    serena ryder......did she perform at the opening of the joe chithalen lending library a couple of years ago? if so, i saw her there and thought she was amazing......but didn't remember her name until seeing it here. she is an old soul with the voice of a 60 year old blues singer.....

    that's her indeed ... she's at The Grad Club here in Kingston on Feb 12!

  9. Mr Something Something this Friday in Kingston

    Rock Crew and CFRC present Mr. Something Something with special guests Vanderpark this Friday, January 28 at Clark Hall Pub. Cover is $6

    Mr. Something Something represents two years of composing, performing, risk-taking, improving and ultimately mobilizing the original vision of founding members Larry Graves [drums/percussion] and John MacLean [saxophone/voice]. 20 years of playing, studying and traveling passed before these two childhood friends settled on the unbeatable dance rhythms of Nigeria, Senegal, Mali and Ghana as the most natural gathering place for the elements that would ultimately make up the Mr. Something Something sound.

    Western instruments and concepts of improvisation are explored and layered over what used to be called afrobeat; but the term strains to contain the innovations happening in the rhythm section at every show. It also fails to express in fiery-enough terms the contributions of notable and electrifying vocalist/performance artist Johan Ivar. Breaks and basslines are designed to induce and sustain a state of ecstatic dancing. The horn section strikes with power and uplifts with melody. And above it all, acting as a lightning rod for the combined energies of a Mr. Something Something event, is the lyric statement of the case for change and consciousness. And dance.

    Vanderpark is a Toronto-based fusion-pop band that has been turning heads with their hard-edged melodic jams at each appearance they have made around Eastern Canada. With their passionate, high-energy performances, this group's enthusiasm for music is contagious-- making their audiences groove wherever they go. The Vanderpark sound combines elements of folk, jazz, rock and funk, each contributing to the freshness and life of their unique sound.

    Rock Crew and CFRC are proud to bring back The Jimmy Swift Band to Elixir this Thursday, Jan 20! Tickets are $8 and available at Brian's Record Option, Zap Records, UBS Exchange, Renaissance Music, Elixir and on-line at www.rockcrew.ca

    Opening the show is Contact (advanced house-rock)

    “The music sounds like a Pink Floyd for the modern era, but where Pink Floyd’s music challenged the mind, The Jimmy Swift Band’s music challenges both the body and the mind.”

    - Atlantic Zone

    "...catalysts of the live music community... the Jimmy Swift Band intermingle tightly composed rock with intense, spacey jamtronica... an orgasm of the senses. When they want to rock, they rock, and when they want to jam, they tear the roof off... the Jimmy Swift Band kicks your ass, plain and simple... watch out for JSB and wear protection when they come to town."
