The Chucky Danger Band has recently emerged on the Canadian music scene at the forefront of young creative musicians turned professional touring artists. Well traveled, they bring a worldview to their songwriting and professionalism to their performing which is exemplary as ambassadors of the new emerging face of young Canadian artists. Standing ovations, enthusiastic fans - The Chucky Danger Band has been on the rise since their debut at the East Coast Music Awards in 2004. Dressed in trademark tailored black suits and ties and a fresh pop/rock sound, they delivered performances throughout the Maritimes, a debut CD colour and a win at the PEI Music Awards for Entertainer of the Year. 2006 saw the band win its first East Coast Music award and the single and video "Marching Machine" from colour receive airplay across Canada including CBC and Much Music. The guys have also just finished an exhaustive and very successful school tour of British Columbia. Their Website here

1952: it seemed like the beginning of the end for Hank Williams. His marriage and his contract with the Grand Ole Opry had ended. His health - never good - was in serious decline. His drinking got worse, concerts were fewer, and even his friend and mentor Fred Rose said he wouldn't put up with Hank's shenanigans any longer.
Then, suddenly, in September of '52 things changed; Louisiana Hayride was a hit on radio, a tour was successful and he was about to get married again. All was going well - too well. Within a few months Hank Williams died in the back of his Cadillac on the way to a performance.
Joe Matheson, backed by a full band, brings the story of one of music's greats to life with humour, bittersweet stories and some of the best music of all time. His Website here

From the far off reaches of Northern Canada comes this fabulous hard-swinging group to serve up a spicy gumbo of tales, music, humour, and just plain fun - making traditional jazz an enjoyable and entertaining experience. New Orleans North is a traditional band, infused with the spirit and enthusiasm of the hottest jazz bands of the 20's and 30's.
The band members team up to bring you a rare sampling of New Orleans jazz and blues delights that rose from the establishments of the infamous back rooms of New Orleans. Stride pianist Grant Simpson leads the band, creating musical arrangements that combine traditional stylings with a fresh approach. The result is one of the most distinctive and energetic sounds on the Canadian jazz front today. Their Website here
