Show 8 pm
Rickson Makwe is a singer, songwriter, and keyboard player. In early 1996 at the age of ten Ricky was injured during the war where his injuries left him blind. Even though Rickson has had some major hardships in his life, it is easy to see how truly passionate and determined he is to live life to its fullest and how he wants to share this zeal for life with others through his music.
Jeannine Guyot’s soulful and moving vocals, accompanied by artistic piano arrangements, are the essence of her performances. Her pure sound invites us to explore her authentic messages, speaking to us of francophone roots, culture and rural life as only a person from “Chez Nous” can.
Rickson and Jeannine are collaborating to bring you “Let’s Be Together”

The Small Glories
2021-12-03 20:00 - 22:30 | West End Cultural Centre, 586 Ellice Ave, Winnipeg, MB, R3B1Z8, Canada
The Small Glories at the West End Cultural Centre – Friday, December 3 @ 8:00pm

“Some things just work together: the Lennon and McCartney syndrome – and to witness a performance by The Small Glories is a rare opportunity to experience that indefinable quality that creates perfection…” — David Allen, Americana UK
Roots powerhouse duo The Small Glories are Cara Luft & JD Edwards, a musical tour-de-force partnership planted on the Canadian Prairies. Thrown together purely by accident for an anniversary show at Winnipeg’s venerable West End Cultural Centre, The Small Glories could almost make you believe in fate.
With a stage banter striking a unique balance between slapstick and sermon, these veteran singer-songwriters have a way of making time disappear, rooms shrink, and audiences feel as they are right there on the stage with the band — writing the songs, living the songs, performing the songs. It’s not uncommon for listeners to find themselves laughing, dancing, crying, or caught up in a good ol’ fashioned sing-along. “We’re folk singers, we try to write stuff that people can relate to,” says Edwards, whose looming stage presence and penetrating eyes find him the yin to Luft’s petite, snort-laughing yang. The material of a Small Glories concert is welcoming in terms of subject, folk-pop melody and instrumentation — songs of love, loss, and environment, delivered with soaring, interwoven vocals on various combinations of stomping clawhammer banjo, guitar and harmonica. However, a Small Glories performance is really about what happens in-between the songs. “The feedback we get from a lot of audiences is that it’s not just about the music for them,” Luft says. “It’s the whole package.”
On record, The Small Glories take the musical synergy honed from hundreds of shows together, and expand it into a new soundscape amplified by pounding drums and other textural embellishments which only reinforce the magic of Luft and Edwards’ innate chemistry — a chemistry labeled the “Lennon-McCartney syndrome,” by Americana UK, writing, “Some things just work together… to witness a performance by The Small Glories is a rare opportunity to experience that indefinable quality that creates perfection.” But don’t just take a European reviewer’s word for it — the band’s debut album, 2016’s Wondrous Traveler was also praised in Pitchfork by legendary American rock critic Greil Marcus, who wrote, “…in moments (The Small Glories) find the darkening chord change the best bluegrass — from the Stanley Brothers to Be Good Tanyas — has always hidden in the sweet slide of the rhythm, the tiny shift where the person telling the story suddenly understands it.”
It’s this yearning for understanding which finds the band often taking more time to introduce a song than it actually takes to play it. Luft, an original member of harmony sweethearts The Wailin’ Jennys and whose parents were folksingers influenced by the great activist Pete Seeger, knows that sometimes a song is all you need to bring people together. But often, it is more. “(Seeger) was the king of uniting people through singing,” Luft says. “There’s so much animosity and divisiveness in our world these days… as artists, part of our job is to somehow create unity.”
The Small Glories duplicate and reinforce each others’ many strengths and yet allow their distinct personalities to shine through, resulting in a live show that is as heartwarming as it is hilarious, as finger-picking proficient as it is relatable, and as Canadian as, well… it’s very Canadian. But that hasn’t stopped them from winning over audiences from Nashville to the Australian outback. Their highly anticipated sophomore album “Assiniboine & the Red” was released the summer of 2019 on Compass/Red House Records.

the Park Theatre Presents The Ripperz, with Special Guests, Daniel Greaves (of The Watchmen) & Nic Dyson

