It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself to you as the new Artistic Director for Performing Arts at the City of Brampton. As a means of introduction, I would like to share the story of my first experience with the performing arts.

I was 13. For some inexplicable reason, my mom thought it would be a good idea to enrol me in a theatre troupe. I say “inexplicable” because I was the most unlikely candidate for such a thing. Painfully shy and awkward, I had absolutely no performable talent to speak of. My mother clearly knew something about my heart that I had yet to discover.

The morning of the first rehearsal, I sat alone in a corner, ready to climb out of my skin. This was a mistake, I thought. And just when I was about to sneak out, the program leader gathered us into a circle

and announced what our task for the summer was going to be: create a show from scratch about all the things that we, as young people, wanted to change about the world. And, then, the most unbelievable thing happened. She looked at me right in the eyes and asked me: “What do you want to change about the world?”

I was stunned. No one had ever asked me such a question before. I didn’t know what to say. She smiled, waited patiently for a moment, and moved on to the next kid knowing that she would eventually get me out of my shell.

Eight weeks later, I found myself on stage performing in a show about ending the threat of nuclear war. And, next to me, performing in the exact same show, were none other than Crosby, Stills and… Graham Nash. (How they ended up in the show is another story).

Well, you can perhaps imagine my delight when I discovered that the first two shows of our Fall season are Save Our World, It’s Not Too Late by the Metropolitan Youth Performing Arts Centre (Oct. 4th) and Graham Nash (Oct. 5)! Okay, so they are not on stage together but it still feels like a full-circle moment for me.

But the real reason that I share this story is because these two shows speak to the core of what we are committed to providing you here at The Rose: the unique feeling of possibility that can only be found in live performance. Much like my 13-year-old self being asked what I wanted to change in the world, I stand before every performance in awe of the infinite potential that is being promised before the curtain goes up. And, when that curtain goes up, I am always amazed. We hope you will be too.

Thank you for joining us. I look forward to getting to know you and to serving this incredible city.

It was our very first time at the Rose theatre. We attened the Gordon Lightfoot concert and were very impressed with this lovely venue. It is cozy and intimate without being too small. The staff were warm and helpful. Once we got home, I immediately reviewed their 2017/2018 calendar and bought tickets to several upcoming events. We’re looking forward to returning

Graham Nash

If it wasn’t for Joni Mitchell, superstar folk rock trio Crosby, Stills & Nash might never have seen the light of day.

Graham Nash, the Blackpool-born singer and songwriter who has been twice inducted into the Rock ‘N Roll Hall Of Fame - once with David Crosby and Stephen Stills and once as co-founder of The Hollies - was on tour with the latter in 1968 when he took a very short break to spend time with his girlfriend Mitchell at her L.A. abode.

“I had left London to spend four days with Joni,” Nash told Revue from Chicago this past July. “When I got to the house, there were a lot of voices in there and I was unhappy about that. I wanted to spend time with Joan and not anybody else. But it was David (Crosby) and Stephen (Stills.)”

Folk rockers The Byrds had recently parted ways with Crosby and Buffalo Springfield, the band that included Stephen Stills and Neil Young, had disbanded, so Nash says Stills and Crosby were trying to form a duo “because they had interesting songs.”

“I’ll be quite honest,” Nash admits. “We had dinner and smoked a big one and then David said, ‘Play Willy (Nash’s affectionate nickname, since his middle name is William) that song we were just working on.’

“So in Joni’s living room, they played me, ‘You Don’t Have To Cry,’ which is a beautiful song by Stephen Stills that ended up on the first CSN record. And I said, ‘That’s a really brilliant song Stephen - play it again.’”

On the third go-round, Nash said he had memorized the lyrics and joined in on the splendid three-part harmony that eventually became the trio’s trademark.

“Midway through, we had to stop playing and started laughing, “Nash recalls. “The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield and The Hollies were really good harmony bands. But this was completely different than anything me and David and Stephen had heard - and we tried to make our three voices into one voice.”

Nash says he was so certain of the Crosby, Stills & Nash sound that he had to “go and disrupt my entire life.”

He never returned to The Hollies’ tour.“I left my country,” Nash says. “I left my band. I left my

equipment. I left my money. That’s how powerful that sound was to me. And I don’t think I made a mistake.”

