AREA HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK
****************************************
The 18th edition of Virée Blues
Boréale presents
Steve Marriner Solo
Le Petit Chicago, 50 Promenade du Portage
(Old Hull sector), Gatineau
Wednesday, October 9 @ 8 pm; tickets $15
Although inspired
by The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Hank Williams, George Jones and Muddy
Waters, the Blues Brothers movie was the true trigger of Steve Marriner’s Blues destiny, when
he was only 10. At 14, Steve won
a prestigious harmonica competition, the Ottawa Harp Blow Off. Three-time
Juno recipient Harry Manx invited
him to the Chicago Blues Festival in 2004 and a standing ovation propelled him
into that great adventure, The World of the Blues. He was only 22 when he
played with Harry Manx, Sue Foley, Shrimp Daddy, JW-Jones,
The Junkyard Dogs and Big Daddy G, on guitar, on keyboard,
on bass, or on harmonica, touring Canada, the United States, Australia and
Great Britain.
In 2007, with the Steve Marriner Band, he launched his first album “Going Up”, a Classic style Blues album presented with a contemporary approach. This very promising group ran into a major upheaval in 2008, when preparing a Virée Blues Boréale show, with special guest Tony D, and somehow lighted some fireworks which resulted in the birth of the now famous MonkeyJunk, which has won over 15 Maple Blues Awards and the Juno for “Best Blues Album” in 2012.

Monday, October 14 @ 9:05 pm
Tuesday, October 15 @ 9:05 pm
A town of some
13,000 inhabitants in northern Alabama on the banks of the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals is tiny in comparison to
cities like Memphis, New Orleans and Nashville. Yet for the last half-century
it has punched way above its weight in the annals of American music. It’s
effectively the centre of southern country soul, thanks to its legendary recording
studios, where such stars as Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Percy Sledge and
Candi Staton made their names, and where in later years established stars like
the Rolling Stones, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and Rod Stewart arrived to infuse
their music with the elusive ‘Muscle Shoals sound’.
ByTowne Cinema and
CKCU are screening concert and documentary films every Monday (repeated
Tuesdays on some weeks) for as long as interest continues.

5th Annual An
Evening to Remember
Gala Dinner
and Dance fundraiser for Alzheimer’s Research
Ottawa
Convention Centre, 55 Colonel By Drive
Saturday,
October 26; doors @ 5 pm, dinner @ 7 pm, dance 9 pm – 1 am; tickets $100
From Tom Rowe:
As some of you know, Sweet and the Back Beat has been involved with the
"You and Me for Memories Gala" for the past four years. This is
a fund raising event for Alzheimer's research. Our good friend Dave St. Jean is
the Chairman and driving force behind this effort and I am forwarding the
invitation below. This is a first class event, very well organized and
dedicated to a worthy cause. Please consider lending your support.
Hi, I am the Chairman of the You and Me for
Memories Foundation, with a mandate to raise funds to support research into
all aspects of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. I would like to invite
you to our 5th annual An Evening to Remember Gala
Dinner and Dance fundraiser for Alzheimer’s Research. All proceeds raised go
directly to support Alzheimer’s Research at the University of Ottawa. Last year
An Evening to Remember sold out.
As you know, Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging. It is
devastating – and fatal – but not quick. It slowly steals memory;
cognitive, verbal and physical abilities; and ultimately, life. By the time
you’ve finished reading this email another person in Canada will have been
diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. There is no cure and no prevention. Research
is the key to a cure. With
enough support, researchers could find that cure, or a treatment, within 5-7
years.
Come and join us, and to help rid the world of Alzheimer’s disease.
Please circulate this email to others who may be interested in supporting this
important fundraising endeavour.
Visit www.youandmeformemories.ca
for more information on Alzheimer’s, the Gala, to purchase tickets, make
donations and sponsorship opportunities. You may also call us at 613-836-0961,
or email youandmeformemories@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Dave St-Jean

