Deerhurst Resort brought the Jim Cuddy Band back again late last year as the highlight of their holiday season special event series. The sold-out soirée featured top-notch catering for a variety of corporate parties, large and small, great dining for current resort guests (overwhelmingly Jim Cuddy fans), topped by a dynamic evening of great music by great musicians.
Jim Cuddy Rolls Through Kingston
March 28th, Jim Cuddy brought his band to the Grand Theatre in Kingston on their Constellation Tour. We know Jim as one of the founding members and creative forces behind Blue Rodeo, but he doesn’t sit idle between Blue Rodeo projects. Jim’s style of storytelling in his music makes him one of Canada’s best known songwriters. Constellation is Jim’s fourth solo album and many of the songs were introduced early in the concert. The title track is about a friend of Jim’s who passed away recently. It deals with some of the more sobering aspects of life, such as our own mortality.
Barney Bentall Still Gives us Something to Live For
Barney Bentall recently played the Azrieli Studio as part of the NAC Presents program, an initiative aimed at bringing Canadian talent, emerging or established, to the national stage. Donning his harmonica, guitar and hat, he was joined by two talented musicians, Eric Reed on mandolin/guitar and Anne Lindsay on violin.
