Martyn Joseph has been described as one of Britain’s most charismatic and electrifying performers! This gifted singer-songwriter’s 20 year career has embraced some notable achievements, including 5 top 50 UK chart positions. His lyrical narratives often feature protests against injustice and inhumanity. He is…one of the most powerful performers I have ever seen.

Winners of 2005 Juno Award for Best Roots/Trad Group category, The Wailin' Jennys have become a hit on the Canadian music scene. This indeed is “the sound of voices three”, with soprano Ruth Moody, mezzo Nicky Mehta, and alto Annabelle Chvostek. Their masterful three-part vocal harmonies are haunting and the songs are an informed mix of original and traditional tunes of various roots styles. They are also impressive multi-instrumentalists and in demand across North America – enjoy!

Singer-songwriter Michael Johnston will open.

A very much anticipated welcome back to Oscar Lopez, after a lengthy musical hiatus; he has won the 2005 Juno Award for his album My Destiny, with his hot trio of Manuel Jara (rhythm guitar), and Hugh McMillan (Spirit of the West) bass, steel guitar. The Latin groove in his music is one of the most important elements for the Chilean born Lopez. This will be one hot January night!

Ember Swift

www.emberswift.com

Ember Swift is one engaging singer-songwriter and together with multi-instrumentalist Lyndell Montgomery they combine folk, jazz, funk, and world music beats. They travel fluidly between genres and easily shrug off any attempts to cloak their music in any style category. Ember’s songs shed light on many topics from globalization to food politics!

Nathan Rogers (son of late Stan Rogers) will be the guest tonight, putting out his own brand of fusion folk; this new age troubadour has some great songs and stories.

Chuck Brodsky

www.chuckbrodsky.com

Chuck Brodsky is a gifted musical storyteller, with a dry, barb-witted social commentary. His groove-oriented strumming and finger picking draws on influences from the mountains of western North Carolina, where he now lives. His song “Radio” was used in the 2003 movie, Radio. One of the finest songwriters in the US, his latest CD, Colour Came One Day, produced by J.P. Cormier, is a folk classic!

The Bills
Sat, Apr 29th, 2006 at 8:00 pm
Tickets $25 in advance,
$28 at door


www.thebills.ca

Without a doubt, folk music’s most inventive, talented, and entertaining acoustic act in Canada. Two time Juno nominees, The Bills draw inspiration from a mélange of European stylings, the rhythms of Latin America, Romany, and traditional styles from across North America.

Special guest tonight is the Marc Atkinson Trio – the first group in the history of the Montreal Jazz Festival to perform in two consecutive years! Expect Gypsy Jazz, Brazilian Choro Music, Chopin…an exciting night to end our 20th season!
