The Saskatoon Fiddle Orchestra will bring its “Kitchen Party” Show to the Saville Theatre on Satuday evening, April 16. The community-based group specializes in high-energy old-time music, including jigs, reels, polkas and waltzes, played on fiddle, guitar, banjo, piano, flute, accordion, washboard, tin whistle, and spoons. The concert is guaranteed to set your toes tapping and to put a smile on your lips. This kind of fun has no age limit. The show will feature a dozen musicians, aged 18 to 60-something, who get a big kick out of keeping these old tunes alive. The last time the Orchestra played the Saville Theatre, the show was sold out, so get your tickets soon. The evening includes cocktails (cash bar) at 5:30 p.m., dinner at 6:30 p.m., and the concert at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 for adults, $25 for teens, and $15 for children aged 6 to12.

Annie Lou Thursday July 21st 2011 With a 2010 Juno nomination (Roots/Traditional Album of the Year – Group), a 2009 Canadian Folk Music Award nomination (Ensemble of the Year), and a tour of major Canadian folk festivals in 2010, Annie Lou is stepping up to make their mark among the best of Canadian roots ensembles. A mutual delight in the string band sounds and story songs of Southern old time music led Yukon songwriters Anne Louise Genest and Kim Barlow to join their considerable musical forces (Juno-nominated Barlow on clawhammer banjo/vocals and Genest on guitar/vocals) to form Annie Lou. The fine skills of Lindy Jones on upright bass and vocals, and Meredith Bates on fiddle round out the Annie Lou roster. Old time music is based in instrumental, vocal, and songwriting traditions. Annie Lou is faithful to these, with stringband instrumentation, rich vocal harmonies, and original songwriting by Genest and Barlow that is rooted both in the past as well as in the present of their chosen Yukon home. Annie Lou’s self-titled debut CD was produced by Bob Hamilton at Old Crow Recording in Whitehorse, Yukon, The band called on the talents of renowned old time fiddler Sammy Lind (Foghorn Stringband) to share fiddle duties, and the album includes some rousing double fiddle tunes. This superb acoustic album showcases outstanding songwriting and musicianship, and while drawing on the traditions of old time music, Annie Lou offers up an exciting new sound that sits comfortably alongside the best of contemporary Canadian roots music. Annie Lou’s lush vocal harmonies, beautifully crafted songs, and solid musical chops capture audiences when they take the stage. Their songs reflect the solitude and grit of their northern home and draw a straight line to other times and places. |
