The Fortunate Ones
2016-03-20 19:30 - 21:00 | The William Glesby Centre, 11-2nd St NE, Portage la Prairie, Mb, R1N 1K8, Canada
Fortunate Ones is a Canadian pop-folk duo made up of singer/guitarist Andrew James O’Brien and singer/pianist/accordion player Catherine Allan – endearing audiences with wide-eyed energy, pragmatic optimism, and an earnest mission for connection.
Andrew and Catherine grew up on opposite sides of the island of Newfoundland – Mount Pearl and Corner Brook respectively. It was in St. John’s where the pair met and began to sing together. One night in 2010, Andrew heard Catherine sing harmony with her brother at a private gathering in downtown St John’s. He had to sing with her. The next day he got up the nerve, left her a note, she acquiesced, and within 48 hours they were singing together on stage. While it was a road from that evening to the formation of Fortunate Ones in 2013, their beginnings are in keeping with one of the core messages they carry. That sometimes the most important decision you can make is to just say YES.
From a musical family, the Allan home was a constant eclectic flow of instruments, singing and the stereo. Catherine studied classical piano, taught herself guitar in secret, and discovered the accordion by chance when her brother brought one home over Christmas in 2011. Musical exploration was the norm. After moving to St. John’s, Catherine’s induction to the East Coast music scene was rapid – performing with Andrew, recording and touring extensively with JUNO award-winning songwriter Amelia Curran, and appearing at festivals with Curran and East Coast songwriter Don Brownrigg.
Andrew James O’Brien launched his music career with a well-received solo album Songs for Searchers (2011) – nominated for Best Pop Recording at the 2012 East Coast Music Awards. He toured heavily in Canada and the UK, opening for artists such as Sharon Shannon and Paul Brady. Catherine accompanied him. It was on a UK tour that they realized the direction their collaboration was taking. The appreciation shown by UK audiences bolstered the pair’s sense of purpose. Their music began to evolve to represent both of their sensibilities, skills and sounds.

Marianas Trench: Never Say Die Tour
2016-03-25 19:00 | MTS Centre, 300 Portage Ave, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 5S4, Canada
The tour is in support of their newly released fourth studio album Astoria, which debuted at #2 on the Canadian SoundScan charts and roared onto the American Top Current Albums Chart at #33. The release echoes one part 1980’s fantasy adventure film and one part classic Marianas Trench and American fans are currently enjoying this experience first-hand as the band embarked on their U.S tour last week.
Known for their infectious sound and energetic performances, Marianas Trench have secured a spot as one of Canada’s most successful bands of the past decade, building their name on relentless touring and engagement with their fans. Since their 2006 debut album Fix Me, Marianas Trench have had two certified Platinum albums (Masterpiece Theatre and Ever After) and many chart topping hits including “Fallout,” “Haven’t Had Enough” and “Stutter.” In 2013, the band earned a JUNO Award for Group of the Year, adding that accomplishment to their multiple Much Music Video Awards. Ramsay also received a Grammy nomination in 2013 for co-writing and producing Carly Rae Jepsen’s breakthrough smash “Call Me Maybe.”

Metric & Death Cab for Cutie: Lights on the Horizon Tour
2016-03-27 18:45 | MTS Centre, 300 Portage Ave, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 5S4, Canada
Canadian indie rock band Metric and Atlantic recording group Death Cab for Cutie have teamed up for a 2016 cross-Canada co-headlining tour. The bands will embark on the “Lights on the Horizon” tour will come to Winnipeg on Sunday, March 27, 2016.
After a resounding and relentless international tour schedule in support of PAGANS IN VEGAS, Metric returns home to Canada for the first run of national shows since the release of their latest album this September.
“We are so happy that everything fell into place for Death Cab For Cutie and Metric to do this tour of Canada together,” says Emily Haines. “Nick Harmer and I worked on creating the poster artwork together, and while we were on the phone riffing on imagery and ideas for what to call the tour we decided on Lights On The Horizon. I was standing on a rooftop at sunset looking out at the Statue of Liberty at the time and it just felt right. The name expressed our shared desire to focus on what lies ahead, creatively and personally, so we went with it.”
“We’re so excited about touring with Metric, a band that we’ve been fans of for a long time, and also to be playing shows in a number of Canadian cities that we’ve never been to previously,” says Death Cab for Cutie singer-guitarist Ben Gibbard.
Death Cab for Cutie are touring in support of their eighth studio album, KINTSUGI, which has been nominated for a 2016 Grammy Award in the Best Rock Album category. The album debuted at #1 on the Digital Album Chart and #5 on the Top Album Chart in Canada upon its release earlier this year.
Tickets go on sale Friday, December 11, 2015 and range from $36.00 – $60.50. [TICKETMASTER]
