shitidiot Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) HALLOWEEN DANCE WITH THE SILVER HEARTS & SERENA JEAN BAND Markdale, ON –On Saturday October 29th 2011 The Silver Hearts, one of Canada’s best kept secrets and Serena Jean Southam, New York City’s country darling will share the stage for a Halloween dance at the Kimberley Hall with all proceeds going to support the Rotary Club of Markdale. For the past ten years, Peterborough's The Silver Hearts have drawn comparisons as unique as their music. With instrumentation consisting of drums, bass, guitar, piano, sousaphone, theremin, trombone, trumpet, harmonicas, and accordion, The Silver Hearts have established their own blend of burlesque swing, southern gospel, pre-war blues & field hollers. It is exciting music, rooted in tradition. The Silver Hearts began as a duo of Charlie Glasspool (Markdale) and Trevor ‘Tiny’ Davis in early 2000. Within a few weeks they had evolved into a quintet. Ensconced as the house band at the ancient, ramshackle tavern The Montreal House, the band attracted old friends and grew into an anarchic horde of over a dozen players and singers by the time of their first album. The Silver Hearts brought a dark, absurdist edge to their re-workings of blues, country and tin-pan-alley music, and tore into originals, standards and contemporary covers with equal ferocity and grim glee. The band celebrated its tenth anniversary by playing the Arabaki Festival in Sendai, Japan in May 2010 Serena Jean Southam returns for much anticipated visit to Grey County. The last time she visited in December 2009 she wowed the crowds and stole the show. She is the type of singer who probably belongs in Nashville but calls New York City her home these days. What Serena Jean does best is paint pictures with words offering an enlightening glimpse into a personal background. Serena Jean relies on a continuous sense of intimacy in her lyrical and musical approach, which give the songs a fitting home in a small club as much as on a much large setting. Southam’s voice is honeyed and punctuated with more than a few alluring cosmic winks. Her album Town & Country blends elements of traditional country with the melodic chops that allow breezy pop moments to rise up naturally. With this release she reaffirms her position at the forefront of the American roots music scene. " Serena Jean Southam is a mighty fine country-rockin' gal.... She and her cracking band will entice you to honky-tonk. This is the genuine hotness—with boots!" Sais The Village Voice(NYC) Every dollar this event makes goes to support the Rotary Club of Markdale. The Rotary Club of Markdale works hard and is involved in many of the important projects in our community. Event organizer & Rotarian, Eric Robertson, said “I think it’s important that we work together to improve the quality of life in our community. After joining Rotary last year I was amazed at how much The Rotary Club of Markdale does, such as The Markdale pond, Markdale Arts for Youth, The Street Frolic, fundraising for the medical center and helping local people in need. Before I joined Rotary I took it for granted that all these things happened, but now I know it is the result of endless hours of volunteering by Rotarians.†HALLOWEEN DANCE WITH THE SILVER HEARTS & SERENA JEAN BAND IN SUPPORT OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF MARKDALE WHO: The Silver Hearts & Serena Jean Southam WHAT: Fundraising Concert in support of The Rotary Club Of Markdale WHEN: Saturday, October 29th , 2011 – DOORS 8:00 SHOW 8:30 WHERE: Kimberley Hall, 235309 Grey Road 13, Kimberley 519-986-2811 TICKETS: $20 in advance. $25 at the door. *Tickets are available at the following locations: The Flying Spatula Diner, on Grey Road 4 in Flesherton 519-924-2424 by email at eric@greycountyrealestate.com ‎235309 Grey Road 13, Kimberley.
