SUMMARY:Daughters of Donbas
DESCRIPTION:Songs of Stolen Children by Daughters of Donb as is a music/human rights project that deals with the ~20\,000 Ukrainian children that’s have been abducted from occupied regions in Eastern Ukraine and taken to Russia. \nHauntingly beautiful acoustics vibrations translate the themes of sorrow and hope and give the voice to captured children who tragically can’t speak for themselves. \nWeaving Ukrainian folk music into the modern context\, Daughters of Donbas draw the strength from their ancestry and storytelling. Their hope is in speaking up and unity in action\, which this 80-Knute concert is meant to inspire. \nTickets

SUMMARY:India Gailey & Taryn Kawaja
DESCRIPTION:India Gailey (she/they) is an award-winning Canadian cellist\, composer\, vocalist\, and improviser. She draws from many eras and genres to craft poetic narratives of sound\, most often performing in the realms of classical and experimental music. Named by CBC as one of “30 hot Canadian classical musicians under 30\,” India has toured across the Western hemisphere as a soloist\, chamber musician\, and collaborator. She frequently works with living composers\, filmmakers\, dancers\, visual artists\, and musicians of various stripes to create works of exploratory art. \nTaryn Kawaja is a Canadian singer/pianist/songwriter whose unique style of lyrics\, melodies and chord structures has been captivating audiences across Canada and Europe. She has been described as an evocative blend of Tori Amos and Amy Winehouse. Coming from a rigorous classical background\, Kawaja’s unique fusion of neo-classical and folk is sonically nostalgic and dreamlike yet her lyrics are grounding and honest. There is something relieving about the truth from which sings. With a reputation for virtuosic playing complimented by a birdsong voice and beautifully vulnerable poetics\, Taryn Kawaja is a performer you do not want to miss. \nTickets

SUMMARY:Garrett Mason
DESCRIPTION:Garrett Mason is a true bluesman at heart. He was raised in Truro\, Nova Scotia by his mother Pam\, and father\, veteran Canadian Bluesman Dutch Mason. His quest to become a blues musician started at a very early age; being surrounded by music blues music\, Garrett’s favorite tapes at 3 years old were Canned Heat and Buddy Rich. What really sealed the deal for Garrett to become a blues guitarist came after watching a video of Stevie Ray Vaughn “Live At the El Mocambo” – he was hooked. \nHis dad\, Dutch Mason\, stopped playing guitar before Garrett was born due to crippling arthritis in his hands. Although he was not able to teach his son to play\, he has certainly been able to teach Garrett the structure of the Blues and to influence him about the resulting sound. Surrounded by his father’s peers\, Garrett has had the benefit of hearing and learning from a wide variety of musical talent. The late Rick Jeffery was a great inspiration to Garrett; they would talk and play for hours together. Rick once said “Garrett is the only guitar player I know that can play Albert Collins’ style down to a T”. The combination of his father’s advice\, Jeffery’s guidance and his own natural talents provide that special brew for Garrett to become the musical influence he is destined to be. \nGarrett would be the first to tell you that riding the coat tails of others won’t take you very far in this business\, but striving to be truly original is the secret to longevity and lasting success. Garrett launched his debut CD I’m Just a Man at the 2004 Harvest Jazz and Blues festival in Fredericton\, New Brunswick to a sold out crowd. \nThis debut CD features Garrett’s talent for strong original songs\, a voice that is reminiscent of a veteran performer and his extraordinary aptitude for playing electric guitar. Garrett’s original talent was awarded in 2005 when he received a Juno for Best Blues Album. Garrett Mason is poised to be one of the brightest stars to emerge from the East Coast Blues scene in years. \nGarrett’s band released their sophomore album Love and Sound in July 2008 which was nominated for a Juno Award. The album won Blues Artist/Group Recording of the Year at the 2009 Music Nova Scotia and Industry Awards.

SUMMARY:Dave Staples\, Charlie Cooley & John Chiasson
DESCRIPTION:John Chaisson grew up in Antigonish\, and studied jazz at St. Francis Xavier University\, long before the singing jazz upright bass player Esperanza Spaulding came to prominence. Fans of John’s smooth baritone-plus-bass already had her Nova Scotia counterpoint. \nJohn has put true\, low notes behind PEI legend Lenny Gallant\, the stratospheric pipes of The Rankins\, and beneath the fretless lilt of Natalie McMaster’s fiddle. For Natalie\, John has been a music director\, that is to say\, her band-leader and arranger\, the person who runs rehearsals. \nNow based in Halifax\, John’s trio plays for special events and regularly at Baton Rouge and many other venues across Nova Scotia; John and trio also provided expert framing for young phenoms like saxophonist Rob Crowell. \nJohn admits that inspiration is a deep well – for him it starts with music in the house\, played and encouraged by his parents\, then with the arrival of a lead-singing bass player\, Paul McCartney. John also mentions McCartney’s apparent opposite in ’60s music – the iconoclast composer\, singer and bassist Charles Mingus\, himself known for heart-rending chord changes\, like those in Goodbye Pork Pie Hat. \nJohn’s signature instrument is an unusual solid-body upright bass\, nothing McCartney or Mingus could have had\, in the day. This bass sounds sweet\, and repels the Maritimes’ dry and damp spells with warmth. \nDave Staples is a veteran East Coast performer and music educator and maintains a busy freelance career as a pianist\, trombonist\, composer and recording artist. Dave has performed and recorded with such artists and groups as Mike Murley\, Rene e Rosnes\, Kenny Wheeler\, Kurt Elling\, Omar Hakim\, the Maritime Jazz Orchestra and Bicoastal Collective as well as numerous East Coast musicians and ensembles\, including John Chiasson\, Ian Janes\, Scott and the Rocks\, Mike Cowie\, Latin Groove\, the Blakey Project\, the Mingus Project\, the Horace Silver Tribute Band\, the Halifax Trombone Summit\, the Back Alley Big Band and his own Dave Staples Septet. In 1995\, he received the East Coast Music Award (ECMA) with Jeff Goodspeed as Jazz Artists of the Year for their album release of “Eastern Passage”(CBC Productions) and is featured on the 2006 ECMA Jazz Album of the Year “Tom Roach: Piano Trios “(CBC Productions). \nDave taught instrumental music with the Halifax Regional School Board for over 30 years and is co-founder and director of the Nova Scotia Honour Jazz program\, which has worked with talented students of jazz in Nova Scotia for the last 25 years. He has also served as a board member of JazzEast and was on the Canadian Executive Board of the International Association for Jazz Education as Newsletter Editor and Director of Communications from 2003 to 2008. \nCharlie Cooley has performed and/or recorded with such artists as: Leonard Cohen\, K.D. Lang\, The Guess Who\, Heillig Manoeuvre\, Amanda Marshall\, Anne Murray\, Randy Brecker\, Kellylee Evans\, Sass Jordan\, Long John Baldry\, Matt Dusk\, and The Blues Brothers (musical director – Paul Shaffer) \nCharlie is also a member of the Juno Award winning world beat jazz ensemble Manteca. Manteca has performed in many territories around the world including The North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands (Holland)\, The Canadian Pavilion at Expo in Seville\, Spain\, The Aspen Jazz Festival\, The Playboy Jazz Festival at The Hollywood Bowl and The Pori Jazz Festival in Finland. \nCharlie has been the in-house drummer for many of Canada’s prime time television award shows such as The Juno Awards\, The Canadian Songwriters Hall Of Fame Awards\, The East Coast Music Awards\, The Gemini Awards\, The Canadian Country Music Awards\, and the Canada Day Celebrations from Parliament Hill (CBC)