Friday, December 3rd, 2021
Doors 8 pm | Show 9 pm
Tickets $20 advance plus fees
The Ripperz quality as a live act and commitment to the stage is unquestionable. Their talent, passion, and laid-back style pull in new fans at each performance. The catchiness of their songs and the intimacy of their lyrics lead to full-blown crowd sing-alongs. The home-style brand of rock and roll varies from folk-tinged ballads to upbeat rockers with an occasional hard rock scream thrown in for good measure. Chris Sawatzky, Trav Warkentine
, Mark Wiebe , Dan Thomas
& Jordan Bissonette
Daniel Greaves is the Legendary frontman of the iconic band the Watchmen, which formed in 1988 and was an alternative rock staple.
NIc Dyson’s music is described as Acoustic Sad. It’s very finger-style based and lyrically very cathartic, therapeutic, confessional lyrics stemming from his personal experiences.

The Windups plus Silver Clouds
2021-12-04 21:00 - 2021-12-05 01:00 | Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club, 234 Main St., Winnipeg, MB, R3C1A8, Canada
Raw and ready pop rock n roll from some of Winnipeg’s finest veteran noisemakers!

“We don’t really rehearse much anymore; we usually just show up the night of a show and quickly discuss what songs we’ll be doing,” Rob Pachol announces to the “crowd,” which consists of a Winnipeg Free Press writer and photographer. “But in the name of journalism, we agreed to strap on our gear for this rare, momentous occasion.”
With that, Pachol, whose rock ‘n’ roll resumé includes stints in Soul Scatter, the Turnstiles and J.P. Hoe, nods at Morton (ex of Dementia 5 and Hot Tub), bass player Rej Ricard and drummer Jacques Dubois (both of Telepathic Butterflies), before launching into Heart of the City, first recorded by Nick Lowe in 1976.
Moments after the guys have finished tearing through Blondie’s Hanging on the Telephone, XTC’s Crowded Room and the Velvet Underground’s White Light White Heat, they plunk themselves down at the top of a wooden staircase and say, “OK, what do you wanna know?
Morton and Pachol met in 1996, when both men were employed at HMV Canada. One evening, Morton, a music savant who, when a scribe mentions he recently learned April Wine didn’t write its hit You Could Have Been a Lady, remarks, “Oh for sure; it was first done by Hot Chocolate,” invited Pachol over to watch videos featuring Dr. Feelgood, a British pub-rock outfit that formed in 1971.
“They were like nothing I’d ever heard — just this hard-driving, fast, R&B sound — and after a couple of songs I turned to Andy and said it would be so great to put together a band one day that sounded like them,” Pachol says.
Fast-forward to 2002; Pachol, who had some time on his hands following the dissolution of the Rowdymen, contacted Morton, who was also between bands, to see if he was still interested in “that thing we talked about six years ago.”
After enlisting Ricard and original drummer Dino Desrochers, the guys holed up in Pachol’s basement, where they taught themselves close to 150 songs from a mix of genres, including the British Invasion (the Kinks’ Till the End of the Day), glam rock (T. Rex’s Telegram Sam) and new wave (Devo’s Uncontrollable Urge).
Christening themselves the Wind-Ups – a nod to the Dr. Feelgood ditty She’s a Windup — they made their debut in front of a sold-out house at Times Change(d) High and Lonesome Club in February 2003. (Pachol credits Desrochers, who eventually left the band to devote time to his young family, for being able to pack a room “with one call.”)
“It was such a ridiculous concept: ‘Hi, we’re going to play all our favourite songs — few of which you’ve probably heard of,’ that we didn’t think anybody would even get it,” Pachol says with a laugh.
“But because there was a familiarity to the stuff — after all, even punk is based in rock ‘n’ roll — it wasn’t like, ‘What is this alien music we’re listening to?’” Ricard chimes in. “It was more along the lines of, ‘Wow, these guys are a rock ‘n’ roll band, and we haven’t seen a good, old-fashioned rock ‘n’ roll band in a long time.’”
Word about the Wind-Ups’ tight, live performances and exquisite taste in song selection spread like wildfire. Before long, the guys were being booked into watering holes all over the city. (Ricard says one of the biggest compliments they received was when one of their fans put together a home-made, double-CD comprised of songs they regularly perform, as recorded by the original artists.)