****************************************
Peter Karp & Sue Foley
Music by the Bay Live at Annandale, 221 Church
Street South, Ajax ON
Friday Oct 18, 2013 @ 9 pm; Advance Tickets $40
Sue Foley is considered to
be one of the finest blues and roots artists working today. Born to a working
class family, Sue spent her early childhood moving from Canadian town to town
with her mother. At sixteen, she embarked on her professional career. By
twenty-one, she was living in Austin TX and recording for the legendary blues
label, Antone’s Records. Her first release, “Young Girl Blues”, quickly
established her unique talents as a blues guitarist and songwriter. Throughout
the ‘90s she took to the road with her paisley Telecaster and honed her craft,
working and sharing the stage with such artists as BB King, Buddy Guy, Lucinda
Williams and Tom Petty. After moving back to Canada, Sue won the prestigious
Juno Award for her critically acclaimed CD “Love Coming Down” as well as
seventeen Maple Blues Awards.
Gifted
singer-songwriter, guitarist, pianist and American troubadour, Peter Karp, is a master songsmith with
an art for spinning true-to-life emotions, humor, and candor. With an
upbringing that was equal parts southern Alabama and the swamps of New Jersey,
Karp’s music is fueled by the Yankee-Rebel connection. He first caught national
attention with help from Rolling Stone guitarist Mick Taylor who recorded and
toured with Karp on his first label release “The Turning Point”. Karp further
established himself on the national scene as a critically acclaimed songwriter,
and accomplished guitarist and pianist with the release of his Blind Pig debut
entitled “Shadows and Cracks”. On the road across the U.S. and Canada, Karp
repeatedly transfixes his live audiences. Critics compare his songwriting to
John Hiatt and John Prine, with impressive guitar and slide licks infused by
his love of Freddie King and Elmore James.
“…red-hot guitar
fretwork and pristine vocals …. stomping keyboards and raspy voice; mesh like
well-oiled gears …. the duo’s creative chemistry shimmers in every note….

Braithwaite & Whiteley
Music by the Bay Live at Annandale, 221 Church Street South, Ajax ON
Friday, November 8; tickets $40
Their first CD
collaboration in 2005, “Morning Sun”, garnered rave reviews, extensive air
play, and led to multiple Canadian Maple Blues Award nominations, including
Album of the year, and Acoustic Act of the year. Their second albums, also
recorded for the Electro-Fi label, “Night Bird Blues” was extremely well
received, with great reviews and airplay internationally. It led to them being
awarded 3 Maple Blues Awards in January 2010, including being recognized as Songwriters
Of The Year. Their third Electro-Fi release, “DeltaPhonic”, led to more Maple
Blues Awards, and reached number 1 on B.B. Kings Bluesville XM Sirius satellite
radio network. Collectively they have been awarded 9 Maple Blues Awards and 6
JUNO Nominations.
****************************************
ZZ Top
Canadian Tire Centre, Kanata ON
Monday, November 11; tickets $60.50 and up
ZZ Top lay
undisputed claim to being the longest running major rock band with original
personnel intact and in 2004 the Texas trio was inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame. With the release of each of their albums the band has explored
new ground in terms of both their sonic approach and the material they’ve recorded.
Evidence of that consistency and adaptability is found in “La Futura”, their
first studio album in nine years, which was released in September of 2012.
Produced by Rick Rubin and Gibbons, it reflects the solid blues inspiration
that has powered the band since the very beginning with a contemporary approach
that underscores the group’s inclination to experiment and explore new sonic
vistas. The album includes ten new tracks including the widely lauded ‘I Gotsta
Get Paid’ that has become both a video and in-concert sensation.
****************************************
Bonnie Raitt
with
special guest Marc Cohn
NAC Southam Hall, 53 Elgin Street
Friday, November 15 @ 8 pm; tickets start at $82
The long awaited return of the legendary Bonnie Raitt to the stage of
the National Arts Centre with a very special guest: Marc Cohn. Well into her
International Tour for her Grammy Award Winning 19th album “Slipstream”,
this will be Bonnie’s first Ottawa appearance in over 6 years. The album got
its start by Bonnie’s initial collaborations with longtime admirer, producer
Joe Henry. Though many songs were actually recorded at that time, 4 have
been included on “Slipstream”, with the remainder to be released on later
recordings. The balance of the album comes from subsequent sessions with
her much-lauded touring band including George Marinelli (guitar), James ‘Hutch’
Hutchinson (bass), Ricky Fataar (drums) and longtime friend Mike Finnegan
(keyboards). Expect to hear a number of the new songs from “Slipstream”
featured, along with many favourite songs from Bonnie’s catalogue of recordings
from the last 40 years.
****************************************
Ray Bonneville
Irene’s Pub, 885 Bank Street
Wednesday, November 20 @ 8 pm
Many of those
familiar with Red House recording artist Ray Bonneville know that he is a hard
driving, blues influenced, song and groove man who often writes about people
who live on the fringe of society. Ray’s vibe is loose and soulful. With a
greasy guitar style, horn-like harmonica phrasing, smoky vocal style and pulsing
foot percussion he immediately rivets audiences. His solo performance fills a
concert hall with all the sound layering and drama of a full band. The
consummate, driven professional, Ray plays more than one hundred and fifty
shows a year across the US, Canada and Europe. He has a loyal,
enthusiastic fan base wherever he goes.
