In Concert - Garth Brooks

The 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede is fast approaching and there was a big concert announcement this morning. Garth Brooks will be playing a show in Calgary on July 12th at the Scotiabank Saddledome. I know we don't post much in terms of country on this blog... but this is big news. Garth is one of the best selling musicians of all time in the United States following only Elvis and The Beatles.

Ticket information will be announced this coming Tuesday.



Yeehaw!

Bry Webb - Provider

Last night I had the privilege of watching Feist play at the Jack Singer Concert Hall in Calgary, Alberta. It was my first time seeing her live and I am glad I went to see her. The Calgary crowd kept their emotions fairly repressed during her songs simply absorbing what she offered; people wanted to listen. However, after every song ended everyone offered up their thanks with loud applause and cheering.

It's funny how a mood can be set collectively from a thousand people. Some concerts people seem ready to cheer and be loud throughout the concert, while at others the crowd wants to sit in silence.

The quiet mood at the Feist show may have been in part to the opener, Bry Webb. This ex-lead singer/guitarist of The Constantines opened the show and sang to crowd slowly strumming his guitar with a slide guitar crying in the background. It reminded me remotely of Damien Rice's style of music. I really enjoyed his stuff and am planning on picking up his new album.

You can check out a couple tracks below (I suggest Rivers of Gold) from his new album Provider (Nov 15th).
