Tower of Song
Leonard Cohen tribute
Sat. May 16, 8pm$30
When Leonard Cohen sings these
words, the Tower of Song is a metaphor
for the inspiration that flows between
songwriters, each toiling away on their
own, but connected by their shared
craft. Moved by this concept, celebrated BC singer-songwriters Oliver
Swain and Glenna Garramone, collaborated to produce a project that
is a dialogue through song and a tribute to the legendary songwriter.
Reimagining both rare and classic works of Cohen, the duo has crafted
a sound that resonates with both long-time Cohen fans and a younger
audience. Together as Tower of Song the two have arranged some of
Cohen’s timeless songs beautifully, for two voices, banjo, string bass,
piano and guitar. towerofsongmusic.com Presented by Meaford Hall

Divine Brown

Sat. July 18, 8pm
$40
When Divine Brown enters a room
the energy becomes electric. It’s that
classic combination of attitude and altitude, for with Divine, people instantly
recognize her as music royalty which
she carries fearlessly having earned rather than borrowed her crown.
It’s in her ability to at once invoke the empowered sexuality of Pam Grier’s seventies superwoman, Foxy Brown, while remaining immediately
contemporary, exciting and fresh that drives her appeal. Fearless. Foxy.
Fresh. Ladies and Gentlemen it’s time you know Divine Brown.