Their eponymously-titled debut album, released in 1969 and spawning the hits “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” and the Nash-penned “Marrakesh Express,” bore that out, eventually selling more than 5 million copies in the U.S. alone and paving the inadvertent way to add Neil Young to the equation.

“When the first album (Crosby, Stills & Nash) was recorded, Stephen played most of the instruments on the album,” Nash recalls. “He didn’t play the drums, of course, although he did play percussion, but he played bass, piano, B-3 organ, he played rhythm guitar and lead guitar - he played a lot of stuff.

“The day we finished the final mix, Ahmet Ertegun, the

CEO of Atlantic Records, was visiting us in the studio and we gave him the two-track master and knew that we had a hit album. But once you know that, you know you’re going to have to go on the road. David and Stephen were at Ahmet’s house for dinner in New York, and Ahmet said, “I know who you should get man, you gotta get Neil back.”

Nash said that up until that point, he had never met Young and wasn’t sure if he’d be a good fit.

“I went to breakfast with Neil Young on Bleecker Street in New York and at the end of the that breakfast I would have made him King of the World. He was funny. He was self-assured. I said, ‘Neil, why should we invite you into this band?’ And he said’, Have you ever heard me and Stephen play guitar together?’ And I said, ‘Yes I have’ and he said, ‘Well, there’s your answer’ - and he was in the band.”

As the years rolled by and Nash produced solo albums, duet albums with Crosby, trio and quartet albums, he in particular seemed to write about social conscience, crafting such brilliant protest songs like “Military Madness,” “Chicago,” “Immigration Man” and “Prison Song” amongst more tender numbers like “Our House” and “Teach Your Children.” It’s one that he continues on his latest album, 2016’s “This Path Tonight,” his first collection of new material in 14 years after overseeing the releases of box sets by him and his bandmates, solo and collectively.

“I’ve always championed the underdog,” says Nash, an artist and a photographer who has some work displayed at the True North Gallery in Waterdown. “I’ve always championed justice versus injustice. I can’t stand it when you bind and chain and gag a man and call it a fair trial, like they did with Bobby Seale in Chicago. I can’t stand that injustice.

“Don’t forget, I come from a country that made it through two World Wars. Don’t talk to me about how your coffee is not quite the right temperature. Let’s talk about real stuff. If we’ve committed to make music like this, let’s go! That’s who I am. And that’s who I’ve always been. And I’ve always been the one to realize that the music is far more important than any of our personal relationships.”

For this tour, he’s traveling as a duo with fellow Brit Shane Fontayne, a former Sting and Bruce Springsteen sideman.

“It’s brilliant music and it’s such a joy, because we’re stripping the songs down to how they were written,” Nash notes. “A little guitar, a little piano - it’s refreshing.”

Carl PalmerCarrying On The ELP Legacy

When it comes to losing some precious bandmates, Carl Palmer has had a rough year.

In January, the 67-year-old drumming legend lost Asia collaborator John Wetton - who sang such chart-topping hits as “Heat Of The Moment” and “Only Time Will Tell” - to cancer.

And within the space of 10 months in 2016, he lost his Emerson, Lake and Palmer compadres Keith Emerson (March) and Greg Lake (December) due to suicide and cancer, respectively.

“Greg’s soaring voice and skill as a musician will be remembered by all who knew his music and recordings made with ELP and King Crimson,” Palmer wrote on his website. “Keith was a gentle soul whose love for music and passion for his performance as a keyboard player will remain unmatched for many years to come. He was a pioneer and an innovator whose musical genius touched all of us in the worlds of rock, classical and jazz.

“I will always remember his warm smile, good sense of humor, compelling showmanship, and dedication to his musical craft.”

As a result, Palmer has made his ELP Legacy tribute his mission, moving forward.

“I will deeply miss Keith and Greg, both of whom the world lost in 2016,” Palmer announced in a press release regarding the tour. “It is now down to me to carry on flying the ELP banner and I will be playing that great music with my band for many years to come. The outpouring of support from ELP’s fans has been astounding, so, I felt I owed it to them to continue the music we made as a group.”

There is one interesting twist, however: Palmer has decided to tour without a keyboardist, instead relying on the six-string guitar prowess of Paul Bielatowicz to substitute for Emerson’s wizardry.

