A return concert at Ground Zero Acoustic Lounge bringing the roots rock sounds of Theo’s trio. Theo Massop is once again presenting songs from previous albums, new songs and a selection of favourites from other writers such as Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Daniel Lanois and more. Ground Zero is Vancouver Island’s newest premium music venue featuring acts from across the country and around the world. An all ages venue in Parksville with only one focus, music and entertainment.

Theo will be performing with bassist Peter Surridge and drummer / percussionist Doug Pickard. Rock, blues, pop, reggae, folk and country flavoured tunes are on the agenda, along with tales and perspectives of experiences reflected in a memorable musical show.

What can you expect at the show? Theo Massop brings a special kind of rhythm and groove, rolling with a dash of reggae and rock with roots that run deep. An alternative to the usual fare of musical mediocrity, music and lyrics that moves your body and stirs your soul. Born from an approach to making music you can understand, Theo Massop draws from the styles of acts such as Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and Steve Earle. Theo further shakes up this musical approach with flavours of reggae, blues, folk, country and straight ahead rock, all performed without pretension and from the heart. High energy, emotionally charged performances presented in stripped down accessible grooves intent on making your feet move and your mind ponder. Adult alternative music to satisfy your soul with righteous rhythms and mindful musings. A west coast Canadian singer songwriter whose musical journey has taken him from church choirs to dance halls, night clubs, festivals and concert venues. His previous album "Voyager" gained him three charting singles in Canada, critical acclaim and international radio play. Theo’s other albums include “Choices” released in 2006 and “The Answer” with his band BoodAbooM in 2012. Both enjoyed extensive air play and praise. Songs from Theo's releases have been aired on CBC and community radio across Canada, as well as charting on various radio shows here and in western Europe in the alt-country genre.

The doors open at 6:30PM with the show starting shortly after 7PM. Advanced tickets are available at www.gzalounge.com for $15 or $20 at the door.
