SUMMARY:Big Dave McLean
DESCRIPTION:Backed up by The Muddy-Tones\, Big Dave brings his legendary Mississippi and Chicago blues style to our stage!\n\n\nBig Dave McLean (born August 23\, 1952) is a Canadian blues guitarist\, harmonicist\, singer and songwriter. A veteran performer\, his work has had an influence on many western Canadian blues musicians\, including Colin James and Wide Mouth Mason. Notable McLean songs include “She’s Got the Stuff”\, “Kanadiana”\, “Up On Waverly”\, and “St. Mary At Main”. \n \nBig Dave McLean \nBorn \nAugust 23\, 1952 (age 68) \nYorkton\, Saskatchewan\, Canada \nOrigin \nWinnipeg\, Manitoba\, Canada \nGenres \nBlues \nOccupation(s) \nGuitarist\, harmonicist\, singer and songwriter \nInstruments \nGuitar\, harmonica\, vocals \nYears active \n1970s–present \nLabels \nStony Plain Records\, Black Hen Music \nBillboard noted that “Big Dave’s been the quintessential behind-the-scene bluesman. He’s done more to shape the Western Canadian blues scene than perhaps any other artist”. \n \nIn 2019\, Big Dave McLean was awarded the Order of Canada for his musical influence of Delta and Chicago blues and for mentoring musicians. \n \nLife and career	Edit \n \nMcLean was born in Yorkton\, Saskatchewan\, Canada\, to a concert pianist mother\, and a Presbyterian minister father. They later lived in Moose Jaw\, before relocating to Winnipeg\, Manitoba when Dave was at the age of 10. Introduced to the blues as a teenager via his older brother’s record collection\, the two siblings travelled to the Mariposa Folk Festival in Toronto in 1969. Whilst there\, John P. Hammond gave McLean an impromptu lesson on guitar playing\, to supplement the latter’s rudimentary efforts thus far at playing the harmonica. This meeting saw McLean learning how to play Bo Diddley’s\, “I’m a Man”. McLean much later recalled the incident stating that Hammond was “one of the most courteous gentlemen on this planet\, you know\, totally helpful\, inspiring”. \n \nMcLean starting playing at the Regina Folk Club\, and at the Winnipeg Folk Festival\, where he gained experience before releasing his debut album\, Muddy Waters For President (1989)\, which was recorded at the Bud’s On Broadway club in Saskatoon. McLean had previously opened for his musical hero\, Muddy Waters. \n \nThe follow up was For The Blues… Always (1998)\, an attempt to spread his music to a wider audience. The album was produced by Colin James and recorded in Vancouver\, with musicians James (guitar)\, Norm Fisher (bass)\, Eric Webster (piano) and Chris Norquiest (drums)\, all augmenting McLean’s work. The track listing included McLean’s cover versions of “Little Red Rooster” (Willie Dixon)\, “Just Your Fool” (Little Walter)\, “Dust My Broom” (Elmore James)\, “Rollin’ and Tumblin'” (Muddy Waters) and “Cakewalk Into Town” (Taj Mahal). The three-day recording’s budget was only $1\,600. In addition to performing and recording\, McLean spent around 20 years regularly doing odd jobs\, such as construction work\, to supplement his income. \n \nIn 1998\, he played in a duo with Tim Williams at the Calgary Folk Music Festival. McLean has also appeared solo at the Sasktel Saskatchewan Jazz Fest. \n \nBlues from the Middle (2003) was his second Stony Plains release\, and included guest contributions from Sue Foley and Duke Robillard. It was followed by Acoustic Blues (Got ‘Em From The Bottom) in 2008. \n \nFaded But Not Gone was released in 2014 on Black Hen Music\, and dealt with the aftermath of the deaths of McLean’s mother and brother. Recorded in Nashville\, the album contained contributions from Colin Linden\, Colin James\, and Kevin McKendree\, with Ann and Regina McCrary on backing vocals. \n \nIn 2015\, McLean starred in a low budget film documentary\, Ain’t About the Money\, exploring the trials and tribulations in performing the blues. \n \nOther ventures	Edit \n \nPatrick Friesen wrote Singer\, a docu-drama on Richard Manuel for CBC Radio Manitoba (1989)\, which featured McLean; as well as Voice\, a 1996 radio documentary (featuring McLean and Tracey Dahl)\, by CBC