Those who attended the Hickman Automotive Group's 17th Annual Classic Car Show last July can confirm that the show was a huge success! We want to make this year's show even bigger, so again, Hickman Chevrolet Cadillac will team up with Hickman Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Fiat and also the newest product line of the Hickman Automotive Group, Hickman Nissan, to present the 18th Annual Hickman Classic Car Show!

Since Hickman Chrysler joined a few years ago, the show was separated between the Chrysler dealership at 20 Peet Street and the Chevrolet dealership at 85 Kenmount Rd. This year the Car Show will be sharing 1 lot at Hickman Chevrolet Cadillac, 85 Kenmount Rd with the Hickman Chrysler parking lot being utilized for spectator parking and Car Show participant overflow so come early for the best parking! All the participants and spectators alike can enjoy the show at one convenient location with entertainment by the Tequila Rockingbirds!

This year's show is scheduled for Saturday, July 6th from 10am to 4pm (rain date, Sunday, July 7th) so mark your calendars and get your registration in early to assist us in planning for this big event. Complete and submit the registration form online for your GM, Chrysler or Nissan/Datsun by clicking here or call us at 726-6990 / 1-866-990-2275 to register your vehicle.

We are asking participants and spectators to please bring a non-perishable food item to help support the Community Food Sharing Association. As well, proceeds from refreshments and food sold at the show will go to help the fine work of the children's safety charity - Child Find.

We hope to see you there!

A few years back Daniel Day-Lewis and his wife Rebecca Miller used the land for a feature film and left behind a structure where we host summer programming.
This summer I will be hosting a concert series every Sunday night featuring some of the Island's finest songwriters.We also will present a series of art workshops. For a full program list go to www.rockbarraretreat.com.

My singing camp this year runs from Friday August 2^nd at 7:00 until noon on Sunday August 4^th. We always have a great time and many people come back every year. The camp is open to all comers, experienced singers and shy beginners. This year I'll be combining basic vocal technique with The Yoga of Sound. The Yoga of Sound introduces the voice as a healing modality, using chants, light exercises, labyrinth walks and improvisation to bring peace and calm to the mind and body. Expect to leave the workshop having a better understanding of the power of the voice and feeling relaxed and inspired after a weekend of singing, laughing, campfires and swimming. The cost for the entire weekend is $165.

To register, email me at teresa@teresadoyle.com or call 902 838 2973 for more information.

Blues Women International - HOPSON SESSIONS LIVE

 

First Historic International Blues Women recording from Clarksdale, Mississippi.

 

We are excited to announce the release of the first ever international all-women, all-original material, live recording with all women back-up musicians. The digital release was on Wed., 24 April 2013, and the physical CD release will be on 9 May 2013 at the Blues Music Awards in Memphis, TN.

 

This selection of songs encompasses a multitude of genres with roots music from Country, Jazz, Roots, Rock and Roll and Blues. Even the song subject matters written by these women are tales only women can tell. From stories of crazy boyfriends, making love to their baby under the moon and houses burning down, makes it a selection of blues storytelling in the long tradition of the blues.

 

Women have their own stories to tell, and they sing the blues in their own way, and this new release demonstrates that. We have blues from Canada, Australia and many states across the country. Each one tells a different story with a different flair.

 

15 blues women from all over the world gathered to record; amongst them are Clarksdale, Mississippi, native Jacqueline Nassar, first Robert Johnson achievement award.  Australian Jazz diva Dee Dee Lavell, whose current CD has received rave reviews in the Jazz Times, Canadian blues artist Sunday Wilde whose current release hit the top five on Sirius XM Radio on BB King’s Bluesville, Minnesota Native Americans Joni and Alex Buffalohead, who are the front singers for award winning (NAMMY) Native American blues band Bluedog. This is just an example of the world class blues women that are involved in this new recording.

 

The recording is Live from the Clarksdale Crossroads in the Hopson Commissary, where long-time blues artists such as Pinetop Perkins resided, worked and played.

 

This is the first project of the new grassroots organization to assist women blues artists around the world, located at www.blueswomenintl.com

BLUES WOMEN INTERNATIONAL NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Press Release - Blues Women International

4 January 2013

 

It’s with great excitement that the first “Blues Women International” project will be underway in 2 weeks.  International, seasoned and new women blues singers, songwriters and musicians will join forces with an all-female backup band in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the birthplace of the blues, to record all original previously unreleased material, which will be included in a CD compilation this coming spring.

