SUMMARY:St Paul's presents - Reid Jamieson Band
DESCRIPTION:REID JAMIESON & CVM\n– singer songwriter duo – Vancouver BC \n \n\n“Gorgeous\, sun-struck acoustic soul”- Globe & Mail \n“Prepare to be surprised” – Vancouver Province\nLISTEN: Best of Reid Jamieson: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2N3lamQmYCqb5V8RqD9phs?si=21bfb57d256740a3 \nABOUT: Vancouver’s Reid Jamieson & CVM are a vocal powerhouse making music that matters and moves us. With an incredible voice\, spirited guitar playing\, and a magical way with melodies\, Reid is that rare songbird whose originals are every bit as compelling as his interpretations. In years past\, Reid was a regular on CBC’s Vinyl Café\, has recorded with Cowboy Junkies\, and performed with Mary Margaret O’Hara\, members of Blue Rodeo\, Be Good Tanyas and more. A classic introvert/extrovert combo\, Reid shines alongside his saucy wife and long-time songwriting partner Carolyn Victoria Mill\, where their unique harmonies and swapping of lead vocals make for an eclectic\, entertaining\, and sometimes heartbreaking variety show. Together they won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and wrote their way in to the Vancouver Folk Festival by winning 1st place in their Pickin’ a Folk Star contest. Tireless promoters of voting\, equality\, and love\, they thrive on creating intimacy\, causing tears and laughter in equal measures. Their latest all original album ‘Me Daza’ was recorded in Ireland with producer Kieran Kennedy (Maria Doyle Kennedy) which features the posthumous vocals of Fergus O’Farrell (Interference\, Once). There is nothing traditional about the record – or this dynamic duo. 2023 saw them launch an all original folk opera about Pigeons(!) and the causes of housing insecurity\, premiering it at the Vancouver Fringe Fest where they took home the prestigious Social Impact Award. Following up on tributes to Leonard Cohen\, John Lennon\, 50/60s era gold\, and what could be mistaken for a simple holiday record\, they are currently getting ready to release the first ever tribute to Buffy Sainte-Marie. You won’t want to miss what they do next…\nVenue: St Paul’s United Church 2410 Malaview Ave\, Sidney BC V8L 2G3\nFree parking on site and wheelchair accessible.\nDoors open at 1:30pm\nTickets: $25. Seniors & Students under 18yrs: $20.

SUMMARY:James Keelaghan & Jez Lowe
DESCRIPTION:A chance-meeting at a folk festival almost thirty years ago has led to a musical collaboration between two singer-songwriters\, James Keelaghan from Canada and Jez Lowe from England\, that has seen them play to audiences around the globe\, from North America to Australia and to Europe\, and which continues to this day. \nEvery couple of years they each take a break from their busy solo careers to share stages and songs and inspire each other with their voices\, their wit and a friendship that lights up each performance. The pair share an Irish heritage that certainly informs their writing and brings with it an enthusiasm for boundary-breaking and story-telling in song that is both infectious and enthralling\, timeless and contemporary\, unpredictable and yet focused. In other words\, they surely and inevitably bring the best out of each other. \nJames Keelaghan\nCalled Canada’s finest singer-songwriter by one of the most respected and lauded music journalists of the last 50 years\, James Keelaghan is an artist who has proven to be a man for all seasons. As the calendar pages have turned\, for almost a quarter of a century now\, this poet laureate of the folk and roots music world has gone about his work with a combination of passion\, intent and intensity\, and curiosity. Fusing his insatiable appetite for finding the next unique storyline Keelaghan also forges his pieces with brilliantly defined craftsmanship and a monogrammed artistic vision\, making him one of the most distinctive and readily identifiable voices of not only the Canadian scene\, but as a member of the international singer-songwriter community.\nhttps://keelaghan.com/ \nJez Lowe\nOver the past four decades\, Jez Lowe has been one of the UK’s busiest singer-songwriters\, playing for audiences the world over\, either solo\, (with guitar\, cittern\, mandolin and harmonica accompaniment)\, or with his long-time band The Bad Pennies. He has taken his songs of North-East England to concerts and festivals all across Europe\, Canada and the USA\, as well as building a sizeable following in Australia and New Zealand. Along the way he has gathered a long list of awards and nominations\, including from the BBC Folk Awards and the Sony Radio Awards. His pace and enthusiasm for writing\, performing and touring shows no sign of waning.
