SUMMARY:Field Guide
DESCRIPTION:Field Guide at the West End Cultural Centre – Sunday\, April 4\, 2023 at 8:00pm\n\n\nThe West End Cultural Centre strongly encourages all of our patrons to continue wearing facemasks in our venue. Touring artists are disproportionately affected by COVID-related health issues\, and we want to give them every opportunity to continue to perform and tour. By wearing your mask in the venue\, you’re helping keep our artists healthy so that they don’t need to cancel shows and tours. \n-—- \nField Guide (aka Dylan MacDonald) is a weaver of worlds. Built around his inviting voice and wrapped in warm textures\, his self-titled sophomore full-length builds his most engaging world yet.It lives in a place between darkness and hopefulness with unshakeable melodies at its heart.“Melody is what makes words fall out of my mouth. It’s disarming. When I find a melody that represents my internal world\, I drop my guard. I allow the words to appear out of thin air without judgement. A lot of these songs came to life that way. I wasn’t trying to make anything\, but the songs became a home for words that I wasn’t yet ready to write on the page\,”MacDonald says.The past few years haven’t allowed for much escape from our interior worlds. There’s been a lot to move through\, and many things can be true at once.This album lives at the sometimes-tense intersection oft hose truths–loving someone dearly while being pulled toward something new\, feeling joy in the melancholy\, a gratitude for deep friendship and an uncertainty of one’s place in it. The album is also alive with the people and places that surrounded its creation. Vocals and acoustic guitars were recorded near Riding Mountain NationalPark in a wood stove-heated cabin during one ofManitoba’s coldest winters in years. Bass and drums were tracked at Break glass Studios in Montreal\, a room that already felt familiar from falling in love with the records of tour-mate Leif Vollebekk. Final over dubbing took place at Monarch Studios in Vancouver surrounded by trusted engineers and friends.And constant inspiration was found in his circle of Winnipeg creators working away on their own projects.Like The Big Pink house–Boy Golden\,Slow Spirit\,Roman Clarke\, Kris Ulrich and others dropped in on each other to share demos and often lend their sounds to each other’s albums. Beyond his hometown\, Field Guide has had the opportunity to meet some heroes and new friends. He’s supported Leif Vollebekk\, Bahamas\, SYML\, Wild Rivers\, JP Saxe andPenny & Sparrow on their tours this year. He’s built a legion of fans online and on the road. So\, while this is a solo album that invites the listener insideField Guide’s inner monologue world\, it really is meant to be lived in together.“These are the truest\, rawest songs that I’ve ever written. I’ve never felt so sure about something I’ve made before.And now\, it’s yours.”

SUMMARY:Mom Jeans WITH SPECIAL GUESTS BEARINGS
DESCRIPTION:MOM JEANS\nWITH SPECIAL GUESTS BEARINGS\n\n\nMOM JEANS\n \nWITH SPECIAL GUESTS BEARINGS\n \n \nDoor Time: 7:00 PM  Show 8:00 PM\n \n18+ / NO MINORS\n \n \n8 Max Ticket Limit\n* Accounts that violate the posted ticket limit may be cancelled without notice. \n \n“Give me something sweet so I can make it through the week/Don’t care if I end up with cavities.”\n \n \nThis is the plea that opens Sweet Tooth\, the upcoming third LP from Berkeley’s Mom Jeans. It’s the introduction to a quasi-concept record\, a structural departure for the emo punk quartet. Before any of the record’s 13 songs had been written and recorded\, the band knew what Sweet Tooth would sound like: late ‘90s and early 2000s pop rock and pop punk bliss. For frontman Eric Butler\, that meant revisiting the guitar pop perfection of Weezer and Oasis alongside deep cuts from one-hit wonders like Third Eye Blind\, Fountains of Wayne\, and Superdrag.\n \n \nButler\, guitarist Bart Thompson\, bassist Samuel Kless\, and drummer Austin Carango all arrived at the same description for these sounds: ear candy.\n \n \n“Those hits by Blink-182 and Green Day\, all those bands\, it’s just hooks for days and really excellent songwriting\,” says Butler. “They really just tried to write incredible songs that would get stuck in people’s heads. We wanted to try our own version of that. Ear candy is the goal\, so Sweet Tooth is the record.”