As Palmer, whose trio also includes bass player Simon Fitzpatrick, explains: “Since 2001, I have been playing with my own power trio, replacing the keyboards with electric guitar.

“I felt that was the only honest way to approach the music of ELP. I didn’t want to have a singer trying to sound like Greg Lake. ELP did so much instrumental music, this format made sense to me. The idea was to re-invent the music; there will be several new classic ELP tunes this time around.”

Whether that configuration works will be left to those that listen and witness ELP legacy, but nothing will change the fact that Carl Palmer remains one of the most influential drummers - rock or otherwise - to sit behind the kit, often inventing and mixing difficult time signatures that required enormous discipline to perform.

Palmer had already enjoyed successful outings with two bands - The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown (remember the outlandish hit “Fire?”) and his own Atomic Rooster before jumping ship to form ELP with pianist Emerson (formerly of The Nice) and bass player/vocalist/guitarist Lake (ex-of King Crimson.)

It was the heyday of British progressive rock, and at the time they formed, Emerson, Lake & Palmer was the genre’s super-group answer to the rock’s Eric Clapton-led Cream.

Incorporating synthesizers into their sound, the band - especially the influential, virtuosic Emerson - was highly theatrical in nature, with the keyboardist often delivering such visuals as throwing daggers into his B-3 organ, or performing dazzlingly intricate piano pieces at warp speed, that would leave ELP audiences astonished.

And Palmer, with his rotating drum kit, was the one who, rhythmically, set and maintained the frenetic pace.

“With ELP, the drums weren’t there to just keep time; they were almost a second lead instrument,” Palmer told Music Aficionado. “I had to play so many lines in unison. Yes, there were moments when I had to keep time, but the drums had to fulfill a very big role. Orchestral percussion was introduced into the picture.

“During those times when I had to play in unison with Keith, we worked those bits out very carefully, and then I had to decide, “Is this part on the hi-hat? Is that part on the tom-toms?” Every note was worked out for each instrument.”

Albums such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Tarkus, Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery - as well as a rock interpretation of Russian romantic classical composer Modest Moussorgsky’s Pictures At An Exhibition - quickly topped the charts and the trio filled arenas all over the world. After releasing two volumes of Works in 1977, the band laid plans for an ambitious tour that launched at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium in front of 78,000 fans and featured an orchestra. The orchestra only lasted a few performances due to financial constraints and ELP finished the tour as a trio.

After splitting in late 1978, ELP reformed in 1991, toured and recorded two more albums before permanently dissolving in 1998.

Palmer offered North Carolina’s Smoky Mountain News what he considered to be ELP’s recipe for success.

“I think the fact that we were a keyboard band and quintessentially English sounding - taking classical music and adapting it...putting it into mainstream rock and roll radio music,” he explained. “I think that’s what we all managed to do exceptionally well.”

M.Y.P.A.Cby Alison Broverman

Jade Jager Clark’s story sounds like something out of an inspirational teen movie. After auditioning -- and being rejected -- from her high school’s dance team two years in a row, Clark decided she didn’t need to be given permission to dance. She simply formed her own troupe, no auditions or previous training required -- just a passion for dance.

Now, a decade and a bit later, Clark runs Jade’s Hip Hop Academy (also known as JHHA), the Brampton dance studio she started in 2006, when she was just 18, while she was still enrolled at Humber College as a full time student.

In addition to offering a variety of classes for students of all ages, JHHA also has an in-house performance troupe, JHHA PC (Jade’s Hip Hop Academy Performance Company), which is made up of a number of young people under the age of 19, who have performed everywhere from the Air Canada Centre to The Ellen Show -- and, of course, the Rose Theatre Brampton.

Their latest project is a collaboration with popular local Woodbridge DJ Starting From Scratch. Save Our World – It’s Not Too Late is a special production of the Metropolitan Youth Performing

Arts Centre of Toronto (Clark is the Executive Director), an examination of sustainability and the power of the legacy of art in a world full of turmoil. “Climate Change, Disease, Poverty, War, Power of Technology and Social Media, Bullying, Discrimination, Corruption, Pollution….let’s see what happens when we address these issues through art and offer sustainable solutions, through the optimism, hope and strength of our Youth,” states the description of this ambitious show.

M.Y.P.A.C. Toronto is an organization dedicated to providing performing arts training and mentorship to young artists who might otherwise lack access to such programs.

