SUMMARY:Socalled
DESCRIPTION:Montreal based Yiddish hip-hop (yes that’s right!) artist Josh ‘Socalled’ Dolgin is an unstoppable creative force: accordion player\, pianist\, singer\, rapper\, and composer. His unique blend of klezmer\, hiphop\, and funk erases boundaries that separate cultures\, eras\, and generations. Samples of Yiddish classics from a bygone time back lyrics about love and belonging making his surprising music as fun and danceable it is moving and evocative.\nSocalled is a Juno nominee\, the star of a feature length NFB documentary and has played Carnegie Hall (twice!)\, The Apollo Theatre and more.  He has written a puppet musical and a hip-hop Passover Seder and so much more!\nJoining him on stage will be long-time collaborator vocalist Katie Moore\, Michale Felber on bass\, and Nizo Alimov on Trumpet.\nJoin us after for knishes and more delicious snacks  prepared by Primo’s Deli.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPut a Yid on It! Festival of New Yiddish Culture\nThe language of our ancestors remains ‘written in our bones’ and is a part of our unconscious lives. It’s hard to imagine that only 80 years ago 11 million people spoke\, wrote\, sang\, and dreamt in this 1000-year-old language! It spanned throughout all Eastern Europe and spread wherever our people travelled. Never the majority language of a nation state but the language of a pan national community of Ashkenazi Jews ‘scattered among the nations’ enriched by and enriching so many other languages and cultures while still carrying its uniqueness with it.\nSince WWII Yiddish has become less common\, but as any Yiddishist will tell you\,  the idea that it is dying is wrong (if not complete heresy!). And they are very right.\nIn this festival we will reach through time and present some of the great works of art – movies\, music\, and more\, – in and inspired by the Yiddish language!\nTickets\nRadyJCC Ticket Central \nFor more information:\nhttps://www.radyjcc.com/put-a-yid-on-it-festival-of-new-yiddish-culture/

SUMMARY:IKYY
DESCRIPTION:This show is presented by Live Nation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEver since he broke through with the 2018 single “Diamond”\, Canadian producer and composer Ikwinder Singh aka Ikky has been lighting up the charts with his distinct brand of hip–hop\, pop and Punjabi music\, both at home and through the rest of the world. \nThe 23-year-old Rexdale\, Ontario-based artist has garnered over a billion streams across the globe with such career-defining hits as “Diamond” with Gurnam Bhullar\, which has more than 600 million YouTube views until date\, and “Baller” with Shubh\, which has more than 100 million streams on Spotify alone. \nA master of collaboration\, Ikky has helmed smashes like “Bambiha Bole” with Amrit Maan and Sidhu Moosewala\, and “Chauffeur” with Diljit Dosanjh and Tory Lanez\, while his long list of production credits includes releases by most of the major names in the contemporary Punjabi music industry\, from Garry Sandhu and Himmat Sandhu to Ammy Virk and Mankirt Aulakh. \nIn February\, Ikky scored his biggest crossover success yet when “52 Bars”\, the lead single off his collaborative EP with Karan Aujla Four You debuted in the top 15 of Billboard’s Canadian Hot 100 chart. That same week\, the EP landed straight in the top 20 of the publication’s Canadian Albums survey. \nIkky’s tracks have been featured on over 300 playlists to date including Today’s Hits\, Punjabi Hits\, Future Hits and Breaking Punjabi on Apple Music\, and Punjabi 101\, Hot Hits Punjabi\, Hip Te Hop and Punjabi Swag on Spotify\, on which he currently boasts over six million monthly listeners. \n“My biggest power right now is bringing people together\,” says Ikky who stands out for his ability to combine his international influences of hip-hop\, R&B\, reggae and pop with rustic Punjabi rhythms to fashion tunes that are a seamless mix of authenticity and experimentation. “When I’m making music\, I’m not thinking about it as a Punjabi song\,” he says. “I just think of it as a song.” \n\nIf there were a way to describe his syncretic sound\, it would be  “groovy\, forward-thinking Punjabi music”. “That’s really the best way I can put it\,” says Ikky. “To be forward thinking\, you’ve got to be from the past\, right? With the melodies and the lyrics\, I just keep it so desi that the music could be completely different from your standard bhangra rhythms and it’ll sound good.” \nAmong Ikky’s strengths is his knack of getting artists to move out of their comfort zone\, as exemplified on his newest release “On God (Freestyle)” with Bhalwaan. “It was a lot of fun getting to work with Bhalwaan on this track\,” says Ikky. “Bhalwaan was really open and honest\, in a way I don’t think we usually get to see from him. Being able to build a sonic world around what he was going through was an honour.” \nWhile he’s only in his early twenties\, Ikky already has over a decade of experience both as a performer and a producer. He thanks his parents for empowering him to forge a career in music\, which remains an