Starman is a (mostly) acoustic evening celebrating the music of David Bowie

David Bowie, of course, is one of the most influential artists in the history of modern music.

“There’s not many modern musicians who haven’t been touched by Bowie in one way or another,” says the shows producer, Doug Cox. “ As soon as the word got out we were doing this show, musicians started getting in touch to see if they could participate – it’s been quite amazing to see the interest!” Cox adds, “These in-the-round shows are a blast for the musicians involved and the audience. It’s like a modern variety show where each person in the group gets to take a turn stepping up front for a couple of songs and then, stepping back to be a supporting band member. The audience loves it because they get a taste of what each person on stage does and at the same time, they get to watch the musicians enjoy each other in a show that isn’t part of their normal touring activity. And – after all, it’s David Bowie songs; what an incredible catalogue to choose from!”

Join an inspired, diverse group of Canadian singers/musicians as they celebrate the songs of Bowie in this in-the-round concert performance – Starman.

The talent line up for the show includes:

    Doug Cox
    Helen Austin
    Linda McRae
    Rick May
    Robin Layne
    Sam Hurrie
    Shaun Verreault (of Wide Mouth Mason)
    plus more special guests!