“I was searching for a way to help change the world,” Clark writes on the M.Y.P.A.C. Toronto website. “[I] realized what better way to do that then with the talents that I have in the universal language that is Art to inspire Equality, Unity and Action to build a Sustainable Future for the Youth of Tomorrow.”

Save Our World -- It’s Not Too Late is the organization’s inaugural production, a celebration and showcase of the talents of Clark’s students.

Longtime fans of the classic Canadian CBC nightly news parody This Hour Has 22 Minutes should prepare for a great ab workout when the Rose Theatre presents An Evening with Cathy Jones & Mary Walsh on Oct. 24.

The laughs are going to last a lot longer than the ‘usual’ 22 minutes, when two of Canada’s most adored comediennes perform live on stage together.

The women, who were original cast members of the long-running CBC show, reunite for this double-bill that features an evening of pushing boundaries and pulling out the punchlines.

The Canadian comical icons will appear together to share their hysterical opinions on everything from aging and sex to diet and neuroses. Fans will also be delighted to see some of their most popular characters come to life on stage, and hear more of their off-the-wall political commentary.

Their history of working, and laughing, together goes further back than the 1993 premiere of This Hour Has 22 Minutes; Jones and Walsh were founding members of the award-winning Newfoundland-based comedy troupe CODCO, which ran from 1987 to 1992 on CBC.

Jones, who is the only remaining original cast member on This Hour

Has 22 Minutes after 24 seasons with the show, is known for her ability to play both female and male characters, including Mrs. Enid, Joe Crow, and Babe Bennett. Her outstanding career in comedy has earned her 18 Gemini Awards, and three Canadian Comedy Awards.

Walsh performed on This Hour Has 22 Minutes from 1993 until 2013, and was most recognized for her role of Marg Delahunty and her satirical interviews with politicians of the day. Walsh took the character one comedic step further when she introduced ‘Marg, Princess Warrior’, a parody of the character Xena: Warrior Princess. She’s also brought multiple laughs into living rooms across the nation with her characters Dakey Dunn, Miss Eulalia Turpon and Connie Bloor.

Walsh has also earned 18 Gemini Awards for her comedic mastery, as well as the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement in 2012.

Both women have also had successful runs in film and theatre over the years, and continue to bring laughter to Canadians everywhere.

This show, while uniquely funny and timely, does contain adult themes and content and is not recommended for children.

Jann Ardenby David Paterson

After nearly three decades in the spotlight, few performers can surprise and connect like Jann Arden.

Last year, the outspoken singer sparked a national conversation about Alzheimer’s disease with a heartfelt post on Facebook about the emotional toll of caring for her aging mother. Arden wrote about the swings in her aging mother’s personality, from paranoid and impatient in one moment to her old self the next, but concluded “it’s just life being life and you’ve gotta embrace it will all your heart pounding away on your sleeve.”

Broadway, My Way

october 13 & 14@ 8PM

DiD you KNow:

Thom Allison has performed

on Broadway, and was in the

original Canadian companies

of Miss Saigon, The Who’s

Tommy and Rent. Join him

on a journey through his

favourite songs and roles. You

don’t want to miss him!

The post created an outpouring of messages from others affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia, and drew media attention to the growing number of middle aged people trying to cope as their parents enter the final phases of their lives.

Arden has continued to write and talk publicly about her mother and is glad her posts can help a little. “It’s certainly been a forum for folks to talk to each other,” she says.

Arden, who rose to prominence in the early 1990s with hits like “I Would Die for You” and “Insensitive,” is famously outspoken. In her 2011 memoir Falling Backwards, she dealt frankly with subjects that another performer might have decided cut too close to the bone to air publically, like her father’s struggles with alcohol or visiting her brother in prison as he serves a life sentence for murder.

Today, her Twitter feed swings from pithy takes on her daily life – “Decaf. Drink of champions.” – to swipes at Donald Trump’s presidency that are infused with salty language.

Her straight-talking style and readiness with a quip to lighten the mood have won her fans as well as presenting gigs on TV and radio. She plans on bringing them with her to Brampton when she performs on the

Rose Main Stage on Oct. 11.Arden promises to take the audience on a “roller coaster ride of

emotions” in a show that will include material from most of her dozen albums as well as anecdotes from her years in the public eye.

