Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Bobby Stagg is proud to release his first solo album “Mean Business”. Bobby is heading down a rootsy road of Americana music with a healthy dose of signature Stagg humor thrown into the mix. Catch Bobby with his rockin’ little combo featuring RD Harris on drums, Stuart Patterson on bass, and guest vocalist, Barb Harris.
JULY 20: *2 shows Johnny Owen And Who’s Driving starts@ 7:30pm
JOHNNY OWEN
A storyteller and song builder. A Troubadour by nature, his soul wanders to the musical frontier towns built by the pioneers of Delta and Country Blues, Folk, Ragtime, and old-time Country. With his guitar, harmonica and slide, he promises a unique and energising evening of down-home, roots music.
WHO’S DRIVING
A Band best described as a diverse blues rooted Band with music ranging from Country cross over to Dirty Rock. With velvety vocals, intricately woven guitar lines and a heaping helping of swing we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the incredible energy the band stirs up when they play live.
JULY 27: TANGARA @ 7:30 pm
Their music evokes movement/dance. A soulful bass line, a jazzy chord change, a percussive groove, all means are fair game to inspire their compositions. The paradox of the forest lounge is that of a rather urban music rooted in the hills of the southern Quebec jungle. Human beings exist as part of a sacred living world deserving our respect!

Repercussion Theatre presents an all-female production of Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.
This political drama investigates the fine line between personal ambition and the general good, and explores the relationship between gender and power. The production includes a high level of stage combat, live drumming, and (as always) a strong aesthetic style.
The rule of Rome and the protection of the general good are at stake when Julius Caesar returns from civil war to a hero’s welcome. The people abandon their work and rejoice, decorating even the image of Caesar – much to the chagrin of Rome’s Tribunes and the distress of the most Republican-minded members of Caesar’s entourage. Political opinions clash, as the people call for Caesar to be crowned, and Cassius coordinates a conspiracy bent on putting an end to Caesar’s ambition. Tensions mount, and blades are kept close at hand, as the best interests of the people, and the future of Rome herself, stand on the edge of chaos.
