From down under...THE LITTLE STEVIES!

by Malcolm Petch
We’re used to having bands from within BC or Canada as the show-pieces at our venue. Every once in a while we get a treat from outside our borders, and the July 23 appearance of Australia-based The Little Stevies looks like it’s going to be a wonderful performance.

No strangers to international touring, The Little Stevies came to North America twice in 2010. In February the band traveled to Memphis for an industry showcase in front of North Amercian festival organizers, promotors, and booking agents – reportedly stealing the spotlight and receiving overwhelming audience response and support. They carried with them to Tennessee their first full-length album, “Love Your Band”.

Fueled by the positive energy of their premiere North American experience, The Little Stevies started work on their second album as soon as they had returned to Australia. Stepping out of their initial two recording’s DIY roots, TLS sifted through various producers and ended up hiring LA’s Ethan Allan to work with them on their third project. This required flying to the USA a second time for their recording sessions, so late in the summer of 2010 the band headed back to Los Angeles. After four weeks of recording “Attention Shoppers”, the band hit the road again, covering both coasts of the United States and making excursions into Canada – including an appearance at Ottawa’s Ontario Council of Folk Festivals music conference.

Their performance at Streaming Café will be part of The Little Stevies’ third trip to our continent. This time around The Little Stevies are here – exclusively in Canada this time – for a total of seven weeks, playing about 35 times at four festivals and 25 other locations, and putting in at least 3,000 km of on-the-ground driving distance.

It’s not easy to simply categorize The Little Stevies as a ‘folk’ act, despite their three-part harmonies and their association with the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals. Michael, our talent-booking guy, has classed them as Alternative, Folk, Indie, Pop, and that seems to be a good summary. The tracks from their new release (“Attention Shoppers”) definitely have a poppier sound than earlier work, with tight harmonies and more ‘produced’ arrangements. Their first albums (2007’s “Grow Up” EP, and 2009’s “Love Your Band”), on the other hand, have more of an acoustic/alternative flare that drifts into new folk on occasion.

The Little Stevies have a great music player on their site that allows visitors to listen to some of their newest recordings. It’s a great way to get familiar with the music of this out-of-the-country band before coming to hear them in the café.

The Little Stevies are a big deal in their homeland. For example, in March last year they were the supporting act for Grammy Award-winning country legend Nanci Griffith when she played Melbourne and Sydney, and Griffith even called the three Stevies back on stage at the end of her show to join her in singing the classic “Hammer Song” (you know the one: ‘If I had a hammer…’).

It is a real privilege to have The Little Stevies join us at Streaming Café. Check out their music (http://thelittlestevies.com/) and see what kind of a treat you’ll be in for – and then come out to catch them in person on July 23 at 7:00 p.m. If you can’t be here – like if you’re following the band back home in OZ – then be sure to catch them online at www.streamingcafe.net; you’ll be glad you did!

Ari Neufeld`s Live Album Release Show

by Malcolm Petch
At long last, Ari Neufeld has recorded a live album, and he’ll be releasing it during a showcase performance at the Streaming Café on July 16.

At long last? Yes, at long last. Anyone who has followed the music and musings of the immensely talented Ari will know that his live performances are stunning, both in their energy level and in their depth of impact. Ari has done a good deal of recording before now, and the recordings are worthy archives of the songs – but his music absolutely comes to life in the live environment, where his guitar playing and vocals and ability to perform percussion with his feet and legs all come together in an amazingly energetic and mesmerizing mix. Ari calls it Full Contact Folk.

And his songwriting is superb. There is a range to Ari’s songwriting that goes well outside the bounds of the ordinary. These aren’t pop songs with quirky hooks that listeners remember for a week and which are then discarded on the ash-heap of mediocrity and past popularity (wow – I like that line; I’m gonna have to write it down). No, these are superbly crafted life packages, with beautiful, memorable melodies and distinctive and original rhythms. And the lyrics are remarkable and full-bodied; they reveal a depth of soul and character which a man as young as Ari is not supposed to possess.