“It’s going to be an incredibly intimate evening filled with a lot of laughs and a lot of twists and turns,” she says, adding that “anything

can and will happen.” With her wit and down-to-earth

style, Arden seems the consummate people person, thriving on swapping stories and sharing jokes. But she’s at her happiest at her rural home outside Calgary near where she grew up and away from the crowds and noise and mayhem of modern living.

“I love the quiet, the rustic, plain nature of my life,” she says. “I love

walking around in really terrible outfits and not worrying about what anybody thinks.

“I am always inspired by simple sentiment, and it doesn’t get any simpler than living in the trees.”

As for the future, Arden, who has won eight Juno awards and has a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, says she has “no idea” what’s ahead of her.

“I do know that I want to continue to be creative. I want to inspire younger artists and I want to challenge myself at every turn.”

I love the quiet, the rustic, plain nature

of my life”

Sam Reid, has felt more than his share of adrenaline rushes. As keyboard player in chart-topping Canadian rock band Glass Tiger, he has toured with Tina Turner, played stadiums packed with fans, won five Juno Awards and been nominated for a Grammy. A gig writing music for an airshow even opened the cockpit door to a flight with the Snowbirds, the aerial acrobatics squadron – an experience he calls “unbelievable.”

But sometimes you have to fly in calmer skies. After three decades of playing pounding rock anthems, Glass Tiger are trying out a new sound: acoustic.

The band went into the recording studio with Scottish singer-songwriter Johnny Reid and have emerged with stripped back versions of a dozen of their most famous songs, which they will bring to the Rose Main Stage on Oct. 14.

But Glass Tiger, known for high-energy hits in the 1980s like “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)” aren’t turning into a bunch of soulful strummers picking away at 12-string guitars.

“These aren’t campfire versions,” says Sam Reid. “This is amped-up acoustic.”

With these new versions, Glass Tiger have ranged widely over the musical map. “Someday,” one of the band’s signature songs, is given a gospel-like treatment; “My Town,” which originally featured Rod Stewart, now has a Celtic flavour.

As well as freeing them to explore new areas musically, the pared-down sound is also taking the former arena band into new territory physically.

“This show is a way for us to venture into places like theatres, that we wouldn’t usually play,” says Reid. The band debuted their

new versions in the plush surroundings of a Niagara winery and their performance the Rose will kick off a series of acoustic shows.

The new sound doesn’t come completely out of left field. Over the years, Glass Tiger have given their share of impromptu performances, playing versions of their hits on a couple of guitars. But their new show has a determined inventiveness to it. At times during the performance Glass Tiger will share the stage with a nine-piece pipe and drum band as well as Celtic dancers.

The Celtic overtones reflect lead singer Alex Frew’s Scottish roots and Reid’s daughter is a Celtic dancer who he’s hoping to persuade to perform at the Brampton show. But Reid admits it takes some getting used to: “It’s as mind-bending for us as it is for the audience,” he says.

The show will also feature stories and anecdotes from Glass Tiger’s three decades together. That kind of longevity is rare in the music business, especially among bands that achieve success early. Reid puts their staying power down to a respect among the band members for each other’s talents that means there’s not much stepping on toes.

In 2015, Frew, the lead singer, suffered a stroke. After months of treatment and rehabilitation, Reid says Frew is now in the best shape of his life. But the episode was a reminder that time can’t be held back, and the band that started as bunch of young guys are now men in their fifties.

Still, Glass Tiger continues to win over younger fans, many of whom weren’t even old enough to go to gigs in the band’s 1980s heyday.

“They grew up with the music in the house from their parents,” says Reid.“Alan often says to the audience: When someone tells us their

grannie thinks we’re hot, it’ll be time to quit.”

For up-and-coming bands, getting out there and relentlessly playing gigs is one of best routes to building a fan base. The more people see and hear a group, the more likely they are to want to buy their music.

Bands usually start out on the bar and club circuit – and that’s where most of them stay. But for the talented few, there’s a long and difficult path from playing a dimly lit room with a few dozen people to selling thousands of tickets and performing at festivals.

That’s why the Rose Theatre has partnered with Brampton music label SounDrive Records to create Drivewire, a platform to showcase the best emerging talented from the Greater Toronto Area.

