MUSICAL SMILE
Jackie Evancho - "To Believe"....
With four pre teens competing in the Diamond in the Rock this week, I thought this would be the perfect accompaniment. Enjoy!
PLUGGED IN
Sound City....
I can still remember the moment when live music came back into my life in a big way. Standing around the bar very late many years ago at Beecher St. Cafe my good friend Rob Ahlgren said to me: "Have you ever heard of Jason Mitchell?" "Who's that?" I said. "He's an amazingly talented song writer who grew up in White Rock and had a contract with Warner Brothers Canada for his album The World is Flat, that they haven't renewed." Rob said. "How would you like to co-manage him with me?" And so the adventure began. Rob and I co-produced Jason's next album "Little Coma" which received very favourable reviews and where a number of songs charted in the Top 20 in Canada. There were many memorable moments, but none more so than the first time I went into Turtle Recording Studio and was witness to the process of bringing songs and an album to life.
Since then, thanks in large part to my good friend Ed Johnson welcoming me in and introducing me into the musical community, I have had the honour and pleasure of coming to know many wonderful musicians and becoming part of "The Rock's" extended musical family. Another highlight for me was coming to know Jordan Carrier who was an important part of the Jason Mitchell project and a brilliant composer and musician in his own right. With Jordan's hard edge so much like John Lennon, and Jason so much like Paul McCartney, I always had a dream that they'd get together and write a few songs together. And it's happening. Stay tuned. I've been feeling a little nostalgic lately with my upcoming move into Vancouver, (Mark Sat. July 13th on your calendar for my going away party!) and when I received the email below it triggered a bunch of wonderful memories. I know that anyone who's ever been in a recording studio or imagined doing so is going to enjoy this. See ya out there. Best Doug E <l:) (Thank you Derkan Wardel!)
"Hello!
Just thought I would be nice and share with you all!
If you want you can scroll down this email and click on the http link below to watch the Documentary "Sound City"
Goes through the history of the music recorded at this historic studio. When the studio goes out of business the original board is purchased by Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) and set back up in his home studio, where he invites the greats like Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac, Rick Springfield, REO Speedwagon, Paul McCartney just to name a few, back to his studio to record new music on this historic original Neve Board.
Anyone who has a love for music and how it's made will thoroughly enjoy this, it is truly amazing!!"
PICK(S) OF THE WEEK
There's not too many weekends in this magical place when there isn't some amazing music going on in town. This week is one of the better ones. Top of the list has to be Saturday and Sunday at Camp Alexandra.

Many diverse groups will be at the Festival for the first time, including The Fraser Region Aboriginal Centre with traditional crafts, UMOJA Family services, DIVERSECity, HIPPY Canada with information on multicultural childcare issues and QMUNITY, an education and outreach program in support of a safe, inclusive
community.

