Xavier Rudd: Bathing In Koonyum Sun

By A. King

Much like the ascending Koonyum Sun ushers in a new day in New South Wales, the record of the same name by world son Xavier Rudd carries a similar aura of refreshment, of rebirth.

From 2002’s To Let, his first studio album, through to 2007’s White Moth, Rudd gradually refined his globally-influenced collage of world music – a matchless mixture of reggae, funk, blues, folk, and nearly every other sort of song with the ability to stimulate people’s spirits. With 2008’s Dark Shades of Blue, though, the world was welcomed into a darker, more somber side of Rudd’s music. The album was indeed musically rich, with an international influence still inherent; however, the overall aura carried a different tinge compared to that of his previous work. As he explains it, his musical output at that time may have been a slight glimpse of what was soon to come.

Michael Franti & Spearhead

SATURDAY JULY 24th, 2010

The Vogue Theatre

Special Guest KO

For Tickets Click Here

All-Ages / General Admission / One Night Only/Special Guests TBA

Franti, who recently completed a tour with John Mayer, has long been known for his electrifying live show.  His latest CD release All Rebel Rockers, was the highest debut album chart position of his career and his multi-format hit, “Say Hey (I Love You),” the most commercially success song of his career. It produced his first Top 20 Billboard Hot 100 single, was certified digital platinum and the song’s video garnered nearly 5 million YouTube views.

Franti’s performances are marked by a genuine openheartedness, a commitment to communication and a greater sense of community. “The people who come to see us seem to love the experience of the party as well as the message and the music,” he says.

Michael Franti is the creator and lead singer of Michael Franti & Spearhead. The Bay Area born Franti has been bringing our world exceptionally powerful, deeply felt music in a wide range of genres for twenty years. From the intense punk rock of the Beatniks, to the deeply political rap he made with the Disposable Heroes of Hypocrisy to his joyful and meaningful modern soul music with Spearhead, and now as Michael Franti & Spearhead, this still young man has released an impressive series of recordings that have vividly reflected his status as a musical citizen of this world.

Franti has re-entered the studio and is slated for a new release in 2010.

In A Bigger and Better Venue

Title: An Evening With Keller Williams Friday April 16th, 2010.

Location: The Biltmore Cabaret

Link out: Click here

Description: Keller Williams has built a career on his uncanny ability to captivate a packed house-all by himself. He’s been called a “one-man band.” A “solo cult-hero.” “Music’s mad-scientist.” All of which are clever labels for what seems to be an essential truth: On stage, Keller Williams works alone.

For over 100 shows a year, Williams has proven himself to be a master of improvisational performance art. In his one-man show, he pads barefoot from guitar to bass to percussion stations, using looping effects-and enough instruments to stock a strip-mall music store-to layer sound atop sound until the stage swirls with a full-blown composition.

While Keller has made liberal use of technology throughout his career, he knows that musicianship is ultimately a human undertaking. With a seemingly unquenchable thirst for all genres of music – bluegrass, jazz, and-who’d-a-thunk-it-hard rock – occasionally Williams puts unyielding faith in a backing band. Whether performing with solo or with Grateful Grass, Keller, Moseley, Droll and Sipe or Grunge Grass (just a few of his “band” projects), Keller Williams knows best how to please a music hungry crowd.

$25.00 Tickets available at All Ticketmaster Outlets, Charge-By-Phone 604-280-4444 or Pick em up at Highlife Records on Commercial Drive.