Drivewire will be an essential evening for music lovers who enjoy discovering new sounds. For each show, the team at SounDrive Records will select three promising local bands that it considers are deserving of a wider audience.

So far, two shows are planned, on Oct. 21 and Dec. 9. Both will be held in the Studio Theatre, which Francesco Giuliano, co-owner of SounDrive, feels is a perfect venue.

“For band venues, there’s small bars to play or arenas, but there’s not much else in between, particularly in areas like Brampton,” he says Giuliano. “A venue like the Rose, which is right in the centre of the city, is perfect for those bands that have a fan base and are on the verge of breaking out.”

SounDrive was founded by Giuliano with his brother, Dominic, almost two years ago. The musician brothers saw a gap in the market to support local young performers.

“Both of us grew up as artists and we realized how hard it is to make your living as a musician,” says Giuliano.

He points to performers like Juno-nominated singer-songwriter Alyssa Reid as evidence of the strength of talent in Brampton, but says the city needs more outlets to for artists and music-lovers. He hopes Drivewire will help fill the gap.

Drivewire will draw from a wide pool of GTA artists, not just those signed to SounDrive, but the shows will reflect the record label’s focus on indie music.

The October show will lean towards punk and feature performances by Riot Acts and Words Like Wildfire. The headline act will be July, which have had some success in Japan and are about to put out a new record in Canada.

In December, the show will move into rock territory. The lineup will be Break the Trend and Mississauga rockers Uforia. It will be headlined by Toronto band Last Bullet, whose motto is to “play every show as if they only have one shot.”

Both performances will be emceed by Nav Nanwa, a Brampton media personality who used to host a show on Rogers TV.

If audiences respond well to the first two shows, Giuliano hopes Drivewire will grow into a regular feature of the local music circuit.

“We are excited to be part of this event,” he says. “It will really make a difference for the indie music scene in Brampton.”

Oh, don’t you worry, little ones, Australia’s The Wiggles will have all sorts of activities in mind for you upon their arrival.

Anthony, Emma, Lachy and Simon have brought not only their good friends Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus, but also dozens of catchy, interactive songs like “Do The Propeller” and “Dial E for Emma” that should keep you singing and dancing and make it a show that you and your parents will never forget.

And as much as they make it look oh so easy on stage, there’s probably a misconception surrounding just how hard these children’s entertainers actually work - especially in comparison with those pop and rock musicians situated at the other end of the spectrum.

If we’re looking at live shows, a rock star’s life isn’t necessarily as glamorous as it may seem. After traveling from one location to the next - usually by tour bus if they’ve reached a certain scope of popularity (and if they haven’t usually by van,) your typical headlining act may rise at 6 or 7 a.m. to perform or conduct an interview at a breakfast TV show or a radio station; fill the rest of their day with interviews and/or TV appearances to promote the show or their latest album; conduct a hour-or-two-long sound check at the venue for that night’s show; grab a nap and dinner, then perform a concert that could start anywhere from 8 p.m. to 12 p.m. (again, depending on the venue,) last two hours and see them finally get to bed around 2 a.m., only to repeat the routine the next day.

Again, depending on the size of the act, this could occur anywhere from 125 to 285 days a year. Sounds exhausting, doesn’t it?

For acts like The Wiggles and other children’s entertainers, the schedule may seem easier on the surface: during their recent Australia tour, a Wiggles show began at 10 a.m. and probably lasted no longer than an hour, giving them the rest of the day off to relax and recharge, right?

Not so fast. Usually, if the Wiggles performed at 10 a.m., it was the first concert of three that day, with the last one starting around 6 or 7 p.m. But here’s the eye-opener: in 2016 alone, The Wiggles performed 332 shows in 143 theatres around the world, to 330,000 fans.

Three hundred and 32 shows!!!Take them apples, Justin Bieber!

This year, The Wiggles are doing it all over again - performing at home, in New Zealand, the U.K., Ireland, the United States and here in Canada. No wonder Forbes Magazine once pegged The Wiggles’ one-year income at US $28.2 million - they certainly earned it.

