The Canadian Sound

What a show we had this Saturday at the Streaming Cafe. One of the best yet. Liam and Brent Titcomb packed out the cafe and put on a spell binding performance. All in all it was great music in support of a great organization WarChild. 

And after the holiday weekend everybody is back to work. It feels like the summer is over and we're moving quickly in the next season. It's time to trade in your coronas for hopheads and listen to some long winded singers in place of the snappy pop songs of summer. Well at least that's what I'll be doing; just listening to some Matthew Barber. 

Liam, during the Saturday show, referenced the audience as being Canadian, doing a Canadian thing listening to Brent Titcomb and his son. And just a little while ago we had Treelines which Rhys Albrecht, the host, called a quintessential Canadian rock band. It's odd talking about music that has a Canadian sound but I think we could say that both Treelines, Matthew Barber, Liam and Breant Titcomb all have a Canadian sound. And that is the kind of sound I want to hear going into the next season.

Liam Titcomb Counting Headlights

Here is a music video from Liam Titcomb playing at the Cafe this Saturday 8pm PST. Check out this show live a www.streamingcafe.net free.

Liam Titcomb with Brent Titcomb

Well it's been busy at the Streaming Cafe the last couple weeks. Last friday Loren, a folk artist from Australia, put on an amazing concert at the end of his Canadian tour. We are now getting ready to host Liam Titcomb with Brent Titcomb (Lee Harvey Osmond): Two very accomplished musicians playing together in support of WarChild.

I've been listening almost everyday to Rich Terfry on CBC radio 2 drive. He's known as a member of Buck 65 but he's got a knack for putting on a great radio show. He puts together an eclectic mix of indie folk, roots, rock and RnB music. What I like about the show is that Rich often tells you where the artist he's playing are playing live that night all across Canada. I heard Lee Harvey Osmond, a great alt-country band with Brent Titcomb and Tom Wilson (ikons in the Canadian music scene), was playing in Kelowna just down the road from my house. Now Brent's joining Liam Titcomb at the Streaming Cafe.

Check out the show sometime (now on the cbc iphone app around the world) and on the CBC radio 2 weekdays from 330pm to 7pm local time.

Abandin All Hope, a punk band from Fort McMurray, is with us this friday and Liam and Brent Titcomb will put on the show Saturday in benefit of WarChild. It's going to be a great weekend at the Streaming Cafe. All the shows start at 8pm Pacific.

thanks,

Mr. Producer.

David Blair and Treelines

This weekend we had some awesome shows at the cafe. Friday was packed out, spilling on to the street, and Treelines put on a great show. Treelines are a talented group for sure and the audience got a great show. And Treelines were the first to play on our brand new website.

On Saturday we had David Blair with Paisley Jura in their first show together. A collage of styles made for a very interesting show. Check out this cool music for David Blair's song "Hurt So Hard."

He also has some cool video blogs at www.youtube.com/davidblairmusic

David Blair is a great example of an artist who taken advantage of the web 2.0 world. He's got tones of videos on youtube with him covering all kinds of artists and playing his own songs. A great marketing campaign for sure. David Blair's been touring his but off for the last two months and is just about to finish up his tour.
