The Lionyls are playing the NAC Presents 5th Anniversary party on Saturday night (Jan. 9th) along with U.S. Girls, Tribe Called Red and Mehdi Cayenne. The party is open to the public and you can buy tickets by going to the NAC's website. We talk to Robbie who plays guitar with the Lionyls about the group's rock, funk, r&b sound and influences on him as a rockin'-funky guitarist. http://nac-cna.ca/en/event/12824 Rory Magill checks in with us about the upcoming Rake Star show - at the Mercury Lounge next Thursday, January 14th. Saturn to Mercury is the name of the show and it will be another show that is out of this world paying tribue to Sun Ra and his amazing music and spirit. https://www.facebook.com/rakestar9 https://rakestar3.wordpress.com Finally we have the music of Sheesham and Lotus and Son - a group that pays tribute to amazing old time music and recently made some recordings using the same methods that were used to record 78 RPMs back in the early parts of the 20th century. The sound is amazing and reminds me of old 78s my Dad played for me and my siblings many years ago. We talk to Teilhard about the recording process and the amazing sound of this group. You can hear them playing at the Rosemount Hall, 41 Rosesmount Avenue this Friday night - January 8th. It's a presentation of the Old Sod Contra Dance group. http://www.ottawacontra.ca/view/?concert http://sheeshamandlotus.com/ Get out and see some live music this week!