And live performances only mark one aspect of The Wiggles empire: there are numerous TV series - including their latest, Ready, Steady, Wiggle on Treehouse TV Canada - DVDs and CDs out there as well, plus all the creating, planning and

rehearsal to make all their shows and music palatable for young ears. The Wiggles work up quite a sweat!They’ve also been doing it for so long - they began in Sydney, Australia

back in 1991 - that except for Anthony (Blue), the rest of the core cast (Emma - Yellow, Lachy - Purple and Simon - Red) are second generation Wiggles, joining in 2012 with the retirement of some of the originals.

ABC Kids in their wonderful Wiggle Town TV series.

The wiggles Big Show!Get ready to Wiggle, CANADA! The world’s favourite children’s entertainment group, The Wiggles, are coming to perform for you as part of their BIG SHOW World tour! This brand new show will see Emma, Lachy, Simon and Anthony perform all over Canada, from the East Coast to the West Coast. The Wiggles BIG SHOW tour will run from September through to November of this year! Come along and “Do the Propeller” or “Dial E for Emma,” and if Lachy falls asleep, call out “Wake up Lachy!” The Wiggles BIG SHOW will feature some of their most loved songs such as Hot Potato and Rock A Bye Your Bear. The fab four of fun will of course be joined by their Wiggly friends Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus, along with the Wiggly red coat dancers. Emma, Lachy, Simon and Anthony are looking forward to bringing The Wiggles Big Show to Canada - their Biggest show yet! You better get a Wiggle on and get your tickets to The Wiggles BIG SHOW tour now, they’re selling like hot potatoes!

Liv On is a project founded on grief and resilience. Olivia Newton-John, Amy Sky, and Beth Nielsen Chapman have a few things in common, including successful recording careers and great singing voices. The three musicians, who are also good friends, have also all gone through difficult times of grief and loss.

“The LIV ON project was conceived out of the desire to transform my grief into healing,” writes Newton-John on the Liv On blog. She has just lost her sister, Rona, and she reached out to her friend and colleague Sky to help write and record a special song for Rona. Sky had previously produced Newton-John’s very personal Grace and Gratitude album, so it was natural for Newton-John to turn to her again.

After the initial song for Rona, Newton-John and Sky started talking about producing a whole album to heal grief, and they ended up asking Nashville singer-songwriter Chapman to join them on the project.

“We wrote the songs for LIV ON over three opportunities where we could get together, no small feat considering our crazy schedules,” writes Newton-John. “The songs flowed out of us like water, easily and freely, as we worked our way through our own stories of loss… with many tears and much laughter.”

The songs on the album Liv On are meant to convey compassion and comfort to listeners who may also be going through a hard time, to let

people know they aren’t alone. “We found that any time we shared a vulnerable part of us, we felt such an overwhelming feeling of kinship and relief… that we were not alone with our pain,” Newton-John has said. “We hope these songs that came from the depths of us, will offer a place of comfort to others.”

The song Stone in my Pocket, for example, was inspired by something a friend said to Newton-John while on a thoughtful walk about how grief is something you cope with, but it just feels like you have a stone in your pocket. “And it is,” says Newton-John in a promotional video on the Liv On YouTube channel. “Some days it feels really heavy and some days it feels really light. It’s always there...it’s all part of gaining wisdom and gaining life.”

The song deals with the idea that grief is always there even if you’re pretending to act normal. “I feel like a lot of people feel they have to hide it, because you socially want to be accepted,” she goes on to say. “So it’s a very difficult place to be when you’re in mourning, because you don’t quite know how to fit in.”

Newton-John, Sky and Chapman will present Liv On live on stage at the Brampton Rose Theatre in October -- just a few months after Newton-John has undergone treatment for breast cancer (she was first diagnosed with the disease in the early 1990s).

When actor Denise Fennell was sent a script for a Late Nite Catechism production by the show’s co-creator Maripat Donovan, she shrugged it off.

She wasn’t interested in playing a nun, ‘Sister’, in the one-woman show that had a demanding script and though comedic, was steeped in theology. Fennell already had a good thing going in New York City, cast as a one of the leads in the off-Broadway hit Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding.

But, Donovan had seen her perform, and saw a spark in her that she couldn’t ignore, so she persisted.

So Fennell eventually agreed to read the script, but turned it down – she wasn’t well versed in the Catholic religion, and wasn’t sure she was a good fit.

“Maripat called me right up and said ‘Are you kidding me? Are you an actress or not?’ and told me I was passing up an opportunity of a lifetime,” recalls Fennell. Donovan sent Fennell plane ticket to L.A. and rehearsed her for three weeks.