Gena Perala Announces the release of her new CD "Exactly Nowhere"
Hi Doug,
My name is Gena Perala and I'm a local singer songwriter who grew up in White Rock and now lives in Vancouver. I've been described as Jewel meets Peaches, which is actually a pretty good description. I've been working on this album "EXACTLY NOWHERE" for the last 3 1/2 years with the awesome and talented Chris Gestrin and Russell Marsland producing. Some notable musician on the album include, recent Juno award winner Violinist Meredith Bates, Cellist Peggy Lee, Drummer Joel Fountain, myself, Chris and Russell of course, just to name a few. I'm very proud of the album and look forward to releasing it. Release date is set for JUNE 16 at The Chapel Arts.
Thanks so much in advance.
Sincerely,
- Performer's Registration for Spirit of the Sea on the August Long Weekend.
Jim Black is the Entertainment Director, with lots of help from Crystal Brisson. Any bands interested in joining the festival should contact them at entertainment@spiirtofhtesea.ca.
 We're happy to report our good buddies THE MUD BAY BLUES BAND return to the comfy confines of CLUB 240 aka THE CRESCENT BEACH LEGION on Saturday June 1.
MUD BAY BLUES BAND - 35 YEARS YOUNG....and still not acting their age!!
 PLATINUM BLONDE and SLOAN headline this year's CANADA DAY celebrations (July 1) in Surrey at Millenium Park in Cloverdale. Country artist CRYSTAL SHAWANDA rounds out the lineup.
DOMINIK HINES Coming June 7
We first heard Dominik Heins when he was in recording at Blue Frog Studios a couple years ago, and we thought, "wow, Michael Kaeshammer has an amazing brother". In fact, Dominik is from the same region in Germany as Mr. Kaeshammer and both have gone on to exceptional international careers.
Dominik Heins is an extraordinarily talented piano player and vocalist specializing in jazz, Boogie Woogie and swing styles. His solo performances captivate audiences with his exuberant improvising, a deep rhythmic groove, and his uniquely hard-swinging vocal style. Elements of Dominik's musical style can be likened to those of artists such as Fats Waller, Nat "King" Cole, Harry Connick Jr. and of course, Michael Kaeshammer. A regular on jazz stages and festivals around the world, Dominik has performed with Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Axel Zwingenberger. In addition to Dominik, the trio is comprised of Sam Shoichet (double bass) and Alex Klassen (drums).
Joining Dominik on stage will be some very special guests:
Gary Comeau - a singer-songwriter and musician of unique diversity and talent. He delivers originally crafted, high energy, New Orleans-style jazz and blues. His music has also been in movies, as well as aired on TV and radio and he's a regular on the West Coast Festival circuit, where his live performances are often the showcase highlight. Gary blew everyone away last December in concert with John Lee Sanders.
Wendy Bollard – in addition to performing in England, Ireland, the US and Canada, Wendy has been featured on the CBC and at the Western Canadian Music Awards. She was also Dal Richardʼs featured vocalist. In White Rock, Wendy is also well known for her numerous theatre productions at the Coast Capital Playhouse.
Laine Henderson - A wide range and flexibility of style enables Laine to flow seamlessly from delicate highs to soulful lows all the while carrying clarity of tone that is hard to match. Laine studied at the renowned Berklee College of Music and spent her post-graduate years in New York City and regularly appearing at the top jazz clubs there. While she lived in Dublin, Ireland, she quickly found herself touring with the still famous Irish Dance Show, Riverdance.
This will be a great evening of music at Blue Frog Studios & Performance Centre. Tickets for this show available right now at:

Chris is the 2007 winner of the Orange County Music Award for Best Latin, and a nine-time OCMA nominee, including nominations in 2011 for "People's Choice", and a 2012 nomination for "Best Jazz". He has performed with world-famous musicians including: Justo Almario (Sergio Mendes / Mongo Santamaria), Alex Acuna (Tolu / Weather Report), Clayton Cameron (Tony Bennett), Ramon Banda (Poncho Sanchez), Llew Mathews (Nancy Wilson), Luther Hughes (Gene Harris), Dr. Scott Tibbs (Wayne Newton / Omar Hakim), Scott Martin (Poncho Sanchez), Francisco Torres (Jazz On the Latin Side All Stars), Dave Markee (Eric Clapton), Matt Politano (Jazz Phenom), Ernie Nunez (Brian Setzer Orchestra), Caleb Quay (Elton John), Steve Crum (Diana Ross), Daniel Glass & David Miller (Royal Crowne Revue), Justin Ray (Michael Buble), Mike Bennett (Hilary Duff), and Kye Palmer (The Tonight Show Band).
Chris will perform at Blue Frog Studios for the official release of his new album "Elizabeth: Songs Based on Pride & Prejudice" in celebration of the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen's timeless masterpiece, Pride & Prejudice. All songs on the album are original compositions by Williams.
"I think Chris Williams' album is most enjoyable.
He is a very talented vocalist and scat sings well."