Okay, I realize the previous two paragraphs may sound pompous and presumptuous. And, personally, I usually dislike that type of embellished and embroidered fluff. But I have been a fan of Ari’s since he was in his teens, and those previous paragraphs are actually not exaggeration. I mean, check out this lyric: “You arch your back against the mast of this steeple – I’m picking glances off you like burrs from a thistle; the people all whistle at you…”. Have you ever seen writing like that? Kind of Cockburnesque, but it’s still in its own league. That’s the kind of lyric writing I aspire to. Maybe when I grow up…

"One of the most artistically developed artists I've ever met. I was riveted for two and a half hours as Ari played," says Jim Cressman, President of Cressman-Sakomoto Agency, who handles artists such as Terri Clarke, Charlie Major, Emerson Drive, and Johnny Reid.

That’s why it’s “at long last” that Ari has recorded a live album. This man was built to perform live, and his fans will be glad to hear there is finally a live version of his music capture for posterity.

Entitled “Ari Neufeld Live at the Dream Café”, the album will be released in July, and Ari will be at our Café (the Streaming Café, not the Dream Café) to celebrate on July 16 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at Streaming Café for this performance and album release; $20 gets you admittance and a copy of the CD.

If you’ve heard Ari before, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, there are videos of some of his previous performances on YouTube or his own website (http://arineufeld.com/media.cfm), including this one of “Heart Like a Jar Full of Fireflies”, the song I quoted from earlier.


Come check out Ari on July 16. If you know his music, you’ll be glad to know he’s returning to SC. If you’ve never heard Ari before now, then you’re in for a true pleasure. In-person at 7:00 p.m., and live online at www.streamingcafe.net

Video Overview of July Shows

by Michael Donley
It`s going to be a really cool month of independent music at the cafe. Here`s a rundown of July`s performers.
Come down to the cafe in Kelowna or watch live online  @ http://streamingcafe.net

SATURDAY JULY 2nd

Climbing THE PEAK!

by Malcolm Petch

Conspiracy theorists would love it. Is there a connection between an artist playing the Streaming Café and their then meteoric rise to the public eye through hitting the top 20 of the Peak Performance Project? Or is it just coincidence?

Treelines, Hilary Grist, Fields of Green, Redgy Blackout,… the list goes on with four more performers who either have played or will play at Streaming Café and who are among the top 20 finalists in this year’s Peak Performance Project.

Behind Sapphire, Maurice,… Some would say it’s merely coincidence, of course, and that this accidental concurrence simply demonstrates Streaming Café’s penchant for booking top-notch talent. Others would say “Hogwash!” to the thought of this being purely serendipity, and would instead declare that behind the scenes there must be something more sinister at work: perhaps the PPP judges are stealthily combing through Streaming Café archives for evidence of the best and most brilliant young performers, or perhaps there are clandestine meetings between the SC talent-buying agent and those in the upper echelons of the PPP, secretly plotting out career moves and advancements for these gifted artists.

Does looking at previous top-20 lists for Peak help things become clearer? Adaline, Ben Sigston, Christina Maria, Chris Arruda, Greg Sczebel, Jess Hill, Steph Macpherson… again the inventory of top-20 artists in Peak includes many who’ve also played at Streaming Café.

Coincidence or conspiracy? Whichever it is, there is no denying that in July alone there are three of the Peak Performance’s Top 20 finalists playing at SC: Jasper Sloan Yip and Behind Sapphire on July 2, and 41st And Home on July 30.

Behind Sapphire have a 2010 album release under their belt and a three month cross-country tour in their pocket, which they called “Oh My, What A Fine Tour” in a nod to their single “Oh My, What A Fine Day” that featured an appearance by Twilight actress Jodelle Ferland in the video. Rumours that Jodelle will be with Behind Sapphire at SC on July 2 are simply that: rumours only, with no basis in truth.

