FISH & BIRD LIVE @ CAFE LE HIBOU!! GOOD FRIDAY October 11, 2013 @ 9PM Sharp $15
Howdy everyone!! They are coming back for show number three on Good Friday October 11, 2013. Bring your families out to see this amazing band Live!! If you missed the sold-out shows the first two times you don't want to miss this one!! They bring Bluegrass & Blues to the next level. Fish & Bird's latest album, Every Whisper is a Shout Across the Void, marks a major step forward for the young band. The project began in Victoria, BC in 2006 as an acoustic duo, comprised of Taylor Ashton (banjo, guitar, vocals) and Adam Iredale-Gray (fiddle). On their 2007 self titled debut, their take on 'folk' included original songs in odd time signatures and traditional murder ballads with rock beats. 2009's Left Brain Blues was a more mature exploration of the space between folk traditions and reckless creativity, with Ashton & Gray playing multiple instruments on each song, and toying with the formats that inspired them. Some of the friends they enlisted to help fill out the sound on the record and at live shows eventually became permanent members of the band, and now Fish & Bird are the five-piece indie-folk powerhouse we know today. They have weird vocal improv sections, they rock out in 11/8, sometimes it seems like they're playing bluegrass, and they might make you cry. Please call Le Hibou at 819 459 8883 or email me at spillytalker@gmail.com to reserve tickets. $15. Well worth it!!! Believe me, you will not forget their sound and show!! Brilliant!!! Here are some links if you would like to check out their sound!!! ...http://www.myspace.com/

RYKKA CD Release at CAFE LE HIBOU Saturday June 29th at 9PM $13adv $15door
Howdy all of you
tremendously fit to listen to Music at its best Lovers! We have a
serious treat for all of you coming up on Saturday June 29. Stopping in
for one night only at Cafe Le Hibou is Rykka. She is a serious Pop
Sensation and will perform an acoustic gig in our little town. This is
the show to catch at Cafe Le Hibou this year!! Mark my words down in Pen
in your planners or at least with a digital pen in your notepads,
iPhones and droid devices. Here is a little bit about her New Album ...
The 12 songs that make up Rykka's debut album, Kodiak, were penned in the European farmhouse where she composed for much of 2011. Sessions subsequently took place in Vancouver's Mushroom Studios and District Four Recordings with input from engineer Sean Penner (You Say Party! We Say Die!), mixer Warne Livesey (Matthew Good Band, 54:40), and producer Ryan Guldemond (Mother Mother, Hannah Georgas).
"Ryan has a really strong vision," Rykka notes. "I wanted to work with him because I knew that we would clash. He fights for his idea and I fight for mine, and what we come away with is the right thing to do."
All of Kodiak's tracks are sung from the perspective of different animals — "Blackie" a murder of crows, "Down in the Depths" deep sea fish — but they carry unquestionably human themes and concerns. Listening to Rykka's cryptic yet relatable poetry, fans might never realize that the protagonists are not people.
Here are some links to her website and her latest video ...

The Unseen Strangers have ambitiously cultivated a musical identity shaped by good old-fashioned bluegrass, the limitless barrage of contemporary musical influences, and a relentlessly curious sense of humour. The Strangers draw from the beeps and buzzes of the modern world to create an imaginative, energetic brand of acoustic music that is unmistakably their own. The band has toured Eastern Canada three times, performing showcases at NXNE and OCFF to name a few, and is a favorite at festivals featuring genres spanning Folk, Country, Bluegrass, Rock, and Electronic.
In 2007 The Unseen Strangers formed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Within two years, the Strangers’ debut release “Shoot First” won the 2009 Music Nova Scotia Award for “Country/Bluegrass Recording of the Year”.
In 2010 The Unseen Strangers left the East coast and headed for Toronto, Ontario to record their sophomore release with acclaimed producer Andrew Collins. The move to Toronto reinvigorated the Strangers, the group boasts two new skilled musicians, Matt Elwood on 5 string banjo/vocals and Mike Mezzatesta on mandolin.
The group just released their third studio effort, “Follow the Sound EP” and went on a successful tour of the East coast in fall 2012. The full-length album “Follow the Sound” is completed and scheduled for release in spring 2013. The album includes 11 original songs featuring, “Facebook Waltz”, which won the humorous category for the 2012 “OCFF Songs from the Heart” songwriting competition and “Rambler’s Plea”, which won the 2012 International Acoustic Music Award for Bluegrass/Country Song of the Year.
“The Unseen Strangers aren’t pretending to be cowboys. They’ll interrupt themselves for an instrumental breakdown of I Like To Move It…” – The Globe and Mail