\n \n \nThe result of this expedition into the Golden Age of snotty pop punk and cheeky radio rock is a 13-track hit of musical ecstasy\, crammed with delicious guitar crunch and infectious melodics beneath boyish romance\, teen-to-young adult angst\, and gleeful abandon.\n \n \nSweet Tooth\, which arrives three years after Mom Jeans’ second LP Puppy Love\, was recorded in New Jersey at The Barber Shop Studios with producer Brett Romnes (The Front Bottoms\, Oso Oso\, Dogleg). Butler says it’s the first time the band had a proper\, top-to-bottom studio experience\, which meant no cutting corners\, and an ability to chase a previously-unattainable level of polish. Tyler Povanda (Save Face) and Kory Gregory (Prince Daddy & the Hyena) contributed vocals to the record.\n \n \nThe music on Sweet Tooth marked a departure for Butler from his usual writing style. “I fell in love with bands like Modern Baseball and Front Bottoms and Joyce Manor\, so I wanted to write songs like that\,” says Butler. “That’s what our first two records were: me trying to stay in that box\, cause I think that’s where I felt comfortable.”\n \n \nThe “ear candy” radio bands that inspired Sweet Tooth were never necessarily considered cool in the way Butler’s other influences were. “There’s almost a kind of disdain toward commercial success\,” says Butler. “I didn’t wanna think that I was a normie and maybe I’m not\, but parts of me definitely are. Parts of all of us in this band definitely are\, and we’re okay with that.”\n \n \nIt’s about being able to like something simply because you like it. “There’s certain aspects of not really giving a shit and not having so much self-awareness and not trying to be different and cool\, and just letting yourself trust your natural instincts\, that just feel good\,” says Butler.\n \n \nOpener “Something Sweet” announces this new worldview in a perfect pop punk flurry before first single “What’s Up?” rumbles in with drums and a Take Off Your Pants And Jacket-ish Tom Delonge riff and Butler’s best Mark Hoppus drone: “I’m such a fuck/I’m such a fucking piece of shit and you hate me for it!” It’s earworm chorus (complete with a choir of “Ooh la la la” behind it) tries to parse through why we feel like shit with so much going for us: “I should be happy/should be thankful for the friends I have around me\, the support of my fractured family/But still I’m just pretending that I’m fine when I’m feeling lousy all the time.”\n \n \nThe gleeful folk punk romp “Hippo In The Water” gives way to the sad-sack breakup pop of “White Trash Millionaire:” “If love makes you rich then I would rather be broke instead!” Butler and group vocals declare before a horn-laden outro. Follow-up “Circus Clown” is led by a breezy\, saccharine synth melody as Butler\, love-drunk\, does cartwheels for a crush: “If life’s a circus then I’m the biggest clown/I’ll trade my love for laughs and let you cut me down.”\n \n \n“Sugar Rush\,” “Graduating Life\,” and “LUV L8R” oscillate between swoopy-haired emo pop strummers and Warped Tour mosh-ready pop punk\, snapping the brain back to the best bits of Under The Cork Tree before the pure Blue Album waltz of “Crybaby (On the Phone).” “If you’re doing a concept album about radio hits\, you’re gonna do a Weezer-type situation\,” says Butler.\n \n \nThe closing trio of tracks ratchet down the BPM and dime the emotional punch. “I spent the last ten minutes inside my car\, tears streaming at the rear view/Looking back I was so stupid\, all I ever wanted was you\,” Butler mourns on the bawling-in-your-high-school-bedroom chorus of “Ten Minutes.” “Teeth” meanwhile flips the record’s sugary throughline on its side. The record flames out gloriously in harmonized group vocals\, bittersweet guitar leads\, and pulsing horns before Butler sings\, “You’ve got no teeth\, you were just talking sweet/You were everything to me but now you’re just cavities.”\n \n \nSweet Tooth feels like an eternal dessert-before-dinner\, a rejection of the idea that we need to suffer before we get to the good stuff. You’ve got one life. Indulge your Sweet Tooth.

