C. R. Avery is coming to Glenn Gould Studio on Thursday, February 25. This guy is something else: his bio calls him a “one man hip hop beatbox blues harmonica americana iconoclast,” and when Tom Waits gave C.R. a listen he said “blowin’ my mind.” Avery impressed this year at the Hillside Festival in Guelph and a new album, The Great Canadian Novel, is due out in 2010.CONTINUE READING >
Alex Lifeson and Bubbles perform “Closer to The Heart” at Massey Hall in January.
Following their sold out Massey Hall debut last January, the boys from Sunnyvale Trailer Park are returning to share their tales of misadventure and underachievement. That’s right: we are thrilled to announce that the Trailer Park Boys themselves are bringing their side-splitting, daring, live theatre show back to Massey Hall on Wednesday, March 10 at 8 p.m.
This encore appearance follows closely on the heels of the much anticipated release of their second feature film, Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day, in September 2009. Now in its seventh season, Showcase television’s hit show has made Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles famous beyond their wildest dreams.
Tickets go on sale to FriendsFirst members on Wednesday, November 18 at 10 a.m., and to the general public on Saturday, November 21 at noon.