Radio Manitoba and produced by Andrea Ratuski. \n \nIn 1991\, Saturday Night Blues\, a compilation album of recordings by Canadian blues performers\, was released by Stony Plain Records and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It contained the Big Dave McLean and the Muddy-Tones track\, “T.V. Preacher Blues”. In 2006\, McLean contributed the track “Howlin’ for My Baby” to Saturday Night Blues: 20 Years\, a double compilation album also released by CBC. \n \nIn 2005\, The Perpetrators contributed to a tribute album to McLean\, entitled We Best Choose to Pick the Blues. \n \nAwards	Edit \n \nWhisky Award\, 2005 \nRunner-up for Singer Of The Year \nWestern Canadian Music Award\, 2004 \nOutstanding Blues Recording – Blues from the Middle \nPrairie Music Award\, 1999 \nOutstanding Blues Recording – For the Blues… Always \nGreat Canadian Blues Award\, 1998 \nJuno Award \n1992 (winner – Saturday Night Blues) \n2009 (nominated) \n2016 (nominated) \nMaple Blues Award nominations: \nAcoustic Act Of The Year\, 1998\, 1999\, 2000 & 2003 \nBlues With A Feeling Award\, 2007 (winner) \nToronto Blues Society Lifetime Achievement Award \nOrder of Canada\, 2019

SUMMARY:Diaphanie on the West End Neighbourhood Patio
DESCRIPTION:Diaphanie on the West End Neighbourhood Patio – Friday\, July 22\, 2022 at 8:00pm\n\n\nThe West End Cultural Centre will continue to require that patrons wear facemasks and show proof of vaccination for all events in the venue. \nWe will continue to evaluate this policy as circumstances evolve. \n—– \nBorn in the cool\, dry air of prairie autumn\, songwriter Heather Thomas’ introduction to folk music came at an early age. Diaphanie is a return to that beginning\, channeling Thomas’ first influences – from Joni to John Prine – to tell the well-trodden stories of old through a new lens. From unrequited love to living in the inner city\, Diaphanie draws new breath into the genre while remaining faithful to the folk tradition\, never shying away from truth or beauty. Diaphanie is heading into the studio in June\, followed by a busy summer including performances at the internationally acclaimed Winnipeg Jazz Festival\, and indie darling Real Love Summer Fest.

SUMMARY:Trampoline Sophomore Album Release Party with Lana Winterhalt
DESCRIPTION:Trampoline Sophomore Album Release Party with Lana Winterhalt\n\n\nTRAMPOLINE \n \nTrampoline is a dynamic\, anti-rock outfit. At the band’s helm is the idiosyncratic and ambitious songwriting of Michelle Lecnik (guitarist and vocalist) and the whip-smart interplay between Steve Martens (drums\, vocals) and Joey Penner (bass\, vocals). The musical arrangements are cinematic and percussive\, blending styles of punk\, indie rock and prog\, with a touch of folk and 90s rock nostalgia. Charged by the whims of satire\, playfulness and deeply heartfelt emotion\, Trampoline explores the highs and lows while making you bounce through it all.  \n \nIn february of 2019\, Trampoline released their debut full length album entitled ‘Happy Crimes’- a rock musical enterprise that explores the imagination and feelings of a man anticipating the apocalypse amidst the tensions of his nightmares\, political preoccupations and personal traumas. The album’s contents drew largely from Michelle’s life as inspiration. They recorded the album at Private Ear Studio with John Paul Peters and celebrated the release at the West End Cultural centre. Happy Crimes charted at #1 for multiple weeks on radio stations CKUW and UMFM in Winnipeg as well as Edmonton’s CJSR 88.5. Happy Crimes has reached #26 on the National top 50 Ear Shot chart and was ranked #74 for 2019. \n \nIn October of 2021\, Trampoline released their sophomore album entitled All the People in This House which they recorded with John Paul Peters over the course of 2020. The 11-track album explores themes of tyranny\, the degradation of nature and the collapse of western civilization in the wake of an emerging new paradigm of unconditional love and interdependence. The album plays with the perspectives of powerful figures from Thoth to