Jasper Sloan Yip has been through a remarkable year, even on top of his Top-20 placement in Peak, with two live performances on CBC Radio One plus a live-recording session of seven songs for CBC Radio 3. His second album, Every Day and All At Once, was released in March 2010, and singles “Kiddo” and “Slowly” received nation-wide radio play. “Today”, another song from the 2010 album, was featured on an episode of ABC’s Brothers and Sisters. Pretty good for a guy whose first album, White Elephant, was recorded at home with a single (and reportedly broken) microphone back in 2007. Yip is currently working on a new release with his band.

July’s schedule will be wrapped up with a performance by Vancouver’s 41st and Home on the 30th. This is a truly individualistic group, formed originally by two science students (Garth Covernton and Thom Kolb, who stumbled across a cello in Garth’s garage), and then brought further to life by the addition of a violinist, a pianist, and a bassist. Their debut album was entitled “Left in Places”, and in July 2011 they plan to release a follow-up EP called “Raised By Wolves”. The July 30th appearance of 41st and Home will be fresh off their Canada Day Peak Performance debut performance in Surrey.

Conspiracy? You’d get a denial on that no matter who you talked to. There were absolutely no behind-the-scenes collusions, say top officials. And we know that top officials are always to be believed, no questions asked. Yet the facts remain: eight of this year’s Peak Performance Project Top 20 finalists (and seven of last year’s finalists) have Streaming Café in their portfolio of venues-played-at. No matter what the top officials may say, it’s still very clear that the country’s highest quality live music is available each and every Saturday night at Streaming Café – and you can enjoy it live in-house or online… see you on Saturday!

Cafe Art Display: Meghan Wise

Streaming Cafe is featuring some amazing art on our walls by the very talented Meghan Wise. These works will be showcased at the cafe for the next month, so be sure to come down to the cafe and take them in.  Visit  Megan's website for more information on her art and online gallery.

Meghan Wise's Bio

My earliest memory of painting is from when I was two. It was a hot summer afternoon. My sister and I were painting on the front steps. Our quiet painting slowly progressed into head to toe body paint. I remember the feel of the brush as it swept over my skin, the tingle and crackle of the paint as it dried. I can remember being completely involved and mesmerized by the freedom and adventurous exploration. I feel that my Mother’s amused and yielding reaction to our impulsive desire also allowed me to keep that sense of freedom and adventure that I still feel today when I paint.
My paintings are physical manifestations of my imagination. They are inward explorations of my emotions, how I perceive humanity, nature, civilization and the small details of the world around
me. Each painting is a pondering daydream or a fixated fascination that is ushered into existence through my being.

Download live tracks from Streaming Cafe shows!

by Michael Donley
For over two years now, Streaming Cafe has been streaming free interactive shows and posting clips from those live performances on our site and  YouTube channel.  At the beginning of this year we started multi-tracking these shows giving us the flexibility of re-mixing the audio of each video clip which lead us to the release of our very first full length live album on April 21st "Pat LePoidevin live at Streaming Cafe".  This live album coincided the launch of our new web store, that got us thinking about how we could partner with more artists that have been through the cafe and get some of these amazing live tracks out to fans.

If you've looked anywhere on our site you'll have noticed our tagline "Streaming Café is a listening room inspired to discover, connect with, and promote independent artists."   

Continuing with the philosophy of connecting and promoting indie music we have partnered with the performing artists to split the proceeds of all these tracks 50/50 with no upfront costs to the artist what so ever. The concept behind this is not as a cash grab for SC, but being huge live music fans ourselves, the idea of offering a piece of these live shows to fans without draining an artist’s pocket is a cool thing .

In an era of perfect auto-tuned production, the idea of all these live tracks were to leave them raw, unedited and real. Giving fans a true glimpse to the artists live and often stripped down intimate show that we have captured at the cafe.

So far we are featuring tracks from Jon Bryant, The Mountains & the Trees, Jonathan Inc., JJ Shiplett, Old Mare, Mark Irving and the Matthew Joel Band.  This is just the beginning of this experiment, so  keep checking back to see what new live tracks are up in our Streaming Cafe store!

