Event Description

CAM PENNER
With Cam's last acclaimed album "Gypsy Summer" (debuted at #16 on Billboard Folk charts)he toured the album through both Eastern & Western Canada, UK, Scotland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France. Cam Penner finds new textures and bolder sounds on his fifth release ‘To Build a Fire’. The fractured rootsy persona still creeps in but this is not a depressing album. ‘To Build a Fire’ is full of hope. It's full of love. It's electrifying and provoking. It is a rallying call that reaches out, boldly and courageously into present-day existence. It's full of everything we should be looking for, not only musically, but in life.

FLOPHOUSE JR.
In March of 2000, Flophouse Jr scored a blue-chip accolade when its debut album, Woodland, was named "Americana album of the month" by the influential U.K. glossy Mojo. That's the kind of press that alt-country artists pray to Hank Williams for, and it helped make a couple tours England that followed into a DIY success.
Review from UK on his latest Houseboat CD "What I want and need is more music as lovely as this in my life."

— Juno Award Winner David Francey
