An evening with Don Amero is a new take on the classic travelling troubadour. With a combination of original music and classic covers like Blue Rodeo’s “Try”, it falls somewhere between a family friendly stand up comedy show and an intimate concert. Between the witty banter, laughs, heartfelt music and inspiring stories, it is an experience for the whole family. Don believes that music is medicine and reaches a depth of the soul that no prescription can offer. We’ve all felt the power of a melody, lyric or song – it has an almost supernatural ability to move us on an emotional level. In his performance Don takes the listener on an emotional journey – leaving the audience encouraged and inspired to take better care of themselves and others. From the stage, he shares the joys and pitfalls of being husband, father and musician in today’s world. With a heavy dose of humour, he connects with an easy and effortless charm as he shares his real life stories and songs with his audience.

With a decade and a half of bringing their special blend of Gypsy jazz and revisited cover songs, Christine Tassan et les Imposteures have made a name for themselves on the music scene. The latest show of these four exquisitely talented musicians brings together some of the best works by Django Reinhardt, Félix Leclerc and American swing composers. With a singular mix of virtuosity, daring and humour, the string band draws inspiration from one artist’s poetry and the other’s swing to weave a rich new musical universe. They’ve expanded their concept to the wonderful swing music of some contemporary "friends" of Django and Félix. They revisit hit songs created by George Gershwin, Louis Prima or Charlie Chaplin and blend them nicely with Django’s beautiful melodies.