unconventional choice for most south Asian families. \nAs children\, his brother and he were encouraged by their musician father to hone their innate talent by putting up performances of Punjabi folk songs at community parties. It was for these shows that Ikky decided to try his hand at beat making when he was a mere 12 years old. “I started producing because we didn’t have a band\,” he says. “We would play the tracks off a USB and sing over them.” \nWhen he got into high school\, his musical interests turned towards hip-hop and reggae. “For some reason\, I always had an ear for the beat side of music\,” says Ikky\, who counts producers Sukshinder Shinda (Jazzy B\, Amrinder Gill) and Tru Skool (Karan Aujla)\, along with Dr. Dre and 40 (Drake)\, as his core formative influences. \nToday\, Ikky\, who began producing professionally in his teens\, is taking that legacy forward through his label 4N (pronounced ‘foreign’) Records and 4N Nights concert event series. \nLaunched in 2021 in partnership with Warner Music and Coalition Music\, 4N Records is a manifestation of Ikky’s mission to “create songs and collaborations that will bridge the gap between India’s exploding music scene and the rest of the world”. \nThus far\, 4N Records’s slate of releases have included “80 90” with Ikky’s mentors Amrit Maan and Garry Sandhu; the EP Say My Name with rising singer/rapper NseeB; a remake of the Bill Withers classic “Ain’t No Sunshine” with Himmat Sandhu and Preston Pablo that was put out as a Spotify single; “She’s The One” with late legend Soni Pabla; and the Latin-flavoured “Hello Hello Hola” with Garry Sandhu\, MC Devo and Las Villa. They’re each a gleaming example of the forward-thinking Punjabi music that Ikky has pioneered. \nThe 4N Nights bhangra and hip-hop concerts/parties\, organised in partnership with Live Nation\, kicked off at The Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver in January. The series is an extension of his constant endeavour to showcase South Asian talent\, which has historically been under-represented both on the charts and on the live stage. \n“I really just want to make sure that once the door opens for Punjabi music worldwide\, it will flood the gates\,” says Ikky. By all estimates\, 2023 is the year for taking India to the world. And Ikky\, who is currently working on an EP as a lead artist\, will be at the forefront of that imminent moment. \n\nTickets on sale\nTickets for Ikky | TicketWeb – West End Cultural Centre in Winnipeg\, CA

SUMMARY:Hotel Mira with special guest Fake Shark
DESCRIPTION:Following their recent string of chart singles\, Hotel Mira — the venerable West Coast quartet steered by frontman/songwriter Charlie Kerr — have returned with their first full-length release in over three years\, I Am Not Myself. Their hip-swerving\, passionately pop-contorting contemplation of identity sees release September 8 through longtime label Light Organ Records. \nA lot has changed since the early 2020 release of Hotel Mira’s breakthrough release\, Perfectionism. That album’s finely honed and honest on mental health and personal struggles took the band on their biggest tours yet\, building a passionate fandom across North America. As Hotel Mira’s profile grew\, vocalist Kerr was undergoing a time of transformation himself\, writing the bulk of I Am Not Myself while traveling between Vancouver and his now adopted-home of Los Angeles. While Kerr admits his anxieties over the move bled into his lyrics\, he soon realized I Am Not Myself’s mix of autobiography and tragi-comic character portraits likewise reflected a profound loss of self. \n“I kept going back to the same word\, which was ‘Identity\,’” he says of the connective threads running through the album’s 12 tracks\, further suggesting that I Am Not Myself — its title a key line from “Dancing With the Moonlight” — takes place within various points of an identity crisis. Sometimes\, that means breaking free from the social constructs others impose on you (“Eventually”); other times it means gleefully — perhaps even chaotically — lobotomizing yourself while in the throes of young love (“Fever Pitch”\, “King of the World”); other times\, it means digging for truths through the blurriness of all-night party (“Dancing With the Moonlight”). “Drugs and alcohol come up a lot\,” Kerr suggests of the latter. “You know\, sex\, fame\, and all of that feels tied to this idea: ‘What am I getting away from by diving into all of this so deeply?’” \nWhat’s sure is that Hotel Mira are as vulnerable as ever\, and ready to share that rawness with others who may be facing these same challenges. “We set out with the idea of making anthems for aliens — really\, really catchy pop songs for outcasted people\,” Kerr explains of the album’s varied\, but nonetheless anthemic tunes\, which come tailor-made for “people to scream together.” \nHotel Mira have already tested this theory out to great success over the past year\, preceding I Am Not Myself with single releases for “Fever Pitch” (#6 on the Mediabase Can-Alternative radio chart)\, “Eventually”\, “Dancing With the