Socrates to Erin Brockovitch to Ted Kaczynski to Doris Lessing to Judas Iscariot to comedian Jessa Reed. \n \nLANA WINTERHALT \n \nMulti-instrumentalist\, producer\, and indie-pop artist Lana Winterhalt delivers enigmatic and layered compositions inspired by junky breakups\, insomnia\, and true love\, all in an attempt to leave you feeling sparkly and weightless. Whether it be her vocals that float effortlessly with warm restraint or playful pop melodies featured on her debut full-length album If & When (2018)\, Winterhalt is experimental and bold yet warm and familiar. After releasing 3 unique projects over the course of the pandemic\, signing with High Priestess Publishing\, and participating in the Women in the Studio National Accelerator 2021\, Lana is ready to bring her perfected sound of grandiose harmonies and dusty guitars to fresh ears all across Canada and beyond. From heartbreak to pure bliss and quiet ambience to exploding soundscapes\, Lana Winterhalt’s artistry is the kind that sinks deep into your soul\, and intends to stay there.

SUMMARY:RED FANG With Bell Witch & Aerial Ruin: Stygian Bough and HELP
DESCRIPTION:Red Fang\n\n\nI like the idea of the record starting in a way that doesn’t make any sense at all for a Red Fang record.”\n \n \nThat’s vocalist/bassist Aaron Beam talking about “Take It Back\,” the opening track—or “sintro\,” part song\, part intro—of Red Fang’s fifth album\, Arrows.\n \n \n“It reminds me of a time before people listened to music digitally—and they listened to full albums\,” drummer John Sherman adds. “There were often cool\, spooky intros—like fuckin’ Dio albums and shit. There are some weird sounds at the beginning to get you in the mood before it blasts off.”\n \n \nAnd blast off it does. After the woozy opening salvo of “Take It Back\,” Arrows launches into a super-rock trifecta of what Red Fang does best—from Melvins-esque power dirge “Unreal Estate” into the anthemic title track into up-tempo banger “My Disaster.”\n \n \nYeah\, it’s been nearly five years since 2016’s Only Ghosts\, but your favorite beer-crushing\, zombie-killing\, air-guitar-contest-judging metal heroes are back in action\, doing what they do best—AND MORE. “This record feels more like Murder The Mountains to me than any record we’ve done before or since\,” Beam ventures. “It doesn’t sound like that record\, but Murder The Mountains was us doing whatever we wanted\, and that’s what this is\, too.”\n \n \n“We’re definitely exploring new territory\,” says guitarist/vocalist Bryan Giles. “And I’m very happy about that. I wouldn’t wanna be in this band if we kept doing the same thing over and over again.”\n \n \nArrows was recorded at Halfling Studios in the band’s hometown of Portland\, OR\, with longtime collaborator Chris Funk\, who produced Murder The Mountains and 2013’s Whales and Leeches. “Chris is a major influencer as far as the weird ambient stuff in between the songs and the creepy incidental noises within the songs\,” Giles points out. “I think he definitely creates an added layer of atmosphere that we wouldn’t have otherwise.”\n \n \nIn an effort to compound said atmosphere\, Sherman recorded some of his drum parts at the bottom of a pool. Luckily\, it was empty. “It’s actually a kick-ass skate pool\,” the drummer explains. “It was designed by Lance Mountain\, if I’ve got my facts straight. As soon as we decided to record there\, I knew I would end up in the pool at some point.”\n \n \n“The pool was a big part of the record\,” Giles confirms. “The drums sound so huge—it’s crazy. But I was terrified of the pool because there was no railing. Every time I walked by\, I was afraid of falling into it. So it was a love/hate relationship with the pool for me.”\n \n \nThe title Arrows was chosen through Red Fang’s patented and labor-intensive selection process. “Of all the titles that got thrown around\, that was the one everyone hated the least\,” Sherman explains. “Which is the case with every record\, pretty much.”\n \n \n“It’s actually the same way we decided on the band name\,” Beam chimes in. “It was the only one where someone wasn’t like\, ‘NO!’”