The Arrogant Worms

Mon, Mar 16, 7:30 pm
The Arrogant Worms are back in BC with their latest and greatest hits about Saskatchewan Pirates, the ethics of carrot juice, the secret songs of cows and all things comical and Canadian
The year was 1991. Presumably, some significant world events occurred. The world truly changed in the fall however, when something truly magnificent happened in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. A beacon of hope was lit and has shone brightly ever since – The Arrogant Worms. The Arrogant Worms began as a comedy troupe performing songs and sketches on campus radio. The early feedback on the live shows was clear: lose the sketches. So the songs endured and they all remain because the band hates to throw anything out.
The songs were written to make fun of a big dumb world. Luckily, the world is still dumb and The Arrogant Worms (Mike McCormick, Chris Patterson and Trevor Strong) still have plenty to sing about. The shows are fast, furious and family friendly. The wit is quick, the satire is biting and the musicianship is second to none. Their appeal has earned them fans from kids to parents to grandparents to Princess Leia.
The Arrogant Worms have sold more than 160,000 copies of their 13 albums. Their most recent offering is SPACE, a collection of 16 new songs released in 2014 that bravely tackles the hard issues like Local Politicians, Yoga Pants and Uncomfortable Chairs. The band has played on three continents to crowds as large as 100,000 and were recognized in 2003 as the Touring Act of the Year by the Canadian Arts Presenters Association. The Worms have entertained at corporate functions, sung anthems at sporting events and emceed at major festivals. Their songs are in school lesson plans, in textbooks and even played on the Space Shuttle. On earth or in space, everyone digs these Worms.

The Motown Show featuring The Hitsville USA Band

Fri, Mar 27, 7:30 pm
THE MOTOWN SHOW was created with the idea of bringing new life to the magical sound of the era-defining music that came out of Detroit. This Motown sound dominated the airwaves from the late fifties to early sixties. Motown was more than just the obvious songs heard at every Motown tribute show. If you’ve lived it and came of age dancing to it, you will of course recognize the hits “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, “I Heard it Through the Grapevine”, “Bernadette”, “Can I Get a Witness”, “Dancing in the Street”, “Jimi Mack” and “My Girl”, among others, as well as the hidden gems. THE MOTOWN SHOW covers it all and will have you on your feet reminiscing about a more innocent time of music. We all love Motown as it never seems to lose its appeal to middle, older, and even young audiences. The show features and eight piece group with Mike Henry on lead vocals hailing from Shreveport, LA; well-traveled and versed in gospel, R&B, and reggae. Krystle Dos Santos, lead vocals, hails from Edmonton, Alberta. Janelle Reid hails from Toronto, Ontario; whose soulful R&B vocals make the band soar.
