The ‘Anchor’s Up Tour’ will feature individual sets of music from three of Atlantic Canada’s most celebrated folk acts as they bring their songs and stories across the country.
Fortunate Ones is a JUNO-nominated contemporary folk duo from Newfoundland. With lush harmonies rising out of warm acoustic sounds, their latest album, That Was You and Me (2022), finds Fortunate Ones reflecting on life, loss, and hard times, and ultimately choosing love.
Old Man Luedecke is the recording and performing name of two-time JUNO award-winning songwriter Chris Luedecke. Known for his high energy banjo driven stompers, touching guitar ballads and dry humorous stories, Luedecke has been successfully exporting his brand of high and lowbrow roots for fifteen years.
The Once deliver thoughtful and playful songs soaked with the poetic charm and sunny sadness of the JUNO Award-nominated trio’s collective disposition. Well known for haunting interpretations of traditional music, The Once has bloomed a sound that represents their up-springing inner artistry while their roots dig ever deeper into their idolized island of Newfoundland.

Ariel Posen Down Town Tour
2022-11-14 20:00 - 23:00 | The Park Theatre, 698 Osborne Street, Winnipeg, MB, R3L 2B9, Canada
The Park Theatre Presents

Ariel Posen
w/ Special Guest Del Barber
Monday, November 14th, 2022
Doors 7 pm | Show 8 pm
Tickets are $25 plus fees in adv
Ariel Posen’s music occupies the space between genres. It’s a rootsy sound that nods to his influences — heartland rock & roll, electrified Americana, blue-eyed soul, R&B, Beatles-inspired pop — while still moving forward, pushing Posen into territory that’s uniquely his own.
Along the way, Posen had received standing ovations not only from his audiences but also from outlets like Rolling Stone, who dubbed him “a modern-day guitar hero,” Music Radar listed him as a fan-voted top 10 rock guitarist of the year and the Western Canadian Music Awards who nominated him for Breakout Artist of the Year in 2020 and 2021, as well as Rock Artist of the Year and Recording of the Year in 2022

Sookrams Double Feature Night -The Big Lebowski | Office Space
2022-11-15 19:00 - 23:00 | The Park Theatre, 698 Osborne Street, Winnipeg, MB, R3L 2B9, Canada
Sookrams Double Feature Night

🎥 🍺 Movies & Beer 🍺 🎥
Sookram’s Brewing Presents Park Theatre Movie Night!
We are back with another double feature movie night, presented by SOOKRAM’s Brewing, featuring the classic movies – The Big Lebowski at 7 pm and Office Space at 9:15 pm
The Big Lebowski (RT 83%) Cult Classic – When “the dude” Lebowski is mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski, two thugs urinate on his rug to coerce him into paying a debt he knows nothing about. While attempting to gain recompense for the ruined rug from his wealthy counterpart, he accepts a one-time job with a high payoff. He enlists the help of his bowling buddy, Walter, a gun-toting Jewish convert with anger issues. Deception leads to more trouble, and it soon seems that everyone from porn empire tycoons to nihilists wants something from The Dude.

Office Space (RT 80%) – In the Initech office, the insecure Peter Gibbons hates his job and the obnoxious Division VP Bill Lumbergh who has just hired two efficiency consultants to downsize the company. His best friends are two software engineers Michael Bolton and Samir Nagheenanajar, that also hate Initech, and his intrusive next door neighbor Lawrence. He believes his girlfriend Anne is cheating on him but she convinces Peter to visit the hypnotherapist Dr. Swanson. Peter tells how miserable his life is and Dr. Swanson hypnotizes him and he goes into a state of ecstasy. However, Dr. Swanson dies immediately after giving the hypnotic suggestion to Peter. Peter, in his new state, starts to date the waitress Joanna and changes his attitude which results in his being promoted by the consultants. When he discovers that Michael and Samir will be downsized, they decide to plant a virus in the banking system to embezzle fraction of cents on each financial operation into Peter’s account. However Michael commits a mistake in the software on the decimal place and they siphon off over $300 thousand. The desperate trio tries to fix the problem, return the money and avoid going to prison.

$15 admission includes a freshly brewed specialty beer for this night only, as well as admission, fees etc.