SUMMARY:Sam Baardman
DESCRIPTION:Sam Baardman at the West End Cultural Centre – Saturday\, April 22\, 2023 at 8:00pm\n\n\nThe West End Cultural Centre strongly encourages all of our patrons to continue wearing facemasks in our venue. Touring artists are disproportionately affected by COVID-related health issues\, and we want to give them every opportunity to continue to perform and tour. By wearing your mask in the venue\, you’re helping keep our artists healthy so that they don’t need to cancel shows and tours. \n—– \nSam Baardman is a well-known singer-songwriter and visual artist living in Winnipeg. His music reflects his searching and inquisitive spirit that expresses compelling truths about our deepest questions and our most difficult challenges. Fans of Sam appreciate his lyrical depth and superb\, singable melodies. It’s no surprise that the Winnipeg Free Press described him as “one of the city’s strongest and most literate songwriters.” \nFollowing the release of last year’s well-received comeback album\, Marsh Radio\, Sam returns with his fourth full-length recording\, Athabasca. The album will be available on all streaming platforms and will be for sale directly from his website. \nThe Athabasca project began in 2022 when Sam was exhibiting and performing at a conference in Winnipeg he helped host called “Art\, Activism and Advocacy”. There\, he spoke to a scientist in attendance from Global Water Futures (GWF)\, a program that supports research scientists who are studying the effects of climate change on water systems. GWF had collaborated with environmental artists in the past\, and with their support Sam spent two weeks last fall at the Coldwater Laboratory in the Rockies as well as northern Saskatchewan speaking with scientists about their climate-related work. Sam traveled with GWF scientists to their observatories atop mountains\, deep inside alpine forests\, up on a glacier\, and onto the northern prairies. \n“Spending time with these researchers was a life-changing experience.  It really opened my eyes and helped me to understand the science much more deeply\, but getting to know the scientists was just as important.  I discovered a group of extraordinarily dedicated people who are confronting the global environmental crisis head on\,” says Sam. “They are in a race against time\, in a battle against apathy and ignorance\, in a fight for resources\, and in a constant struggle to be heard by global leaders\, policy-makers\, legislators\, regulators\, and the general public.  We owe it to ourselves and to them to pay attention to what they are discovering\, and more importantly\, to act on it together.” \nThe result of this science-art collaboration is Athabasca\, a collection of environmental songs set to be released on April 22nd\, Earth Day\, at the West End Cultural Centre in Winnipeg. Environmentalism has been a theme in Sam’s music from his earliest days as a songwriter\, and this new album is a culmination of decades of focus on the ecological crisis. The music occupies a space that is neither didactic and preachy\, nor naively optimistic. There are celebratory songs about the beauty of nature\, but also songs that speak to our bewilderment\, hurt\, and anger at the dilemma we find ourselves in.

SUMMARY:Rickson Makwe
DESCRIPTION:Rickson Makwe at the West End Cultural Centre – Friday\, April 28\, 2023 at 8:00pm\n\n\nAs a singer songwritter and keyboardist Rickson Makwe takes influence from Reggae (such as South Africa’s Lucky Dube)\, African Rhumba and international pop (such as Phil Collins and Michael Jackson). \nIn early 1996 at the age of nine Ricky was injured during the war where his injuries left him blind. Even though Rickson has had some major hardships and suffering 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. \nHe eventually moved from his home country to South Africa where his passion and love of music became the driving ambition in his life. Rickson started his music career in his new home country by touring with a band\, playing festivals and recording. \nAlthough things were better in South Africa\, he still felt the desire to follow his heart and do everything he could to make the move to Canada. With their knowledge of Rickson’s musical talent and his desire to work in this industry\, the UN was able to make it possible for him move to Winnipeg where he now calls home. \nNow that Rickson is in Winnipeg\, he feels that he has the opportunity to truly explore his creativity. Dance is an important part of Rickson’s performance and experience of music (he himself dances and he also likes to have dancers as part of his live show). \nRickson is looking to give people something fresh and different. He wants to move people with his music\, and also understands that the visual element of a performance is just as important as the sound. “People understand now (that) the blind can play music and play keyboards and sing\, and yea its normal\,” says Rickson\, “but I want to show people something different… I want to show that people who are blind can do anything they put their minds to.”

