PIERRE BENSUSAN - ONE GUITAR, ONE VOICE - 50TH ANNIVERSARY - KAMLOOPS
2025-07-05 19:30 - 22:00 | The Effie, 422 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, British Columbia, V2B 3G8, Canada

TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1281856751049
If World Music means the fusion of traditional, contemporary, jazz,
classical and pop music, then Bensusan is one of the most eloquent
World Music musicians of our time. A pianist in his beginnings then self-
taught on the guitar, the originality of his style makes him one of today’s
greatest guitarists and composers for the instrument. Also called “The
Prince of DADGAD”, the Rose d’Or of the Montreux Festival, elected
Best Guitarist of World Music by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine!
His triple album “Encore” won the Grand Prix of the Independent Music
Awards in the category Best Live Album… Since his first performances in
1974 in France, the guitarist has sold half a million albums and given
thousands of concerts around the globe, both solo and through
numerous collaborations.
Pierre Bensusan is an adventurer of unusual lands. His almost “sacred”
music is an intimate and orchestral hymn, a solo crossing on a multi-shell
Lowden guitar subjected to the natural elements with sound molecules
and finger pulp on an ebony fingerboard for open tuning – an unique and
transparent technique, under the fingers of an adventurous pilgrim.
“Listening to Pierre’s music is rejuvenating. Beside his extraordinary
touch and tone, the notes and melody appeal directly to the tender side
of our human nature”
Steve Vai
“This is beautiful… Pierre is one of the GREATS!!!”
Tommy Emmanuel Cgp.
With only his steel-string-acoustic guitar – and sometimes his rich,
affecting voice – Mr Bensusan can disassemble your heart and hand it
back to you restored and renewed. As he did to mine tonight. A true
giant.”
James Volpe Rotondi (former senior editor at Guitar Player Magazine)

Marc McLaughlin is a Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from rural Newfoundland and Labrador, now based in New Brunswick. Known for intricate melodies and introspective lyrics, he blends indie pop and rock with a thoughtful approach. His 2023 EP, I Don’t Want to Be Blue Anymore, earned critical acclaim for its eloquent songwriting and quiet depth. His latest EP, All I Can Say (February 2025), builds on his dreamy indie pop sound with aching sincerity. Marc has also shared the stage with and contributed to East Coast acts like Kelly McMichael, Weary, and Strongboy.
Jared Doherty is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Kamloops, British Columbia. Adopting a psych-pop songwriting style that simultaneously takes cues from 60’s/70’s folk rock (The Byrds, Joni Mitchell), more contemporary indie singer-songwriters (Mac DeMarco, Alex G), and with a touch of noisy experimentalism (Neutral Milk Hotel), Jared strives to create lush psychedelic soundscapes that breathe around his melodic songs. Jared’s debut 7 track album ‘Small Window’ came out November 16, 2018 on Kamloops-based Factotum Cassettes & Oddities. Lyrically, the album deals with an exploration of perception; how viewing things through a small window can be equal parts rewarding and limiting, melancholic and uplifting.

The Freudian Slips take off their human suits to reveal their inner clown for a night of short form improv comedy.

If you like Whose Line Is It Anyway or saying a movie title to describe your last bowel movement you’re in for a treat.

And if you’re someone that likes clowns or one of those people that like clowns you’ll be in good company. And if you hate clowns like my friend Robin, you still have to come to the show (if you’re my friend Robin).