Ask Fennell now, and she’ll tell you Donovan was right.“It changed my life,” she said. “I started about eight years ago, and

I’ve done all the Late Nite Catechism shows.”This fall, she’ll star in Late Nite Catechism: The Holy Ghost and

Other Terrifying Tales which comes to the Rose Theatre Oct. 20 for its Canadian premiere.

“It’s a really funny show,” says Fennell who is the first Sister to perform this version of the show. “We’re talking about Halloween, which is typically a time to dress up and bob for apples and go door to door. But Sister is very upset about the evolution of Halloween and

wants to educate the class on its real purpose and Catholic origins.”Anyone who’s familiar with the Late Nite Catechism series knows

that Sister expects full participation from her ‘classroom’, and she comes to this show with some hysterical ‘lessons’ planned – such as how to build a proper Catholic Halloween costume, or two.

“This show is a little more relaxed than the others,” Fennell says. “Sister is a little more laid back with the curriculum, and she’s maybe going to allow the class do some of the things she doesn’t usually allow – but it’s still entirely off-the-wall funny and completely insane.”

A highly interactive production, both for the audience and for Sister, the show is a completely unique experience each time. The audience drives the comedy, and though Fennell is – and has to be – an expert in improve, she says it’s the ‘students’ in class who make the show a success.

The script, she says, is also kept up to date with references to current events, trends and news – which adds another dimension to the humour in the show.

For Fennell, it will be somewhat nostalgic to perform at the Rose Theatre this fall. Her first experience at the Rose Theatre was a monumental one, performing as Sister at a venue that seats nearly 900 patrons. “I’m excited to come back to the Rose Theatre. That’s the theatre that empowered me to know I could play at larger venues,” she says.

But she hopes the show will rouse excitement with the audience as it’s a brand new show for Brampton, and there’s no shortage of hilarious tricks and treats to roll out for this Halloween-themed show.

“Besides,” she adds with a laugh, “I’ve got a lot to talk about.”

For the bands Helix and Lee Aaron, sharing a stage is nothing new. They were both popular Canadian metal acts in the 1980s and, according to Aaron, have crossed paths on that circuit many times over the past 30 years. “I’ve known Brian Volmer and Helix for over 25 years! We had hits at the same time in the 80’s and 90’s and have shared stages many times in the past three decades,” she says via email from her home in Vancouver. “I also did a duet with Brian in 1992 on their song Look Me Straight in The Heart from the It’s a Business doing Pleasure album. We’re are both originally from the Toronto area and played a rotation of the same venues years ago, and continue to play many of the same venues and festivals today. We all cut our teeth touring the Canadian outback so there is a mutual respect that exists around that. We are both still writing and recording current music 30 years on. We are connected by all those things.”

So it’s natural that they’ll be teaming up for a show together at the Brampton Rose Theatre in October. But with the theatre’s great acoustics and relative luxury, it’s a far cry from some of the bars they played when both bands were still starting out. “We started out in the Canadian bar circuit, playing for no money, endless days on the road, three to five sets a night,” says Helix’s Brian Vollmer. “Nowadays everyone’s focused on the music. We mainly play weekends. No

traveling in buses. We play nice places with good sound systems. We eat well. We get paid well.”

Vollmer laughs, recalling the renovated schoolbus (which didn’t even have heat -- “you’d wake up and see your breath, says Vollman) that Helix used to tour in, which may have been a frugal method of transportation, but wasn’t a particularly comfortable one. But although the surroundings may have changed, the band’s attitude hasn’t. “We go out there and it doesn’t matter if the room’s full or empty, we play with the same intensity,” says Vollman. “I think going through those tough times in the bars made us appreciate where we are today.”

For Aaron, her love the audience has stayed consistent over the years. “I get a lot of joy from relating to the audience. I like to connect with them in a personal way as we all share similar experiences now like parenthood, getting older and our continued love of music,” she says. “I’d like break down that wall between audience and performer and have folks feel like they know a bit personally by the end of the show. I also always take the time to sign autographs and meet people after the performance. That’s one of my favorite parts actually.”

Vollman also gets enormous joy from performing live. “I’m still in it to be onstage, singing the songs,” he says. “It’s the meat and bones stuff, like making music, and friends that’s the important thing.”