Moonlight” (#13 on the Mediabase Can-Alternative radio chart)\, “Mama” and “Everything Once”. While building off the sharp\, pop-rock hooks Perfectionism\, Hotel Mira are likewise exploring their widest set of sounds yet\, vaulting from neon-trashy garage rock\, to festival-sized pop hooks\, glam-bop balladry\, and tropi-goth workouts. \nThrough it all\, Kerr and co. are working with an increasingly raw and determined sensitivity. On I Am Not Myself’s closing “Age of Detachment\,” the vocalist distills the album’s themes of love\, loss\, identity\, and the embracing of community with a heart-pounding pledge: “I want to take off the armour.” In I Am Not Myself\, Hotel Mira have found the profound pathway to connect it all. \n“I think that there is value to expressing unsavory things about oneself\, and peeling away shame\,” Kerr confesses. “If this music has a purpose\, I think it’s to show people how engulfed by shame we are\, and how universal that is to the human experience. By pinpointing my own\, hopefully people are more forgiving of theirs.” \nI Am Not Myself was recorded in various studios across British Columbia alongside producers Adam Kasper (Nirvana\, Foo Fighters)\, Ryan Worsley (Fake Shark)\, Steve Bays (Fur Trade\, Hot Hot Heat)\, Parker Bossley (Fur Trade)\, Louise Burns\, James Younger and more. \nHotel Mira are Charlie Kerr (vocals)\, Clark Grieve (guitar)\, Mike Noble (bass)\, and Cole George (drums). \nTickets\nHotel Mira \, FEBRUARY 2\, 2024 – DOOR TIME: 7:00 PM | F7 Entertainment Group

SUMMARY:WINTERRUPTION 2024
DESCRIPTION:Making Movies w/ El Leon & The Strangers\nSiembra y llegará. As Making Movies delivers its fourth album\, XOPA\, the Kansas City band proves true the maxim which\, in English\, is like an encouraging version of “reap what you sow.” Meant to inspire its recipient to push forward\, the phrase is chanted on the LP’s multi-movement epic\, “La Primera Radio” — but it’s exemplary\, too\, of Making Movies’ musical odyssey. \nThis is a band that makes American music with an asterisk: because Making Movies’ sound encompasses the entirety of the Americas\, not solely the country inarguably centered in mainstream everything. It’s through this broader perspective that Making Movies crunches classic rock into Latin American rhythms — African-derived percussion and styles like rumba\, merengue\, mambo and cumbia — in a way that feels oddly familiar\, yet delivers the invigorating chills of hearing something singularly special. \nEach member — Enrique Chi\, vocalist\, guitarist\, and songwriter; his brother Diego Chi\, bassist and experimental vocalist; percussionist Juan-Carlos Chaurand; and Duncan Burnett\, newly incorporated into the band on drums — is enthusiastically committed to music history\, to uncovering connections between genres and cultures both their own and otherwise. They’re all lifelong musicians too\, hailing from disparate yet similar backgrounds — parents that cherished music\, fathers that kickstarted cultural movements\, families in which gospel is critical to their very existence. \n“The goal is to create music that includes every bit of our individual identities\,” Enrique says. “Music is our way to find a deeper understanding of our own stories. It’s a healing of sorts.” \nBut none of this earned understanding precludes the group’s perpetual evolving. Enrique Chi\, lead vocalist\, guitarist\, and songwriter\, is compelled to share knowledge\, but like any sincere historian\, though\, he also listens. It’s impossible to know everything; in musical lore and its future there is still so much yet to be uncovered. \nThe band’s collective yearning for exploration has attracted a nexus of connections\, many of them legendary players\, like Steve Berlin of iconic rock band Los Lobos\, a recurring collaborator and steadfast champion of the band. An approach from beloved Panamanian musician Rubén Blades led to joint songs like “No te Calles” and “Cómo Perdonar.” Making Movies has also created with indie-folk band Hurray for the Riff Raff\, trumpeter Asdru Sierra of Ozomatli\, Puerto Rican salsero Frankie Negrón\, and all-female mariachi group Flor de Toloache. On the heels of Making Movies’ 2019 album ameri’kana\, the band worked on an eponymous documentary series\, through which they connected with the legendary organist Reverend Charles Hodges\, an soul music pioneer who played alongside Al Green\, and fellow Memphis\, Tennessee\, musicians the Sensational Barnes Brothers. \nMaking Movies creates music that is undoubtedly pedagogical\, yet inarguably kinetic. And their live shows\, despite the precision with which they perform\, are not lacking in dynamism. Every time they perform\, they are wholly present\, feeling every original groove with the same rush of as when they first found it. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors – 7:00pm\nShow – 8:00pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets on Eventbrite \n$25.00 + Service Fees \nAll tickets subject to service fees \nMaking Movies w/ El Leon & The Strangers Tickets\, Sun\, 28 Jan 2024 at 8:00 PM | Eventbrite \n
