Kailash Kher comes to Massey Hall on Thursday.
The lowdown on this week…
Bollywood sensation Kailash Kher’s Kailasa takes the stage at Massey Hall Thursday night – you can read all about it in the cross-post we featured from Mybindi.com yesterday. Meanwhile, Canadian blues sensation Downchild Blues Band celebrates its fortieth anniversary with a concert at Massey
Hall on Saturday featuring one of the original Blues Brothers himself, Dan Aykroyd. And next
Monday we have the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, with conductor Long Yu and piano soloist Yuja Wang, at Roy Thomson Hall.
Lyle Lovett – who is performing at Massey Hall on Friday – just released a new album at the end of last month called Natural Forces. The album includes a number of original tunes and some covers of numbers by the likes of Eric Taylor, Don Sanders, and Townes van Zandt. The BBC is
calling it the “most satisfying record he’s made in many a year” and “a treat from start to finish.” Lyle, we can’t wait to see you on stage crooning the artful sounds of Americana at its finest.
Speaking of stuff newly out, Jenn Grant (who plays at the Glenn Gould Studio at the end of this month) just released a video for her track “You’ll Go Far.” Jenn’s website explains that she travelled to northern Newfoundland to shoot these beautiful scenes. And while you’re on the Six Shooter YouTube channel, check out some live clips of Royal Wood – who plays the Gould in April – performing at Capital Music Hall here and here.
Stefania Paterak is the Programming Coordinator for Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall.