Cafe Chalk Art Masterpieces: Part II

by Michael Donley

Once again we are back with the second collage of show-promo-cafe-chalk-art (somehow it just felt like that should all have hyphens). Joel and Vicky,with some help from Sebb, have managed to pull off some creative chalk art with a hint of randomness.

I'd say any chance you have to draw a narwhol, a piece of lamb and an affectionate viking couple is time well spent...enjoy!

If you missed the first Collage check it out here - http://streamingcafe.blogspot.com/2011/03/cafe-chalk-art-masterpieces.html

Pics from Zaac Pick's Performance

Ever so often Jayce from Van Studio Photography takes in a show at the cafe and captures some wicked shots.  Here's a few he took during Zaac Pick's amazing performance on June 4th. Enjoy!

Nikki Balfour: Art Showcase

Streaming Cafe is hosting an Artist Showcase this Friday, June 10th featuring original works from local artist Nikki Balfour. The "open house" art show will run from 5pm to 9pm and will also include tunes from "Groove Lounge", local up and coming DJ's.
Some of Nikki's art will be on display at the cafe until June 24th so come down and enjoy!


Nikki Balfour Bio
For me painting is about freedom. I've been devoted to it for the last five years. This has been a time filled with many challenges, joys, and constant growth.

As a painter I am driven by emotions and words, which often create the mood that I desire to portray. I am passionate about exploring new subjects, and am refreshed by discovering new creative outlets.

Freestyle/abstract painting has been a large part of my development as an artist, whether it be working out of my studio or painting on stage with live music. In a live setting, painting and music feed off each other, creating moments of energetic creativity that would otherwise go undiscovered.

My most recent series 'Doorways and WIndows', created layer by layer using only a small palette knife, incorporates the methods and techniques that I've discovered through abstract painting. The result is a body of work that is unlike anything that I have done up to this point. The exciting thing is that no matter what subject or style I approach, these abstract techniques are a foundational thread throughout everything that I paint.

I love color, movement, and the freedom to express myself. Painting allows me to explore new worlds. I look forward to many years of creativity ahead, and fully immersing myself in the possibilities that await me.

Grey Kingdom (Spencer Burton of Attack In Black)

by Malcolm Petch


When you read Grey Kingdom’s bio, your first thought is that you’ve somehow stumbled upon the text for a graphic novel. Either that, or the imagination of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes has spilled over onto Grey Kingdom’s website (though there is rather much more blood than Calvin would normally envision). You’ll have to check it out for yourself to see what I mean.

So you turn to Grey Kingdom’s record label, Dine Alone Records, for more insight. And there it is: the proof that Grey Kingdom is keeping good company with label-mates like Hey Rosetta, Dinosaur Bones, and the ubiquitous City and Colour.

Grey Kingdom is the solo-artist stage name of Spencer Burton, a singer songwriter from Ontario. On CBC Radio 3 he lists himself as a Rock Singer Songwriter, as well as Folk, but it’s obvious from his music that he’s more college-crowd oriented than Top-40 oriented in his writing. And, sure enough, there’s an RSS blog feed from Grey Kingdom: “This Thursday, May 20, I’ll be on 103.7 Brock Radio playing some songs and putting on a few of my favourite records” – Brock Radio being, of course, the college radio station at Brock University in Ontario. So besides his talents as a singer songwriter, Burton also spends time as a late-night disc jockey.

Grey Kingdom’s music is acoustic, natural, and really enjoyable. Also keeping busy as a member of the Canadian indie band Attack in Black, it’s obvious Burton can express himself in a wide range of musical styles. As the solo artist Grey Kingdom seems to land more on the acoustic side of the spectrum, although songs like ‘Haunted’ (the full length version, not the EP version) still feature a full rhythm section.

Burton says his solo career started when he and Daniel Romano, another member of Attack in Black, recorded a few of Burton’s songs in their home studio while the two other members of AiB were away. “I’ve always been writing and recording songs,” says Burton, “I’ve just never really had a place to put them. With Attack in Black the songs would very rarely fit onto a CD. They’re generally a different style of music so we wouldn’t really have a place for them.” Burton and Romano played the songs for Dine Alone Records, who liked them enough to release them. Burton recorded a few more of his songs, and Dine Alone released both an EP and a 7” vinyl of the music (the release entitled “The Grey Kingdom”) – plus a full-length record (entitled “Eulogy of Her and Her and Her”).

