The Stampeders...One More Time |
"They're on their way, to the city lights" ... and, THE predominant Canadian Rock n' Roll band of the 1970s “The Stampeders“ are bringing along all their classic hits: Wild Eyes, Carry Me, Oh My Lady, Devil You, Monday Morning Choo Choo, Minstrel Gypsy, Hit the Road Jack and, of course, the quintessential Canadian“ and Hall of Fame“ song, Sweet City Woman! A veritable soundtrack to a whole generation that will carry you home... maybe not to Birmingham... but back to a time of tie-dyed t-shirts and elevator shoes, 15 cent coffee and homemade apple pie, dating and dreaming... By the time The Stampeders get to the first chorus of the first song, everyone will be singing along.
No seventies group represented Canada's musical identity to the world like The Stampeders. A quick look at Canada's music scene from 1971 until 1976 confirms The Stampeders were truly the country's international musical ambassadors, touring more extensively in Canada and overseas than any other Canadian group during that time. In 1977 the trio: Rich Dodson (lead guitar), Kim Berly (drums) and Ronnie King (bass) parted company but reunited, fittingly at the Calgary Stampede, 15 years later in 1992. Since then they've been recognized by SOCAN for their Lifetime Achievement, been inducted into the SOCAN Songwriters Hall of Fame on five occasions and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for their 1971 seminal hit Sweet City Woman.
The enduring musical legacy of The Stampeders ... One More Time ... ''better catch a noon train, better get there for a rock 'n' rolling good time! |

Marc Jordan & Amy Sky... Together in Concert! |
Marc Jordan & Amy Sky … Together in Concert is, in short, magical! Two much-loved and respected, multiple award-winning Canadian singer-songwriters fuse their individual talents to create a spellbinding evening of entertainment. As Canadian broadcaster Ross Porter wrote, “If music is doing its job, one of its functions is to act as a salve to the troubled times in our lives. Marc performs … with so much affection and imagination, the mission is accomplished.” The very same can be said of Amy.
Throughout the evening, aside from their wry humour and anecdotes spanning 36 years of marriage, each will perform a generous sampling of their own hits … for example, Amy’s I Will Take Care of You, Til You Love Somebody and Love, Pain and the Whole Damn Thing, and Marc’s Marina Del Rey, Tears of Hercules and, of course, his worldwide #1 hit Rhythm of My Heart. Nonetheless, the real magic comes when Marc and Amy sing together – the melody intertwined with innovative and unexpected harmonies – his smoky, jazz-tinged voice comes in above her gutsy, gravelly alto, next phrase they weave around each other, and Amy is soaring over Marc, so deliciously evident in songs like Long Shot and Free Fallin’ from their critically acclaimed Juno nominated album He Sang, She Sang. For this series of concerts, they will be joined by a group of outstanding musical friends under the direction of renowned producer/composer and keyboardist Lou Pomanti.
Marc Jordan & Amy Sky … Together in Concert! ... the whole is, indeed, greater than the sum of its parts. |

Those Movies |
Written by Norm Foster Directed by Jesse Collins
When Harry asks his pal Patrick to accompany his coworker Millie and her visiting cousin Chelsea for a blind date, Patrick reluctantly agrees. But as the night unfolds, wires get crossed and false assumptions between Patrick and Chelsea spiral into a comical miscue. And the comedy rolls out from there. Those Movies affectionately spoofs and celebrates the tried-and-true romantic comedy formula that movie fans know so well, as the story zigs and zags its way through a maze of mixups, mayhem, and misunderstandings. Foster's spot-on dialogue, richly drawn characters, and impeccable comic timing are on full display. |

Between Two Worlds - An Evening of Mediumship with Andy Byng |
World renowned medium Andy Byng has been delivering messages from the spirit world for the last 20 years, and his gift has taken him around the globe. Featured in the recent Netflix Documentary Surviving Death, Andy has been tested by several scientists; works for some of the most respected institutions for mediumship, including the Arthur Findlay College, the world-renowned school for the development of mediumship and the psychic arts where he is a tutor; and has worked alongside some of the most respected mediums of our time.
Originally hailing from England, Andy now resides in Canada and is embarking on a national tour, Between Two Worlds. As part of this tour we are excited to welcome Andy to the Orillia Opera House, where he will be demonstrating his own unique style of mediumship, and his belief that those who have passed away can communicate with their loved ones. In Andy's words: "A good Evening of Mediumship will move the whole audience. Through the use of factual pieces of information, it is the medium's job to tell the story of how the audience member's loved ones in the spirit world lived and expressed themselves during their physical lives. For me, there is nothing quite like it "laughter, joy and sometimes tears of sadness, it shows us that our loved ones who have passed away are still human, that they have not changed but are the same people, who still love us and are only but a thought away" Experience Andy's gift here. |