\n \n \nArrows has the added bonus of a proper title track\, which is new territory for the dudes. “This is the first time we’ve named an album after a song that’s actually on the album\,” Beam explains. “We have other albums that are named after songs of ours that are not on those albums. So this time we’re really fucking with you because we didn’t fuck with you.”\n \n \nIt just so happens that the title track is also the lead single for the album—the general public’s first taste of fresh Fang. “There’s some songs that are pretty clearly Red Fang on this album\, and others that maybe go a little further outside of what we’ve normally done\,” Beam explains. “‘Prehistoric Dog’ was clearly the song to pick for the first single from the first record. ‘Wires’ was clearly the song to pick from the second record. I’m not sure there was a clear frontrunner on this album\, which could be taken to mean that either all of the songs are kind of mediocre at best or there are quite a few that could qualify as the lead single. So it came down to the ones that the dudes who are making the videos liked best.”\n \n \nWhich brings us to director Rob McConnaughy\, who created the pants-pissing clips for “Prehistoric Dog\,” “Wires” and many other Red Fang hits. “His way of presenting us really works\,” guitarist David Sullivan says. “That first video he did for us for ‘Prehistoric Dog’ gave us a big jumpstart as far as the band getting popular. And we love working with him.”\n \n \nOver the years\, McConnaughy has helped showcase an aspect of Red Fang that most metal and hard rock bands shy away from: Humor. “It suits our personalities\,” Giles points out. “I mean\, I don’t wanna fight people\, you know? If I look like I’m flexing\, they’ll be like\, ‘Oh\, I can take him.’ But if we’re making a joke\, maybe someone will wanna tell me a joke—or buy me a beer.”\n \n \n“If you were to have dinner with the band\, it would be closer to one of our videos than\, like\, us walking in slow-mo through the fog with a goat’s head\,” he adds. “I mean\, no one’s gonna believe that shit.”\n \n \nSimilarly\, fans might not believe what the song “Arrows” is partially about. “If you’re confused by some of the lyrics to that song\, that makes sense\,” Beam explains. “But it makes reference to meditation. I started meditating six years ago\, but I can only do it when I’m not feeling too anxious. So\, when I don’t need it\, that’s when I can do it.”\n \n \nElsewhere\, “Fonzi Scheme” was named after legendary Happy Days cool guy Arthur Fonzarelli—if only because it’s in the key of his famous catchphrase\, “Aaay.” Producer Chris Funk came up with the idea of bringing in string players from the Portland Cello Project to class up the track. “I would say laziness drove that decision\,” Beam deadpans. “We didn’t want to come up with any guitar melodies\, so we hired someone else to do it for us.”\n \n \nMeanwhile\, the opening riff of closer “Funeral Coach” was written 12 years ago. But it took until recently for the song to blossom into its full double-entendre glory. “I was driving around and I saw a hearse that said ‘funeral coach services’ on the back\,” Beam explains. “So the first thing that popped into my head was a dude with a headset and a clipboard going\, ‘Alright\, dudes—more tears! Five minutes in is when the tears are critical\, or no one’s gonna believe that anyone cares that this person died.’”\n \n \nIn a nod to tradition\, Arrows will be available in formats that include all the drums\, bass\, guitars and vocals. But it could’ve gone another way. “Our original idea was to release the album with no vocals or guitar solos\,” Beam explains. “If you want the guitar solos\, it’s an extra five bucks. If you want the vocals\, it’s an extra ten bucks. So basically people should feel lucky that we didn’t do that. You get to buy the whole thing all together.”\n \n \nRed Fang think of it as a generous display of gratitude toward their fans. “Yeah\,” says Sherman\, “Thank you for buying our album\, you lucky bastards.”
