SUMMARY:PIERRE BENSUSAN - ONE GUITAR\, ONE VOICE - 50TH ANNIVERSARY  - KAMLOOPS
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 Show 730 Minors Allowed Accompanied by an Adult \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1281856751049 \nIf World Music means the fusion of traditional\, contemporary\, jazz\,\nclassical and pop music\, then Bensusan is one of the most eloquent\nWorld Music musicians of our time. A pianist in his beginnings then self-\ntaught on the guitar\, the originality of his style makes him one of today’s\ngreatest guitarists and composers for the instrument. Also called “The\nPrince of DADGAD”\, the Rose d’Or of the Montreux Festival\, elected\nBest Guitarist of World Music by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine!\nHis triple album “Encore” won the Grand Prix of the Independent Music\nAwards in the category Best Live Album… Since his first performances in\n1974 in France\, the guitarist has sold half a million albums and given\nthousands of concerts around the globe\, both solo and through\nnumerous collaborations.\nPierre Bensusan is an adventurer of unusual lands. His almost “sacred”\nmusic is an intimate and orchestral hymn\, a solo crossing on a multi-shell\nLowden guitar subjected to the natural elements with sound molecules\nand finger pulp on an ebony fingerboard for open tuning – an unique and\ntransparent technique\, under the fingers of an adventurous pilgrim.\n“Listening to Pierre’s music is rejuvenating. Beside his extraordinary\ntouch and tone\, the notes and melody appeal directly to the tender side\nof our human nature”\nSteve Vai \n“This is beautiful… Pierre is one of the GREATS!!!”\nTommy Emmanuel Cgp.\nWith only his steel-string-acoustic guitar – and sometimes his rich\,\naffecting voice – Mr Bensusan can disassemble your heart and hand it\nback to you restored and renewed. As he did to mine tonight. A true\ngiant.”\nJames Volpe Rotondi (former senior editor at Guitar Player Magazine) \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1281856751049

SUMMARY:Mother Sun with Sam Tudor at The Effie
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/mother-sun-sam-tudor-live-at-the-effie-arts-collective-tickets-1339184650339 \nMother Sun create melodic and adventurous rock n roll from the sprawling interior desert of Kamloops BC Canada. The four piece has shaped their sound around idiosyncratic songs while burrowing in realms of dreamy psych\, trippy folk\, motorik power pop and jazz influenced art rock. The band released their fourth record ‘Meadow 6’ via Earth Libraries and Divine Bovine Records in October 2024. Mother Sun toured Japan in support of the album in September and October 2024\, playing 14 shows in small venues around the country\, with Canadian tour dates to follow in spring 2025. The band has toured western Canada consistently since 2018\, appearing at numerous festivals such as Khatsalano (Vancouver)\, Big Winter Classic (Calgary) Between the Peaks (Rossland)\, and Treefort (Boise\, Idaho). The band has had several songs appear on Showtime TV series Shameless and shared stages with Dead Ghosts\, Vinyl Williams\, the Sadies\, the Breathing Effect and Ghostwoman. \nSam Tudor is both an individual and a project involving a group of friends in Canada. The underpinnings of the songs are genre-less; jazz players join forces with Eno inspired beats while acoustic guitars meet distorted synths. What unifies the project is Tudor’s distinct voice: a sandy\, melancholic narrator\, leaning in close with confessional and cathartic writing. The band’s live show is reverent and at times bombastic – a celebration of community done with an easy virtuosity born from years playing music together. The band’s latest release is their 2024 EP Hidden Minute. Their most recent full length album\, Two Half Words\, was released in 2021. Tudor and the band have toured in Canada\, Japan\, the United States and more. They have received coverage and acclaim from VICE Magazine\, KEXP Radio\, Exclaim Magazine\, CBC Afterdark\, The Vancouver Sun and others.
