“Come to the Music” May 24, 25, 26
May 14, 2013
It’s springtime, even in Grey and Bruce Counties and after a long, hard winter there is no better way to dispense with hibernation than to assemble neighbours, friends and family in support of the local choir and take in the annual spring concert. As in previous years, the Paisley Concert Choir, under the skillful direction of Linda Finlay and alongside the confident accompaniment
of Jane Siegel, has been hard at work knocking out a new repertoire of songs (along with some old favourites), designed to entertain and delight area residents over three magical, musical evenings.
“Come To The Music” will be joyfully presented Friday, May 24 in Hanover, Saturday, May 25 in Owen Sound and Sunday, May 26 in Paisley. All concerts start at 7:30pm.
True to the choir’s now 12-year tradition, audience members will be treated to an engaging blend of spiritual, sacred, popular and secular pieces. A particular stand out in this spring’s presentation will be Old Man River from the 1927 Hammerstein/Kern musical: Showboat. This musical lament contrasts the struggles and hardships of African Americans with the endless, disinterested flow of the Mississippi River and showcases a rare Bass solo. In keeping with
the Broadway selections, the choir will bring its specific brand of musicality to the 1935 Porgy and Bess classic aria: Summertime, long considered to be George Gershwin’s finest song. A jazzy swing permeates the evening via Cole Porter’s medley from the Great American Songbook combining You do Something to Me and Night and Day and with Irving Berlin’s popular Blue Skies. Written in 1926 as a last-minute addition to the Rodgers and Hart musical, Betsy, “Blue Skies” outshone the short-lived musical and became an instant success. With all three of these jazz standards, the tight harmonies provide a lively bit of tuneful beguilement.
With its rendition of Make and Break Harbour, the Paisley Choir pays homage to the late, great, Canadian singer/songwriter, Stan Rogers. This sorrowful song about the dying of fishing traditions lauds the importance of the one-piston inboard engines known as the “Make and Break” engine and used by the Atlantic Canadian fishing communities. Make and Break Harbour is one of Stan’s classic folk songs and one the choir hopes its sensitive efforts does justice.
Along with the traditional Bass/Tenor selection and the Alto/Soprano offering will be some purely fun and nonsensical pieces like This Song Not Valid Without Coupon – otherwise known as The Disclaimer Song – an infuriating compilation of rules, restrictions and legalese delivered in a lively and humorous manner and Give Me A Choral Medley – a comical nod to every choir’s penchant for singing predictable medleys.
All and all, the assembled result of this year’s concert; “Come To The Music” is guaranteed to inspire, uplift and rejuvenate – if only just for those few, weightless hours of melodic elevation.
Tickets may be purchased at the door, through choir members or through participating area merchants in all three concert locations. And don’t forget, the Paisley Concert Choir welcomes new members without audition. If you become mesmerized by the concert and feel a driving urge to participate, check out the choir website at: www.paisleyconcertchoir.com
Thursday, May 23rd Morgan Davis
May 13, 2013
One of our fav’s is coming back to get us feeling the groove. The bluesy groove that is. This seasoned performer always wow’s us with his talent. Multiple Maple Blues Awards and Juno Winner. For nearly four decades Morgan Davis has been on the road travelling across Canada, the United States and Europe.
“Morgan’s deep resonating voice and true-to-the-roots guitar work make a great combination. Anyone who appreciates straight-up blues delivered with taut, tough intensity and a good dose of humour will love Morgan.“Simply stated, for my money, he is one of Canada’s best bluesmen.” ~James Doran, Ottawa Blues Society~
Davis’ songwriting talent received international recognition when Colin James covered his searing ballad “Why’d You Lie”. Morgan’s passion for the Blues has never wavered… and he fully expects to be on the road for the rest of his life. Luckily for us he likes coming to Paisley real regular like. http://www.morgandavis.com/Tickets are just $15 + tx and are available at Back Eddie’s.
Reservations are doable – email or call during business hours. Doors open at 7, if you wish to come for dinner first please reserve. Nibbles will be available during intermission as well. Next show is June 21, Andrew Laviolette – more info coming soon in an email to you if you get on our list at backeddies@gmail.com.

Summerfolk Youth Showcase April 21
April 17, 2013
April 21st
This is a wonderful event – youth, 21 years of age and under vi for a spot on the stages of Owen Sound’s magnificent summer festival, Summerfolk, which happens on the 3rd weekend in August (16-18). The chosen youths get to perform solo and with other seasoned performers throughout the weekend. A great opportunity for exposure and experience which could truly help launch a career. Back Eddie’s proudly hosts one of the preliminary showcases where 3 acts are chosen. They go one to compete with 6 other acts chosen from two other venues, one last weekend in Owen Sound and one happening next weekend in Meaford. Good luck to all the contenders. There usually isn’t a lot of space at Eddie’s once the place fills up with relatives and friends of the performers, but we’ll try to squeeze in as many as possible. A donation towards Summerfolk would be greatly appreciated to help with costs. http://www.summerfolk.org/