Come for the Beer, Stay for the Movies

Glenn Buhr became well known in Canada as co-founder with conductor Bramwell Tovey of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra’s New Music Festival. Buhr has toured Canada twice as a jazz artist, and has recently performed his 2nd Piano Concerto with the Esprit Orchestra and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. His Symphony no. 3 (a choral symphony) was premiered by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra in February 2008 with pop singer Sarah Slean as soloist. His full length ballet Beauty and the Beast has toured the UK (five times), Hong Kong, Japan and mainland China for a total of more than 200 performances.
—–
Duncan Mercredi is a Cree/Métis poet, writer and storyteller. A longtime resident of Winnipeg, he was born in Misipawistik (Grand Rapids) and grew up listening to his grandmother’s stories. His affinity for the wilderness and his sensitivity to the deep cultural prejudices of the broader culture inform his writing.
He has published four poetry collections, including Spirit of the Wolf: Raise Your Voice and The Duke of Windsor: Wolf Sings the Blues. His work has appeared in countless anthologies and periodicals including Prairie Fire and CV2, including the special joint issue ndncountry, published in 2018. He has appeared at storytelling and literary festivals across North America and for close to two decades he has been conducting workshops for school children all over Manitoba.

Scott Nolan is a songwriter, poet, multi instrumentalist from Winnipeg, Manitoba Treaty One Territory. His songs have been recorded by Hayes Carll, Mary Gauthier, Watermelon Slim, and Corin Raymond among others. He has recently produced albums for William Prince, Lynne Hanson, and Watermelon Slim.
In January 2015 he started writing poetry, approximately three weeks after his 40th birthday. The plan was to replace smoking cigarettes with walking eight to ten kilometres a day. He is a songwriter by trade and often discovered melodies and rhythms in the shuffling of his feet. He spends most of his time thinking about words, music, and language. Nolan found myself writing short poems based on people and places in his neighbourhood, trying to capture a bit of what was happening around him.
An older cousin of his discovered a gift and passion for poetry while serving time in Folsom State Prison. He was an early influence on him, sending books and letters from prison and encouraging the younger Nolan to read and write as often as possible. This relationship was the subject of a documentary last year called Visiting Day, produced for the CBC by filmmaker Charles Konowal. He was invited to perform and host writing workshops in the very same prison library his cousin wrote to him from all those years ago.
The late Winnipeg poet Patrick O’Connell was also a dear friend and mentor. Patrick is one of his favourite contemporary Canadian poets. His was a lyrical style that had a strong impact on his early songwriting. One of the many benefits of working in the arts community in Winnipeg is the quality of work of his peers. It’s consistently encouraging and inspiring. After more than a decade of relentless touring, he decided to take a year or so away from the road to collaborate, produce records, and enjoy his life in Winnipeg. A play was produced through Manitoba Theatre Projects based on the nine albums he has released since 2003. The play, I Dream of Diesel, enjoyed a two week run of sold-out shows and critical praise from both the community and critics

Active as a soloist in a variety of chamber music series in Winnipeg, Victoria Sparks also performs regularly with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, is principal timpani/percussion for the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, and works with many other local arts organizations. She is also the founder and director of the annual Manitoba Band Association’s Prairie Percussion Workshop for aspiring young percussionists.
Sparks has performed as a soloist in a number of chamber music series in Winnipeg (Music ’n’ Mavens, Millennium Library, etc), performs regularly with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, is principal Timpani/Percussion with the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, and works with many local arts organizations, including the Brandon Chamber Players, the Groundswell New Music Series, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and the Winnipeg Singers.
In February 2019, Sparks performed in the Manitoba Premieres John Luther Adams’ Inuksuit and Terje Isungset’s Beauty of Winter, at an outdoor venue for the Winnipeg New Music Festival, accompanied by members of the University of Manitoba Percussion Ensemble. In 2016, she had the honour of premiering Sid Robinovitch’s Concerto for Percussion and Strings with the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra. In 2018, she also performed with the Brandon Chamber Players, performing duets and trios for percussion and trombone with Graydon Carter and Aaron Wilson. The group performed Libby Larson’s Bronze Veils, John Mackey’s Harvest Concerto, and Myles Wright’s Pair Up! In 2015, for Groundswell, Sparks performed chamber works by Christos Hatzis and Derek Charke, on vibraphone and multiple percussion instruments. In 2014, Sparks performed at Carnegie Hall with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra in the Spring for Music Festival, which included a prominent marimba solo.