SUMMARY:Andrina Turenne
DESCRIPTION:Andrina Turenne: ‘Bold As Logs’ Album Release Concert – Saturday\, April 29\, 2023 at 8:00pm\n\n\nThe West End Cultural Centre strongly encourages all of our patrons to continue wearing facemasks in our venue. Touring artists are disproportionately affected by COVID-related health issues\, and we want to give them every opportunity to continue to perform and tour. By wearing your mask in the venue\, you’re helping keep our artists healthy so that they don’t need to cancel shows and tours. \n—– \nCalling Andrina Turenne’s new album Bold As Logs her debut feels like a bit of a misnomer. The Winnipeg singer-songwriter has\, after all\, graced stages across five continents and has lent her voice—as a member or a guest—to more than 50 albums during her 20-plus years in the music industry. In addition\, she has a Juno for best roots & traditional album\, awarded to her former band Chic Gamine. \nYes\, Andrina has kept great company\, but now this prolific Franco-Manitoban Métis artist is poised to share her own music\, which weaves between languages as seamlessly as the themes in her songwriting\, with a sound that is universal. \nBold As Logs contains 11 soulfully engaging songs in French and English\, delivered in the spirit of road trips\, kitchen parties\, and bonfire gatherings. Andrina may have taken her time to move front and centre\, but her time is now—and it was worth the wait. As might be expected\, some of the songs have been gestating for many years\, although some sprung from more recent ideas captured as home demos and voice memos. Andrina whittled them down to 14\, which she sent to producer Grant Siemens (Corb Lund)\, and along with Andrina’s longtime musical partner Damon Mitchell (formerly of Winnipeg’s the New Meanies)\, they worked together as a trio to bring to life the album’s final cuts. \n“When my last group ceased touring and recording in late 2015\, I knew that my next chapter would be a solo one\,” Andrina says\, noting that during the interim she took on work in theatre and film\, and as touring bandleader for acclaimed author and musician Tomson Highway. “It was really great to challenge myself in this way and it built up my confidence as a solo artist\, musician and composer. Where I’m at now\, it feels like the free-est I’ve ever been creatively. Even though this project carries my name and my stories\, I’m so grateful to be sharing these moments surrounded by my oldest musical pals. Being in the studio and making this record\, it felt like all the roads I’ve been on led me straight there.” \nFor the first single from Bold As Logs\, Andrina chose to showcase her sultry voice en français with “Tour du monde\,” which builds from a simple beat into an anthemic rocker. The end result is a heartfelt story of rebuilding old relationships\, with the message not lost in translation: “Some days are easier than others / I turn right\, and you turn left / We lose our way / But we return to one another / No need to say whose fault it was / We’ve already forgotten.” \nAndrina describes “Tour du monde” as one of the album’s tracks that blossomed through pre-production experimentation\, something she also says occurred with album opener “Out Of Luck\,” which sets the tone with some serious Curtis Mayfield vibes. Conversely\, her deep love and knowledge of traditional Cajun music shines through on “Tourtes printanières\,” inspired by the stories of 19th Century Métis hunter and trader Louis Goulet she’d read in one of her father’s old books. Adding further texture to the song is her friend\, Grammy-winning Louisiana fiddler Louis Michot. Bold As Logs ends with the delicate “See Me Through The Night\,” written on a ukulele while traveling in Morocco when she received word from home about a fallen friend. It was one of the few songs to make the album in its original recorded form\, with its emotional resonance fully intact. \n Indeed\, Andrina’s ability to merge a wide range of genres is the real magic behind Bold As Logs. Although she points to Feist’s chameleon-like abilities as one of her primary musical inspirations\, it’s easy to hear the impact of everyone from Nina Simone to Bonnie Raitt to Gillian Welch throughout the album. Still\, everything about Bold As Logs sounds indisputably pure. \n“When asked about what inspires me\, my first thought is always my parents and their friends who taught me the joy of making music with others\, singing around campfires\,” she says. “That is the very place from which I want this project to grow. I collaborated in groups for nearly 20 years of my life\, and I learned so much\, musically and creatively. I always loved the give and take of the process and I’m so grateful I get to make beautiful sounds with people I consider family\, while learning to navigate the industry and all that comes with it.”
