Hugh's Room - Toronto

[Toobist]

If you're in the Toronto area this weekend, please consider paying a visit to Hugh's Room on Friday or Saturday night. I'm playing for a CD release party (two of them really) for Lori Cullen's new recording Buttercup Bugle. Before I gave the CD a listen myself, I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find fresh, new music that is next to universally accessible as well as catchy and really enjoyable!

Here's the blurb from the website:


"Succeeds on every level, reflective, poetic, ambient
and very, very pretty."
NOW Magazine


Poised to present herself both as an acoustic guitar-playing
singer-songwriter and the leader of a jazz structured
quintet, Lori enjoys unique opportunities for performance.
Her skill as a songwriter and collaborator with renowned
folk performers places her comfortably in venues and
festivals with a singer songwriter focus, while her
name can be heard in circles among the finest
Jazz singers in Canada. Lori has received
consistent critical raves, a Canadian
Independent Music Awards nomination,
as well as the prestigious Colleen
Peterson Songwriting Award.

Join us as we celebrate the release of her 6th offering,
Buttercup Bugle, co-produced by Chris Dedrick,
master-mind behind the legendary 60’s Sunshine
Pop vocal group Free Design. His elaborate
backing vocal sections & brass arrangements
evoke a lost era of meticulous craft, adorning
Lori's stunning songs with breathtaking
ornamentation executed by the
distinguished True North
Brass ensemble.


Lori will be joined on stage by her 12-piece all-star band:

Mark Mariash: drums / Maury Lafoy: bass
Kurt Swinghammer: guitar / Brian Macmillan: guitar
Chris Dedrick: vocals, arrangements / Rebecca Pallett: vocals
Rachelle Courtney: vocals / Jason Logue: trumpet