Jesse Roper
2022-11-23 20:30 - 22:30 | Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club, 234 Main St., Winnipeg, MB, R3C1A8, Canada
A maverick figure with a charismatic, mischievous, and famously raucous live show, Jesse Roper returns with his third album, Horizons.

With a famously raucous live show, a diverse history of international touring, burgeoning streaming numbers, sync placements in major TV shows, and an ever-expanding fanbase, Jesse Roper returns with Horizons, his third album and first full-length release in over four years.
In the time between Roper’s last record, Access to Infinity (2018) and this year’s Horizons, much has changed. Previously, Roper’s sound was still searching for a quality that he’d yet to fully realize, and has since discovered through melding an vast pool of influences unlike ever before; from 70s Motown, Soul, acoustic rock, and Funk-laden Blues.
Working closely with famed, Juno-nominated producer, Gus van Go, (Metric, The Stills, Arkells, The Trews, Sam Roberts) on this new collection of songs has pushed Roper into creating some of his best work.
“Recording with Gus and Werner F was on a whole new level. They really cared where the songs were headed and that they ended up just right”, Roper shares. “Everything was broken down to the finest details and nothing was allowed to sit at just ‘ok’. It was all about getting the vibe right.”
And the vibe is certainly right. There’s a depth and a confidence to this new body of work that hasn’t necessarily been at the forefront of Roper’s previous offerings; one that expresses his maturity as both a songwriter and artist. With a richer infusion of vintage R&B and Retro Soul as a background, Roper’s powerful vocals are have a vibrant skyline to soar over. Like contemporaries Nathaniel Rateliff, Michael Kiwanuka and Jack White, Roper tells his story with heart, and a growl to match; conjuring music a heartfelt story, without pulling any punches
Roper’s return is buoyed by an all-star band of drummer Josh Dion (John Scofield, Paris Monster), saxophonist Tony Jarvis (Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Charles Bradley, Phish), and bass by Horizons’ producer, Gus Van Go himself. Title track, “Horizons,” is propelled forward by pulsing percussion, driving guitar, and breezy brass, with Roper’s expansive vocals taking centre stage. The layered production style lends itself to a mysterious, almost seductive edge to Roper’s soulful refrains; it tantalizes and charms, hooking the listener in.
No stranger to big crowds and life on the road, Roper’s live shows are a tour de force. Backed by the Pretty Good Band, his magnetic stage presence is renowned across Canada and beyond. A maverick figure, he’s equal parts charismatic, mischievous and talented in spades. Roper has opened for Canadian legends, Colin James, Burton Cummings, and many more high-profile artists and contemporaries., He’s toured North America with Canadian-American rockers, Big Wreck, while cultivating his own teeming audience base. From selling thousands of tickets a show in his home province of BC to selling out shows in far-reaching territories, Jesse Roper’s steady transformation into a Canadian Rock luminary is clear. Roper has also found new audiences through prudent song placements on a plethora of shows and movies including Riverdale (The CW), The Equalizer (CBS), ABC’s The

Rookie and more. With tracks racking up millions of streams and six-figure monthly listeners on Spotify alone, his global fan base is constantly growing.
For Roper, this isn’t the end, or even the middle. This is still the emergence… The first part of a journey with much more to come. Music is a lifelong pursuit for those that embody it so completely and have chosen to continue on its path.
Look out for Jesse Roper, a rising star burning brightly upon the horizon.

Tim Baker is a prolific wild-eyed dreamer. In 2022, Baker has returned with The Festival, a sonic embrace, a call in for love, and a cry out for connection. Baker wants us to bring our pain and suffering, and align it all with melody. The Festival is a kaleidoscopic view in these complicated times.

Best known as the songwriter and leader of Hey Rosetta!, a Juno-nominated, Polaris-shortlisted, and multi award-winning band based in St. John’s, Newfoundland. With over 15 years of performing their high-energy spectacle in stadiums, clubs, theatres and major festivals all over the world, Hey Rosetta! called it quits in 2017.

Baker has since transitioned from being the mover and shaker of a major indie rock band, and ascended to a profound songwriter and producer. His solo LP, Forever Overhead (Arts and Crafts), garnered him a Juno nomination for Songwriter of the Year, three East Coast Music Awards (and several nominations), and a Polaris longlist. In 2019, he released The Eighteenth Hole Variations EP, the Side Door Sessions LP in 2020, and that same year, he released the Survivors EP.
