Little
Women , and Alaina has spoken dozens of time to audiences large and small,
and been interviewed by media, from local to national.
“It's about awareness. We want to show people that girls can do anything
they dream of if given the chance. We want to raise money so that girls in
Afghanistan have this chance, too,” says Alaina. “It’s going to be such a
fun evening, with lots of music, really good desserts and great auctions.”
Alaina invites everyone to come to the gala. “It is so important. We need to
build a bridge of peace so that little girls in Afghanistan can go to school
without being afraid.”

Delhi
2
Dublin
Saturday,
April 24 /2010
at 7:30pm
A Wildly Contenporary High Energy Blend of Celtic and Punjabi
Music
Vancouver-based Delhi 2 Dublin is a group of five musicians who mash up
electronica and world music, keeping it heavy on the Bhangra, Celtic and Dub
flavours. Fusing tabla, fiddle, dhol, Punjabi vocals, and electric sitar with
scorching electronic beats - ranging from reggae to drum and base - the crew
takes listeners on a wild ride through global sounds and synchronicities.
Originally formed for a one-shot performance during Vancouver's Celtic Fest in
March of 2006, word of their foot stomping, high energy live set started to
spread, and the project took on a life of its own. Since then, D2D has been busy
gigging constantly, touring Eastern Canada and California, playing some of
Canada's largest festivals (including the Vancouver Folk Music Festival,
Shambhala, Salmon Arm Roots and Blues) as well as being invited to open the
massive Canada Day celebrations for 40,000 people on Parliament Hill in Ottawa
in 2007. They've shared the bill with names like De La Soul, Cheb i Sabbah, and
Metric, and have found a cult following in many of the West Coast's smaller
communities and towns.
Their debut album "Delhi 2 Dublin" reached #3 on the Canadian Chart Attack world
music charts; their 2008 Remix album reached #1 and receives consistent airplay
from Japan to Eastern Europe to the UK.
In the summer of 2009 D2D played festivals such as Sunfest (London), Hillside (Guelph),
the Regina Folk Festival, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, the North
County Fair (AB), Faerieworlds (Eugene, Oregon), The Big time Out (Cumberland)
and Shambhala (Nelson).
Recently, the crew released their second album “Delhi 2 Dublin – Remixed.” This
time, D2D chose some of their favorite producers from around the globe to remix
their first album but with more bass, more energy, more punk and more dance
bliss! They are also currently recording their first music video with their
friend and director Michael Mann. Their goal? Total global domination. Bouncy
bhangra-leprechauns everywhere. Partying with plincky plincky lovers all over
the globe and spreading the good vibe wherever they can. Oh ya, and more
synchronized dance moves. Its all about the synchronized dance moves. Delhi 2
Dublin’s influences include: Afro-Celt Soundsystem, Transglobal Underground,
Cheb i Sabbah, Dhamaal Soundsystem. Each band member has very different musical
tastes, but the band as a whole capitalizes on this diversity to create the
common ground for their unique sound.
"Delhi 2 Dublin is the perfect mix of bhangra(ic)-celtic synchronicity, it only
happens once and you are hearing it" - Cheb i Sabbah
The Crew: Tarun - Tabla, Electronics Ravi - Dhol
Andrew - Sitar, Guitar Kytami - Violin Sanjay - Lead vocals
Influences: Manu Chao, Transglobal Underground, Cheb I Sabbah, Dhamaal
Soundsystem, Swami, T.D.F.