“That first couple of years we were playing every week or second week, at least, and pretty soon, we started getting calls to open for the likes of Teenage Head and White Cowbell Oklahoma,” Pachol goes on, noting there were also a few “strange shows” along the way — like the time they played for a group of bikers at a bonfire/barbecue, west of the city.
“They were OK with our classic-rock stuff like Alice Cooper and the Who, but most of the time they were laughing at us, wondering why we were wearing suits and ties.” (For the band’s 10th anniversary show, during which they performed Iggy and the Stooges’ 1973 release Raw Power in its entirety, Morton did away with his usual, buttoned-up look, taking the stage sans shirt, a la Iggy Pop, the Stooges’ frontman.)
On occasion, the Wind-Ups get asked to play special events such as wedding receptions, but because they don’t ordinarily sing about brown-eyed girls, nights at the YMCA or raising a little hell, that’s generally not a good fit, they caution.
“We never tailor our sets, and it’s not like we’ve ever played anything close to a waltz, but every now and again we’ll get a punk-rock bride and groom wanting to hire us,” says Pachol, who is equally adept at the ukulele as he is his Fender Telecaster Thinline. “Sure, it works for some of the people in the room but usually not for grandma and grandpa, so when we do that sort of thing, we always feel like we’re ruining it for somebody.
Fourteen years in — they chuckle when they are reminded that’s four years longer than a certain band from Liverpool stayed together — the guys, who range in age from 43 to 55, don’t see any reason for calling it a day any time soon.
“Maybe there’s an advantage to being a cover band, in that if we’d been writing originals all this time, we might not still be together,” Ricard says, laughing when Morton interrupts, stating, “Yeah, we would definitely hate each other by now, if that had been the case.”
“But because it’s always been more of a side project for us, it’s pretty low maintenance,” Ricard goes on, explaining all four have careers outside of the band. “Plus, we actually enjoy hanging out together. It’s not like we ever don’t like seeing each other.”
That said, John Scoles, owner of Times Change(d) High and Lonesome Club, recommends if you haven’t experienced a Wind-Ups show yet, don’t put it off much longer.
“All four members are extremely talented and dedicated and that they can keep up the precision and quality of work they deliver is stunning,” Scoles says, guesstimating the band has appeared at his establishment some 60 times through the years. “I say it all the time; the more young musicians that get out and see the Wind-Ups play before they stop playing — and sadly, there will be a day they stop — the better the rock ‘n’ roll scene Winnipeg is going to have, over the next generation.”
Scoles, who lists Angel City’s Take a Long Line and the Young Canadians’ Hawaii as his favourite Wind-Ups selections, was never concerned about booking a true, blue rock ‘n’ roll act into his venue, which is still primarily a showcase for blues and roots-rock acts.
“It’s somewhat coincidental because when I started booking the Wind-Ups, I was just starting to change the focus of the room from a certain type of music to good music, period. Cause at the end of the day, we’re a bar… we’re a party.”
One other thing; Scoles will readily debate anybody who refers to the Wind-Ups as Winnipeg’s best “cover” band.
“Never mind cover band,” he says. “At any given moment during a Wind-Ups show — if everything is lining up just right — they might just be the best band in the world, period.”
Pachol shakes his head and grins as he sums up his and his pals’ ability to play what they like, when they like.
“When you think about it, no so-called ‘A-circuit band’ or ‘hits band’ would be able to get up and, in the same set, play Motörhead, the Flying Burrito Brothers and Chris Spedding. At the very least, it would be hard to find a place that would book them. But for whatever reason, we get away with it.”
———-
Silver Clouds is the latest offering from Winnipeg’s always vibrant alt-rock scene, comprised of veteran players Rod Slaughter (Duotang, Novillero), Dave Berthiaume (Novillero), Sean Stevens (Novillero, Transonic) and Steve Payne (Boy, Transonic). The band’s self-titled debut album will be released June 26 on Disintegration Records, with the first single, “Minor Hesitation,” available now on all digital platforms.

