I think the GF and I are going to go to the Monday night show. Pricey ticket but F it! I like this notion of a birthday week AD.

Oct 16 at the Capital there is a Six Shooter Records showcase show, full lineup!

I was just checking out prices for Hip tickets... Comes out to about $80 a pop for balcony seats at the NAC! Ouch.

I'm on episode 3, season 2. It's getting good... Still not completley hooked, but I have faith.

Strokin The Grits still gets airplay from me from time to time. The Pavement mix (2cd) is also one of my favs.

http://www.myspace.com/kevinbreit Looks like its 1st Wednesday of the month for the next 4 months (including tonight): Sept 2 Oct 7 Nov 4 Dec 2 Nice!

Hey! I'm also Kevin and also in Hintonburg. Well I don't live in Hintonburg but work there. Anyhoo... welcome!

That one guys starts to humm the song "These Nights" when asked what his favourite Dolly Parton song is. :susel:

Oct 09, 2009 08:00 - Toronto Lee’s Palace, Toronto, Ontario Oct 10, 2009 08:00 - Toronto Lee’s Palace, Toronto, Ontario Oct 11, 2009 08:00 - Montreal Club Soda, Montreal Great night out if you're in town looking for something to do the night before the moe. show! http://www.theslackers.com/

I was impressed that he pulled out Mines of Mozambique! Bruce used to be a strong champion for the landmine cause and often spoke out on behalf of Mines Action Canada . These days he's latched onto the food security theme and does stuff with USC Canada. I was really impressed with Bruce at Folk Fest too! Admittedly I'm not familiar with his music beside the hits, but would like to give him some more listening time now. Top album recommendation? My fav. Bruce moment of the weekend: He wandered down to the very small Hill Stage area before any of the other artists prior to the workshop with Cockburn/Plaskett/Page/Muira. Directly behind the Hill Stage was a small forested area and then the Ottawa River. Bruce wandered down there with his guitar to tune and stood there playing guitar in the grass & trees while looking out over the river. It was a Kodak moment -- though I didn't get a shot, but one or two others did.

hahehahahah

That would be great too. How do the two compare? What is going on in this post-OiNK world?

Cool! I had no idea that they did anything outside of Alberta...thought it was strictly local. Carry on.. Actually when I was living in Korea about 2 years ago, they started importing Big Rock to select bars in Seoul, and someone even opened a Big Rock bar -- all Canadian themed with Big Rock on draft! http://wiki.galbijim.com/Big_Rock_Brewery (Folk Fest comments coming soon)

got any more? kevoneill42@hotmail.com thanks!

I'll be in town that weekend.. I'm in! Haven't seen moe. since Nero opened for them at the Phoenix.. What year was that?

Hooray Anne!!! I have Friday night off "work", looking forward to seeing you there

I love seeing Jesse Stewart perform, quite mesmerizing on the drums/percussion. At the Folk Fest warmup event at the Archives site he had this instrument that looks like a big steel pizza pan but there is water inside it, and you hold it by this handle that comes up the middle, then you hit it and sort of roll the water around inside. It sounded a bit like someone playing crystal wine glasses but with tilting chords (if that makes any sense!). He's also in the group Tallboys with Kevin Breit and Matt Brubeck I think (who apparently tore it up at Hillside this year). AND i think he was head of the music dept at U of Guelph when I went there in 99-01.

I love that they're playing Esther again. I'm also curious to hear the new songs, judging by how much they're playing them (compared to Round Room or Undermind tunes pre/post release) they're obviously pretty confident that they rate high enough in rock factor.

They'll also be showing The Last Waltz, Stop Making Sense and others as a part of this bit of the TIFF.

I think you mean Jesse Stewart..

Here it is! http://www.ottawafolk.org/2009/schedule.html I'm volunteering as a Roadie (Production Crew), watch out for me Sat/Sun daytime on the Hill Stage. "CHECK ONE! CHECK! CHECK ONE TWO!" I must admit, I barely know anyone on this lineup and I'm hoping that some of you can lend your insight. Looking forward to hearing a lot of new artists though, and those running the Festival seem like great folks! The whole equality-between-artists-and-volunteers thing is wonderful (has it always been like this or did they take a page from Hillside? Or is this part of the Folk Festival tradition, of which Hillside took a page?) It's going to be a great weekend. Some highlights: - Songs From the Road: Bruce Cockburn, Joel Plaskett, Steven Page - Favourite Colours: Amy Milan, The Sadies, Charlotte Cornfield - The Natural Harmony: Albert Dumont, Mr. Something Something, Vishtèn - Dig Your Roots: Lyndell Montgomery, That 1 Guy, Travis & Dallas Good (The Sadies) - Three: Joel Plaskett, David Ross MacDonald, Catriona Sturton Some observations: - I totally thought The Sadies would be headlining the Dance Tent on Friday night. Who's Mihirangi? What's the Woodchoppers Assoc. like? - Similarly I thought for sure that Joel Plaskett would headline on Sunday night. I guess 2nd to last is a good slot on a Sunday night though. - Any insight into some of the less obvious members of the above collabs?