 

This is the first project pulled together by a newly formed group of blues lovers and blues women to further promote women in blues in an international arena, including:

 

The Spotlight: Julia Magness, Shaun Booker, Kelly Chappue, Diedra Ruff, Sunday Wilde (Canadian), Joni Buffalohead, Billie Feather, Cindy Maloney, Pat Pepin

The Band and Rhythmn Section: LaLa Craig, Heather Crosse, Pat Pepin, Carol Dierking, Billie Feather

Go to http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/420863138/women-in-blues-international-recording-project-cla

 

We have the complete digital download compilation for $8.

We have the complete CD compilation for $12.

 

What a deal!!!

We are currently only 11% funded and need to be fully funded to receive any support.

It all takes place at the Hopson Commissary Plantation in Clarksdale, Mississippi, on January 28^th and January 29^th. This live recording will take place during the afternoon (3-9PM), with an open pro jam at 9PM both nights. The recording and jam is open to the public.

 

Each woman will be putting forth two original songs that will be included on the first project of the Blues Women International CD compilation and subsequently released later on this spring for sale and promoted to various music programmers. It is our hope that this compilation will help further along Int’l Women In Blues to increase their exposure to a worldwide listening audience, and to create further opportunities for these women for live performance opportunities, as well.

 

Blues Women International has brought together a variety of artists and musicians in an array of blues styles, including roots, acoustic traditional, modern Chicago blues style, zydeco and Memphis blues.  This will certainly create an interesting mix of where women in blues are today.

 

Blues Women International has also been promoting the new website at http://BluesWomenIntl.com to create a worldwide database of women involved in the blues in a variety of aspects for upcoming projects in the coming year.

 

The goals of the newly formed Blues Women International include hosting an awards program, as well as bi-annually hosting showcase events and continuing to support and encourage women in the blues.

GREAT BIG ROCK JAM REPORT – JANUARY 5, 2013

Happy New Year to all of you, and I'd like to send out birthday greetings to NL singer Phoebe Holloway, and Ottawa's Pete Beaudoin of Sherry Harding and the Heat and Freddy Carriere of Firebelly.

Local alternative rock band Vegas Lounge Lizard is gearing up to release its debut EP, and you can help them out by pre-ordering a copy of it.  The release date will be sometime in February, but the exact date will be determined by the number of pre-orders.  You can pay what you like, but the minimum fee is a measly five bucks.  You can listen to their music at Soundcloud.com and contact them via their Vegas Lounge Lizard Facebook page.  They also have a YouTube video that was recorded here at CHMR.

Another St. John’s alt- rock band, Waterfront Fire, formed from Apollo Rock and Owls in the Rafter, released a self-titled CD in 2012.  Comprised of guitarists Andrew Boyd, Ben Thistle, drummer Ryan Tobin, bass guitarist Brandon Young, and keyboardist Sean Jessome, the band is currently looking for a vocalist to replace Josh Cluett, who moved away in August.  You can check out Waterfront Fire on Soundcloud as well as Myspace.

Clarenville-based Jessa Rae Strong is a 17-year-old guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist who is looking to join or form a band.  I checked out her YouTube videos and, she really is quite good.  I’m sure she is looking at a good future in the music business, even as a solo act.

I’d like to belatedly congratulate the winners of the MusicNL/Statoil Christmas Songwriting Contest for young musicians across this province.  The first-place winner was 16-year-old Kat McLevey, for her song, “Winter Shows Me”, second place went to 18-year-old Brianna Gosse for “My Christmas Song for You”, and 19-year-old Pete Mills took third place for “Xmas Together”.

Terry Parsons, CHMR host of “Blind Lemon Blues”, “Cosmic Debris”, “Sunday Morning Hangover Cure” and “The Songwriters”, is celebrating his birthday tomorrow, January 6, so be sure to look him up on Facebook and send him a greeting.  Better yet, tune in to any and all of his long-running shows on this station, particularly this Monday, January 6, when he will announcing the Top 20 Canadian Blues Albums, as voted on by his listeners and tabulated by Terry.

California’s Val Starr & The Blues Rocket released its first CD in 2012, entitled Cool Ride, and it is available at all of the usual music download portals.  The band’s second CD, Blues Away, is in pre-production and will be available in the spring of 2013.

A used record store owner in Pittsburgh apparently bought a box of old attic-stored records for $50, only to discover that one of the vinyl ’78s was Robert Johnson’s 1936 Vocalian recording of “I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom”.  I thought that was an Elmore James tune, but whatever.  It’s quoted as being worth anywhere from $6,000-12,000.  Johnson, reputed to have sold his soul to the devil at a rural Mississippi crossroads, died in 1938 at the age of 27.