In the years between Novillero’s demise and Duotang’s reformation, Slaughter – the principal songwriter for both bands – kept building a cache of songs that otherwise had no home. Twelve of these pop-infused tracks of disaffection formed the basis of Silver Clouds, fleshed out with long time friend Berthiaume on drums, with subjects ranging from a once famous actor’s internal dilemmas (“Peter Sellers”) to post World War I border security (“Maginot Line”), and lots of songs in between about just getting on with it.

When asked about “Minor Hesitation,” Slaughter says, “‘It describes a feeling of apathy, paralysis, and a fear of letting go of the known. We feel it’s a rather fitting introduction to a band that, until the global pandemic, had remained in a state of self-imposed delay.”

Working with producer Cam Loeppky, Slaughter and Berthiaume were joined in the studio by Rusty Matyas (Imaginary Cities) Rej Ricard (Telepathic Butterflies) and Keri Latimer (Nathan), among others, to complete the album. Having enlisted Stevens on guitar and Payne on bass, Silver Clouds are greatly looking forward to getting on stage (when the time finally comes) to play these blistering rock ‘n roll rides in their natural element.

Greg Rekus and The Inside Job
2021-12-09 20:30 - 22:30 | Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club, 234 Main St., Winnipeg, MB, R3C1A8, Canada
Rekus’s passion for music is the driving force that keeps him constantly on the road, cranking out album after album of folk punk goodness!!

Rekus’s latest full-length album, Death and Taxes (Jan 2020), once again enlists the genius of John Paul Peters (Royal Canoe, Comeback Kid Propagandhi) as engineer/producer. Featuring local musicians Laura Payne on bass and back-up vocals, Erik Strom on drums, and Darryl Riley on Sax backup Vocal and penny whistle, the album boasts thirteen original tracks taking all of their writing and playing to new levels. His previous releases Sibling Cities 2017 and Punkoustic 2014 Captured the attention of punk fans on both sides of the Atlantic and Opened many doors in terms of touring, festivals, and other opportunities. The addition of the Sax kept things fresh and added a new vibe to an already solid rhythum section and cavalcade of catchy hooks, interspective lyrics and fun little parts that can be the sound track to any situation
During live performances, audiences are treated to an entertainer who treats the stage as his home. With high energy and infectious enthusiasm, Rekus has a natural ability to engage with a diverse assortment of crowds from around the world. His lyrics speak to common experiences, such as drinking in a favourite hometown bar, or the simultaneous joy and heartache of falling in love, but also do not shy away from making pointed political commentary, coloured with the anger and frustration that comes along with it. Delivering each line with a force that is rivaled by few other solo artists, Rekus emphasizes his words with every strum of his guitar, pounding the beat out on his custom-built stomp box.
Rekus’s passion for music is bursting at the seams. It is the driving force that keeps him constantly on the road, and cranking out album after album of folk punk goodness. His hard work has already gotten him to places he never thought attainable, and as far as he’s concerned, the only way from here is up.

The Treble has carved out a place for themselves within the wider Canadian music scene on the strength of their shadowy hook-laden alt-rock songs, reputation for delivering spectacular DIY content, and a drive to give back to the community that saw them through it all.
Their most recent project, Rivals, which saw the band collaborate with producer Ryan Worsley (Dear Rouge, Said the Whale) was released in early 2020. The band has received an exceptional amount of early attention for the project with its second single being added to Canada’s biggest radio stations. As a result of this, The Treble have the last few years touring and sharing the stage with some of Canada’s best and brightest including Mother Mother, The Glorious Sons, The Beaches, Dear Rouge, Grandson, Scott Helman as well as The Trews and Sam Roberts.

Mardi Jazz - ÉDITION SPÉCIALE FÊTES
2021-12-14 19:00 - 22:00 | Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain, 340 Provencher Blvd, WInnipeg, MB, R2H 0G7, Canada
Mardi Jazz – Édition spéciale

Depuis 1986, le Centre culturel franco-manitobain fait vibrer la culture jazz à Winnipeg au travers de son programme « Mardi Jazz ».

Après une pause forcée due à la pandémie, le CCFM relance le Mardi Jazz en présentiel et profite de la saison des fêtes pour vous proposer une édition spéciale avec l’artiste Zachary Rushing.