The Grey Kingdom- Wood & Wires Live from Adrian Vieni (Wood & Wires) on Vimeo.

Grey Kingdom is on tour promoting his release of “Eulogy of Her…” and will be appearing at Streaming Café on June 25th, along with co-Canadian artist Young Wife.

Young Wife is the touring name of Allie Torrance, a singer songwriter from Saint Catherines, Ontario. She classifies herself as Grunge/Minimalist/Psychedelic, and sounds a little like an energetic Julie Doiron.

June 25th promises to be an evening of well-written songs and enjoyable performances. As always, if you can’t be here in person you can always join us online at www.streamingcafe.net at 7pm Pacific Standard Time.

MBF's Matinée Performance!

by Malcolm Petch

MBF, or Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, first blew through Streaming Café as part of the Breakout West music festival in October of 2010. He took the stage with a drummer and backing guitarist, and, along with his trademark “flower-on-the-headstock-of-his-guitar”, proceeded to play an energetic set that had the crowd literally up and dancing. By the end of the set our producer was hard-pressed to find a camera angle that could capture MBF, because the dancing hordes had surrounded the stage and were cutting off views of Fitzgerald from all sides. And the term ‘dancing hordes’ is not a fluffy non-accurate description written to spice up an otherwise dreary paragraph; the room was packed, and there were frenetic dancing bodies filling virtually every square foot of the space around MBF.

Needless to say, this type of crowd is not what we’re used to here at the generally “alternative folk” flavoured listening room we call Streaming Café. MBF had definitely left his mark on us.

Michael Bernard Fitzgerald is from Calgary. He is working on a new record, but just prior to heading back into the studio he decided to release a live album that consists mainly of material from his appearance at Calgary University’s MacEwan Ballroom in February 2011. The name of the new live record? “I'm working on a studio release but in the mean time I thought I would put out a recording of us playing live in a big room with friends”. Seriously.

But that’s what you’d expect from such a creative artist. A quick overview of his website shows his quirky and pleasantly unorthodox performance personality (say that swiftly four times) with tweets like these from May 27th: “In Calgary it is still raining. At this point the only way I will find happiness is by building a large fort with tarps”, and then: “Once this fort is built I will eat snacks and watch movies within it. You are all invited.” And during his performance at SC in October, MBF wore a red Pistons jersey and brought a pink and gold microphone to sing into. The guy knows how to be memorable, which is a key to surviving and thriving in today’s music world.

MBF's New Live Album

If you haven’t heard it, MBF’s music is engaging right from the start. Even the most dour audience members find themselves starting to bop along to the tracks when MBF is playing. It’s clear Fitzgerald has made strong progress along the journey of writing winsome songs that sound good and feel good from the first listen.

Kelowna music lovers will get a special treat at MBF’s June 25th show at the Streaming Café. Tickets are $20 each for the 3pm matinee performance, but each ticket buyer will also receive a signed copy of MBF’s new life album. Unfortunately, online viewers will have to track down their own copy of the album (but, mind you, the online show is free; it kind of evens out that way). There’s a rumour going around that the live album can be pre-ordered through Calgary’s PrimeBoxOffice.com, but you’d have to see for yourself.

Did you notice that the time for this show is 3:00 p.m.?

We’ve never done a matinee performance before. We wanted to bring MBF in, but we already had artists booked for the 25th – and that was the only day Fitzgerald was going to be in town. So, after much back-and-forth repartee between Michael Bernard Fitzgerald’s agent and our own Michael (Michael Donley, who scours the earth daily finding the best talent around for our live music shows), the show was booked and the date finalized.

