  2. Karl Denson and Hllside

    Sam said that he will likely get Karl and the North Mississippi's to do a workshop together. Awesome- the workshops always rock

    The workshops are a very cool part of Hillside, especially when the artists click and magic happens.

    Was first introduced to Karl at Gratefulfest four years ago. They certainly had me moving from the start. How very appealing...

    That certainly was a fun set dancing in the sand at Nelson Ledges! He was playing with The Greyboy Allstars for that show. His band is also very groovy and will have people shaking their bones.

    Peace, Mark

    I can't believe that no one seems to care about this??? Does no one know one of the greatest Sax players of our day> he plays a mean flute too.

    I definitely care about this ... I'm a big Karl Denson fan! He's a great player and his band is uber-groovy!

    And not too long ago I came across a cool picture of Karl Denson that somebody gave me for my birthday almost 7 years ago. ;)

    If I am in Ontario for the Hillside weekend I will definitely be going.

    Thanks for sharing the news!

    Peace, Mark

    They had this on tap at Ebar in Guelph, where I drank it every Thursday and loved it for the last month. Loved it!

    Are the weekly gigs in Guelph and Waterloo now done? Thumbs down to me for not making it to any of these!

    Peace, Mark

  8. Peter Gabriel - Toronto June 22, 2011

    mmmmm, gabriel is tasty.

    I agree. And I told myself that I wouldn't miss him the next time he came around. But I can't justify the ticket price for that show in that venue. If it was at Massey Hall or at Shea's in Buffalo, yes.

    I think I'm going to pass on this one, at least for now.

    Peace, Mark

    This is SOOOO tempting with both RRE and Cornmeal on the bill. And with the possibility of a dance-off on the beach! :) But I am still leaning toward taking a Phishing trip. Having said that, no firm decisions have been made yet ... I still need to see what the plan is for the rest of my family and a few other friends before making summer festival plans ...

    Ottawa's local (ish) brewery- Beau's cleaned up at the Golden Tap awards... Best Microbrewery and best year-round beer! I agree 100% !!! SO effing tasty. I'm pretty sure its available at LCBOs all over Southern Ontario now.

    I saw this in the local LCBO and sampled it last night for the first time. SO effing tasty is right! My new favourite beer!

  13. Killer new band: The Sheepdogs

    When asked about playing a second set, they said something about the contract only calling for one set. They said they'd be playing a two set show the next night, and that they play 3 set shows sometimes. It just seemed odd to me for them to be done when they were done, given that the room was packed, the audience was craving more, and there was no other band following them. It appeared to be a good opportunity for the band to really impress. But I can appreciate that there were likely other factors at work that I was unaware of.

    added a ps

    Made a last minute decision to catch these guys on Friday night in Hamilton, and arrived 4 or 5 songs into their one and only set. I really enjoyed what I heard ... lots of songs and riffs that reminded of the Allmans, and solid vocals. But I was surprised and disappointed when they finished and did not play another set, given that it was before 1 am when they finished, and no band followed them. Strange.

    I'd go to see them again, and would love to hear them play a full two-set show.

    Thanks to mousepad for twisting my arm to go and for getting me to and from the show!

    Peace, Mark

    P.S. Thanks for posting the video clips Esau. The guy video taping was standing right next to me for that second video.

    I've had the pleasure of hearing two members Moonshiner's Daughter play at various times in the past few years, but I've never seen this band. I wish I could be at the Commercial Tavern for this afternoon show, but I will be on a bus to Toronto with a bunch of high school kids. It's been years since I've been inside the Commercial Tavern!

    I've had the Burt Neilson Band disc By The Door stuck in my car cd player for the past week, and have been thoroughly enjoying it. This morning I decided to google it just to see what came up and I came across this review written by Shain Shapiro in 2004 and posted on Jambase.

    BNB By The Door article

    Well said, Shain.

    I'm not sure what the possibilites are, but here's hoping for more than just the occasional BNB show in the future.

    Peace, Mark