Rushing, originaire de Portland, dans l’Oregon, a commencé son parcours musical à l’âge de 6 ans et a débuté sa carrière d’interprète tôt à l’âge de 12 ans. Bien qu’il ait grandi dans la musique classique, le théâtre musical et la musique contemporaine, Rushing a rejoint la faculté de musique Desautels pour apprendre et se perfectionner dans le jazz.
Sa première inspiration était Sarah Vaughan au tout début du secondaire qui a guidé sa destinée musicale et son choix de carrière. Au delà de sa profession, le Jazz rythme la vie de l’artiste et lui a ouvert plusieurs portes sur le plan personnel également.

Si vous voulez connaitre davantage sur l’artiste, rien de mieux que de venir assister à son concert dans la belle salle d’Antoine Gaborieau qui s’est offerte un relooking!
Mesures COVID: Merci de vous munir de votre preuve de vaccination et de votre carte d’identité pour les montrer à l’entrée.

Au plaisir de vous y rencontrer!

The Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra presents Music from A Charlie Brown Christmas
2021-12-15 19:30 - 22:00 | West End Cultural Centre, 586 Ellice Ave, Winnipeg, MB, R3B1Z8, Canada
The Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra presents Music from A Charlie Brown Christmas – December 15, 2021 at 7:30pm

This encore performance (from our 2019-20 season) is a special request of the WECC and has become a holiday tradition in Winnipeg. The entertaining program, narrated by Quinn Greene and featuring vocalist Jayme Giesbrecht, is our own WJO version of the famous Charlie Brown Christmas story.
—–
With a voice that stirs your soul, and a conviction behind the music, Jayme Giesbrecht encapsulates soul and gospel music with every note she sings.
With a 20 year career already on her resume, Jayme has grown into the “big voice” that brought her so much attention as a child. From church stages, to exploring different styles of music with various musicians, taking on techniques in rock n’ roll, soul, and jazz added to her full voice.
Her repertoire has broadened from traditional gospel spirituals and hymns, to soul classics from Aretha Franklin, Etta James, and Tina Turner, and jazz standards which she performs with her accompanist Jonathan Alexiuk. With the help of some amazing musicians including Alexiuk, and blues man JP Lepage, Jayme was able to record and release her debut album “To Keep You From Falling” in 2016. (Produced by John Paul Peters at Private Ear Recording, Winnipeg).
That album was sponsored by Golden West, a broadcasting company that Jayme is closely connected to, as she co-hosts the morning show on CFAM 950, for the past 9 years. She has become well-known “on the air” as a knowledgeable advocate for Manitoba musicians, as she interviews new artists every week to highlight on the weekly program “Made in Manitoba”.
Becoming a frequent flyer with pianist Jonathan Alexiuk led Jayme to more opportunities, eventually gaining her access to the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra stage, where she performed as a guest in their “Charlie Brown Christmas” special. She has also connected with Blues Man and Member of the Order of Canada, Big Dave McLean, and has performed multiple shows with him. She has also opened for April Wine, The Beach Boys, and popular gospel groups like The Booth Brothers, Legacy Five, and Sweet Presence. Her most recent performance highlights include collaborating and singing back-up vocals for two-time Grammy-nominated Hip-hop artist Fresh IE at a Juno celebration concert in 2020, and most recently at a Canada Day livestream on Investors Group Field, the home of reigning Grey Cup Champions, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
With the local success of her debut album, Jayme is set to release a second album in the jazz/gospel style in 2020, and plans to tour the album in Canada. In the meantime, Jayme regularly performs at various jazz and gospel venues in Southern Manitoba.

New York City policeman John McClane (Bruce Willis) is visiting his estranged wife (Bonnie Bedelia) and two daughters on Christmas Eve. He joins her at a holiday party in the headquarters of the Japanese-owned business she works for. But the festivities are interrupted by a group of terrorists who take over the exclusive high-rise, and everyone in it. Very soon McClane realizes that there’s no one to save the hostages — but him.
In 2010, Die Hard was voted as “The Greatest Christmas Film of All Time” by Empire.