Steve Clark, who has replaced Geoff Goodhusband as the host of the 9OclockRock series, happening from 9-11 p.m., Thursdays, at The Levee, has posted the schedule of entertainers for the remaining weeks of Jan., as follows:  January 10 – Matthew Hare and The Rolling Kings; January 17 – Stephen Green & Adam Baxter; January 24 – Brad Jefford Trio and The Skylarks; and January 31 – Erin Simms and Magnetar.  Stay tuned for more tunes.


7) Claudette King (We’re Onto Something) – “Can I Walk You to Your Car” (3:40)

8) Anni Piper (Chasin’ Tail) – “Hideaway” (4:46)

9) Stacy Jones Band (Live and Untapped) – “Waitin’ on Love” (3:25)

10) Beth Duncan (Comes the Fall) – “Give Me the Simple Life” (2:58)

11) Tracy K (Old, New, Borrowed & Blues) – “Stop!  Wait a Minute!) (3:50)

12) Sue Foley (Queen Bee – The Antones Collection) – “Lightning Boogie” (1:46)

D.D.’s BLUE NOTES – JANUARY 5, 2013

In Ottawa music news, Ian Boyd, of Compact Disc music store, advises that there will be new CDs/vinyl from The Fiftymen, The Hilotrons, Lynn Miles, and Riot Police, all before the end of March.

Toronto musician and radio show host Danny Marks is very pleased to have won for the 2012 “Best Electric Blues CD” vote by Wasser-Prawda music magazine in Germany for his latest release, A Good Friend in the Blues.

Toronto-based Blues Element's new album has been overly-delayed, partly due to a consignment deal that went sour.  Vocalist and co-songwriter Jamie Browning had decided to sell off her vintage costumes from her days as the frontwoman for Toronto punk band Daphne’s Purple Closet in order to finance the new Blues Element CD.  However, the consignment shop owner, Eva by name, is refusing to return any unsold garments and has not reimbursed Jamie for any of her items that were already purchased.  Buyer (and seller) beware – dishonest people are out there, everywhere.

Dylan Wickens & The Grand Naturals are also trying to finance the production of their newest CD, entitled Love & Lust.  They have a fundraising campaign on the go at Indiegogo.com.  Depending on the amount of your donation, you could conceivably obtain an autographed copy of the CD, have your name listed on the album credits, be added to the guest list for any live performances by the band throughout 2013, have an intimate one-hour concert by the band at your home, and/or receive an autographed instrument that was used in the production of the CD.  For more information, visit indiegogo.com/dylanwickens.

Brad Curtis of Vancouver’s Some X Six Band tells me that The Hoodoo Shake CD was picked by The Blues Underground as "Most Unique and Original Album Of The Year 2012” for the Editor’s Choice Award – well done, lads.

Debby White, owner of 99 Matrix Records and sweetTmusic in Nashville, TN, reports that her roster artists Keith Youngster, with his “Superman” single, and Van Preston, with her single, “My Heart Craves Him”, will both be featured in upcoming issues of Europe's Maverick Magazine and will be featured in the Covermount CD, to be released in Europe, this month and next.

If you’re a blues music junkie who enjoys taking in the festival circuit year-round, the 7^th annual Boquete Jazz and Blues Festival takes place in Boquete, Panama, from Feb. 28 to Mar. 3, 2013.  The line-up of performers hasn’t been finalized yet, but on the bill so far are Chicago’s Tail Dragger (a.k.a. James Yancy Jones) and Bob Corritore, Panamanian saxophonist Carlos Ubarte, The Randy Oxford Band, out of Seattle, WA, The Rigoberto Coba of David, Chiriqui, Boquete, and his 18-piece big band, California’s Ron Hacker & The Hacksaws, Venezuelan Jazz Diva Maria Rivas & Band, the Royal J’s from New Orleans, and, of course, the one and only Boquete Blues Band B3.

8) The Blue Voodoo (Outside Looking In) – “Working Man’s Blues” (3:21)

9) The Vegetarians (The Vegetarians) – “U Deserve It” (4:28)

10) Ben Racine Band (One of a Kind) – “Early Times” (3:51)

11) Murderjetz (Tacit) – “Origin” (2:39)

12) Mark Bragg (Your Kiss) – “Carl Ray” (3:23)
