Double Bill!

Featuring Tom Wilson of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings & Junkhouse, and Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar & Grady.

LeE HARVey OsMOND

LeE HARVey OsMOND is the brainchild of Tom Wilson, from Blackie & the Rodeo Kings. Tom brought together an eclectic group of friends, a few Cowboy Junkies, and some Skydiggers, to develop a new sound they christened acid folk. With hypnotic rhythms and a lot of groove the group of friends now known as LeE HARVeY OsMOND, created a sound that comes creeping out of the Northern woods and is oozing across the Great Lakes into the South, following the same path The Band did forty years before. Through the eyes of LeE HARVeY OsMOND, we revisit the wonder years and remember where we were on that eventful day.

Sit Down Servant

Gordie Johnson�s new project � Sit Down, Servant!! � gives him the chance to combine blues and gospel with dub in his own unique way. Accompanied by Big Sugar drummer Stephane Beaudin on drums, Johnson sings and plays steel guitar along with his Moog bass pedals for a rousing electric set of boot-stomping tunes being heard by audiences for the first time. The musical talents of Gordie Johnson have long been an influence in the rock music world. His extraordinary guitar stylings are the driving force behind Big Sugar and Grady, two bands with large followings in North America. This is an excellent introduction to another side of the man and his music.