There you have it. Come out and enjoy Michael Bernard Fitzgerald in person, 3:00 p.m. Saturday June 25th at Streaming Café in Kelowna BC, and take home a signed copy of his live album; tickets are $20 each (only 50 available). Or join us online (3:00 p.m. Pacific Time, 4:00 p.m. for folks in Alberta, 6:00 p.m. for all those living under Eastern Time) to enjoy what promises to be a dynamic and engaging performance.

June Performers: video overview

by Michael Donley

Independent music is live and well in Canada and this month is proof. Here's a brief overview of this months performing artists with a video clip so you can check 'em out.

SATURDAY JUNE 4TH 7pm (pst) - ZAAC PICK

When you hear Zaac Pick on Saturday (or when you heard him, if June 4th is behind us at the point you’re reading this), you’ll perhaps find yourself thinking he sounds/sounded familiar.

“Hey, this young man sounds familiar.”

And of course he does, we’ll answer, because he played here in February of last year.

“No, that’s not it. I wasn’t here when he played before, but he still sounds familiar. One song, in particular, sounded very familiar indeed.”

Ahh!, we’ll say. That’s because we made special arrangements with Zaac to use a clip of his music in our online show intro. If you’ve watched any of our shows online over the last few months you would have heard that clip.

You can tell we like Zaac around here. That’s why we picked one of his songs to be our tag-line audio sample.

Zaac has been really active lately, working on finishing a new album and doing a bit of touring to test out some of the new music. We’ve strategically placed ourselves near the end of his little tour so that all the new music is well-rehearsed before we hear it.

Some of the tracking for this new album took place in Nimbus Studios in Vancouver, courtesy of SHORE-104, a Vancouver radio station. Zaac won their “Sounds of Summer Song Search” contest with his song “My Century”, and part of the prize awarded was some time in the Nimbus inner rooms. Interestingly, some of the judges for the contest were Bruce Allen, Terry McBride, and Sam Feldman, all three of whom are heavyweights in the Canadian and North American music scene.

We really wouldn’t be surprised to see Zaac get catapulted suddenly to international fame and fortune. Not just because his music is great (which it is), and not even because Allen, McBride, and Feldman have all heard his stuff and liked it (which they have); more because we here at Streaming Café know a good thing when we hear it – and because we’ve re-booked Zaac Pick to play this coming Saturday, June 4th. If you can’t be here in person, check us out online. And see if you don’t like that show-opening audio sample!

SATURDAY JUNE 11TH 7pm (pst) - KAYLA LUKY and BUCK & JESS
Listening to prairie girl Kayla Luky it is easy to see why her voice is often compared to country folk icon Emmylou Harris.  Luky’s latest album "The Time it Takes" marks not only a homecoming for the young songstress, but a complete countrification of her sound.

Singer-songwriters T. Buckley and Jessica Leger combined with their love of the Rockies and old country duets form the duo, Buck & Jess. Experienced solo performers and songwriters in their own right, the two combine their original material to bring audiences impressively strong and varied sets of fresh yet timeless melodies.


SATURDAY JUNE 18TH 7pm (pst)- RALEIGH
If you were watching Streaming Cafe during BreakOutWest back in Oct.'10 you will definitely remember the wicked performance from Dojo Workhorse. A couple members from that band are performing in a different form as Raleigh. Raleigh is the labour of love of Calgary based musicians Brock Geiger (of The Dudes & Dojo Workhorse), Matt Doherty (of Axis of Conversation & This City Defects) and Clea Anaïs (of the Consonant C & Dojo Workhorse).  Raleigh’s debut album, 'New Times in Black and White' is driven by a collaborative approach at songwriting. Combining deviant percussion and the melodic nuance of cello, guitar, and piano, an intricate musical narrative has been created.

SHOT AT THE DARK - Raleigh from Shot at The Dark on Vimeo.



SATURDAY JUNE 25TH 3pm (pst) MATINEE- MICHAEL BERNARD FITZGERALD

Calgary's Michael Bernard Fitzgerald has just released his new live album "I'm working on a studio release but in the mean time I thought I would put out a recording of us playing live in a big room with friends”  He's celebrating the release by performing a special MATINÉE show at the cafe at 3pm. This will be a good time, be sure to check it out!
