Demi Lovato & Nick Jonas
2016-08-29 19:00 | MTS Centre, 300 Portage Ave, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 5S4, Canada
Demi Lovato’s newest album, CONFIDENT, is out now on Hollywood Records/Island Records/Safehouse Records and features the #1 iTunes smash single “Cool For The Summer.” Lovato kicked off the release of CONFIDENT with powerful and poignant performances on “Saturday Night Live,” which generated the #1 worldwide trending topic on Twitter and massive coverage by the media. Following the performance, the Village Voice declared, “Issue a warrant for Demi Lovato ‘cause girl murdered ‘Saturday Night Live,’” adding, “Lovato’s full-throttle vocal assault on the Studio 8H stage with (“Confident”) could service as a career standout for her.”
Demi will perform songs from the critically acclaimed new album on “Good Morning America” (Oct. 29) as well as “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” (Oct. 30). Critical praise for Lovato’s CONFIDENT has been equally stellar. Billboard Magazine asserted, “Demi Lovato has become one of pop’s leading motivational figures,” while People Magazine lauded, “It’s Lovato’s dynamite vocals and striking vulnerability on aching ballads and gospel anthems that make CONFIDENT such a triumph,” and USA Today avowed, “She inarguably has one of the strongest instruments in pop right now.”
Island Records Artist, Nick Jonas introduced himself as a fully formed solo artist on his hit self-titled debut, released in November 2014. The critically-acclaimed album includes double-platinum smash single and #1 U.S. radio hit, “Jealous” and his sultry second chart-climbing radio single, “Chains.” Jonas attributes his album’s darker overtones partially to the fact that while he was recording, he was also shooting the gritty television show ‘Kingdom’ — a mixed martial arts drama that premiered on DirecTV’s Audience Network last fall and was recently picked up for two additional seasons. Jonas recently earned two more high-profile roles, a guest starring role in Fox’s horror-comedy series, ‘Scream Queens’ and a lead in the James Franco produced film, ‘Goat’. Showing no signs of slowing down this year, the breakout solo powerhouse joined forces with west coast rapper-producer Sage the Gemini to release their summer collaboration, “Good Thing.” Jonas’ latest single, “Levels,” has already amassed over 12 million views on YouTube and is rapidly climbing the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He also recently wrapped up his sold-out North American “LIVE IN CONCERT” tour and has been nominated for a 2015 American Music Award for Favorite Male Artist – Pop/Rock.

Tegan and Sara
2016-09-10 19:30 | Centennial Concert Hall, 555 Main St, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3B 1C3, Canada
Tegan Rain Quin and Sara Keirsten Quin are identical twin sisters from Calgary, Alberta.
They began playing guitar and writing songs at age 15. They initially played as Plunk without a drummer or bass player. In 1997, they used their school’s recording studio to record two demo albums: Who’s in Your Band? and Play Day. In 1998, they won Calgary’s Garage Warz competition, using the studio time they won to record their first professional demo, Yellow tape, which was followed by Orange tape and Red tape.
Tegan and Sara’s Love You To Death, is the latest sonic chapter in a celebrated 17-year career that has seen them build an avid global following of fans and fellow musicians alike. Their unique ability to bridge the pop and indie worlds has allowed their music to cross boundaries of genre and culture effortlessly. This is a band that has performed comfortably alongside Katy Perry, Neil Young, Taylor Swift and The Killers, while also performed in the dusty desert at Coachella and on the pristine stage at the 2015 Academy Awards.
