North Bay loves Juno award winner, Jesse Cook. We know this because his audience expands every time he graces our stage. You can’t help but tap your feet while you’re in your seat. He’s an incredible flamenco, rumba and jazz guitar player and you’ll fall in love with the beautiful music he makes. He’s got a new album out called Beyond Borders (2017) to go along with the 11 others he’s created over the past 23 years.

Tickets can be purchased: www.capitolcentre.org or 705 474-4747

His new album Miles to Go, in which James records nine new covers of his favourite artists (Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Little Willie John, Robert Johnson, etc.) and adds two originals, “I Will Remain” and “40 Light Years.” “Blues has always been a pass-it-forward kind of thing,” says James. “It’s also surprisingly hard to write. You have to be careful how modern you get in your phrasing. Certain writers can write a song that sounds like it was done 40 years ago, but it’s deceptively hard.” To be a blues musician is to always have a dialogue with the past.  As with much blues music, it’s the performances on the original versions rather than the actual song that drew James to them.

So much of Colin James’s career has pointed him to this moment: joyfully tangled up in the blues, which, as he notes, “is the only genre where you can maintain a young profile at the age of 53.”

12th Annual National Promotion celebrating Independent Record Stores, Records and Collectors! 

Please Note; Date change from the usual 3rd Saturday in April (20th) to the second (13th). According to RSD organizers, the date change was accommodate "Easter Travel Plans" but I personally think there'll be a conflicting, larger-than-normal 420 smokeout, in celebration of legalization!

Nonetheless you can expect; Exclusive RSD Releases, Deals, Prizes, Giveaways and Snacks from your friendly neighbourhood WAXMAN!!  More Info TBA
