SUMMARY:Martha Wainwright Performance
DESCRIPTION:Mary Winspear Centre Presents: Martha Wainwright with guest Brad Barr!\n20th Anniversary Tour of her Seminal Eponymous Debut Album \nMonday\, April 7\, 2025\nDoors 7pm\, Show 7:30pm \nTo celebrate the 20th anniversary of her seminal eponymous debut studio album\, Martha Wainwright announces the 20th Anniversary Tour\, hitting North America in the Spring of 2025. \nMartha Wainwright: On March 21st we will release the record on vinyl for the first time ever\, as well as digitally release unheard songs\, outakes and early material from that 10 year period of discovery that led to my first record. Along with the re-release there will be a tour (with more dates being announced soon)\, with a few great musicians\, where I’ll play the record in its entirety as well as a few new songs – there’s no 48 year old me without the 28 year old me! \nBrad Barr: Over a career that spans three decades\, Brad Barr has cultivated a uniquely visceral\, disarmingly intimate approach to the guitar. If you’re already a fan of the Montreal-based Barr Brothers \, or the legendary improv-rock trio The Slip \, then you already know — it’s futile to try and categorize his ongoing experiments in sound and songwriting

SUMMARY:Michael Kaeshammer Performance
DESCRIPTION:Mary Winspear Centre Presents: Michael Kaeshammer\nThursday\, March 27\, 2025\nDoors 7:00pm Show 7:30pm \nMichael Kaeshammer isn’t so much a piano player as a piano whisperer\, a master musician and songwriter able to coax dazzling\, kaleidoscopic sounds from his instrument in a way few can rival. That gift powers Turn It Up\, Kaeshammer’s superb 15th album\, broadly described as “eclectic yet accessible jazz-based pop” though\, as with all Kaeshammer’s music\, far more expansive than one simple description can possibly illustrate. \nAcross a brilliant\, globe-trotting career highlighted by nine tours of China\, three appearances at the Olympics\, and countless shows opposite international superstars\, the German-born\, B.C.-based Kaeshammer has electrified audiences with his indelible repertoire and consistently positive outlook on life which infuses his lyrics. “I am a very positive person\,” confirms the seven-time JUNO Award nominee and unabashed foodie\, who hosts cooking show Kaeshammer’s Kitchen on Vancouver Island’s CHEK TV. “I really love playing shows and being on-stage. If Turn It Up helps me to do more of that\, then I’m all in. Music is my favourite thing to do.”

SUMMARY:Tower Of Song: A Creative Tribute to Leonard Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Tower Of Song: A Creative Tribute To Leonard Cohen\nFeaturing Oliver Swain & Glenna Garramone with special guest Daniel Lapp\nSaturday\, March 22\nDoors 7:00pm Show 7:30pm \nWhen Leonard Cohen sang these words\, the Tower of Song was a metaphor for the inspiration that flows between songwriters\, each toiling away on their own\, but connected by their shared craft. Moved by this concept\, celebrated BC singer-songwriters Oliver Swain and Glenna Garramone collaborated to produce a project that is a dialogue through song and a tribute to the legendary songwriter.  Reimagining both rare and classic works of Cohen\, the duo have crafted a sound that resonates with both longtime Cohen fans and a younger audience. \nTower of Song began as a one-off tribute night for a packed house at Vancouver’s The Media Club\, and has since grown into a nationally touring folk duo.  Produced by Garramone\, she invited fellow Victoria musician (Juno nominated) Oliver Swain\, and the show gave Swain and Garramone the chance to grow their musical chemistry. Together as Tower of Song the two have arranged some of Cohen’s timeless songs beautifully\, for two voices\, string bass\, piano\, guitar and banjo.
