“The Music of a Lifetime”

Lennon & McCartney: In their own Words and Music, is a ‘Rockumentary’ celebrating the uniqueness of the most successful songwriting partnership in history featuring Michael Sicoly and Mick Dalla-Vee.

Lennon–McCartney is the best-known and most successful musical collaboration ever by records sold, with the Beatles selling an estimated current world-wide sales figure of over 2 billion units sold! Between 5 October 1962 and 8 May 1970, the partnership published approximately 180 jointly credited songs, of which the vast majority were recorded by the Beatles, forming the bulk of their catalogue.

Now, two of the most copied and revered songwriters of all time are paid homage to in a moving tribute with video, interviews, and information in a perfectly recreated live performance with complete multi-media enhancement.

Michael and Mick were part of the much-heralded Beatles touring show, ‘Revolver’ a show that Rick Neilson and Robin Zander of ‘Cheap Trick’ fame claimed was ‘the greatest Beatles band we have ever seen… and we’ve seen a lot of them!’

The two lead vocalists and multi-instrumentalists (Mick & Michael) have now paired up to present this new and unique show, telling the stories behind the songs along with performances of total authenticity with complete multi-media enhancement.

Now this is big news. One of the true originals in Canadian music has moved from Nashville to Nova Scotia and is celebrating with music only he could make. Jimmy Rankin's new Moving East is pure East Coast, a homecoming album featuring true stories, tall tales and bittersweet ballads, and the classic folk-rock sound that Rankin helped pioneer.

Just at a time when people are searching out authentic cultural voices, strong stories and well-crafted songs, Rankin has made an unapologetically East Coast folk-rock record, with a raw, unsentimental, and current edge. “I’m putting the party back in the kitchen” quips Rankin.

It's called Moving East because that's exactly what Jimmy's done. He's moved back to Nova Scotia after seven years living and working in Nashville. Hooking up with fellow Nova Scotian Joel Plaskett as producer, he's made an album appealing to young and old alike, with songs running the gamut from gritty pub tunes to soulful ballads all featuring great storytelling, and fine song writing.

One of the most famed Canadian songwriters, Jimmy Rankin wrote such classic Rankin hits as “North Country,” “You Feel the Same Way Too,” and the Juno winning single “Fare The Well

Love,” voted the #1 East Coast song of all time by CBC listeners across Canada. His own hits include “Followed Her Around,” “Morning Bound Train,” and “Cool Car.” Jimmy’s the guy who wrote “Mull River Shuffle” a Cape Breton anthem with an all-ages cult following, jamming dance floors and mosh pits at parties, weddings, and raves as the last big song of the night.

Says Rankin “With Moving East, I was trying to distil the fabric of Maritime culture into a musical collection replete with life’s highs and lows, and breathe life into stories that capture a feeling, a moment in time, live off the floor and organic.” It’s an album full of classic Cape Breton storytelling, unashamedly celebrating his moving back, and making the music he loves. Now that’s a homecoming.

Guy Davis is a two-time, back-to-back Grammy nominee for Best Traditional Blues, a musician, actor, author, and songwriter. Guy uses a blend of Roots, Blues, Folk, Rock, Rap, Spoken Word, and World Music to comment on, and address, the frustrations of social injustice, touching on historical events, and common life struggles. His background in theater is pronounced through the lyrical storytelling of songs “God’s Gonna Make Things Over” about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, “Welcome to My World”, and “Got Your Letter In My Pocket”. His storytelling is sometimes painful, deep, and real, an earthy contrast to modern-day commercial music, meant to create thought, underlined by gentle tones from his guitar or banjo fingerpicking.

Guy won “Keeping The Blues Alive” Award, and was nominated by The Blues Foundation for Best Acoustic Album of the Year, Best Acoustic Artist of the Year, and Best Instrumentalist. In fact, he's been nominated nearly two dozen times by the Blues Foundation.

Among hundreds of newspaper appearances, he's also been featured in articles or reviews by New York Times, Village Voice, Boston Globe, Pulse Magazine, Blues Magazine, Acoustic Guitar, Dirty Linen, Songlines, Blues Blast Magazine, Living Blues, Down At the Crossroads, The San Francisco Chronicle, Association For Independent Music (formerly NAIRD), Playboy Magazine, National Public Radio (NPR), "Folk Alley", and Sirius.

When asked about his experience as a performer, Guy has replied, “There is no tale so tall that I cannot tell it, nor song so sweet that I cannot sing it.”

Biography
Bio: Ryan Donn is a Scottish born Canadian songwriter…
Heckler: wait isn’t he the person who was on Kelowna City Council for 8 years…
Okay that too.. but back to the point… He released his debut album Causewayend 20 years ago.. and his sophomore album “In this life” 15 years ago

Heckler: wow he must be old
For the record he’s 46 yr old. Fully in the middle aged catagory. He then released his sophomore album “I This Life” 15 years ago..

Heckler: wait didn’t his oldest daughter just turn 15 ..
Yeah that is also true and probably why he wasn’t busy releasing albums or touring for the last decade and a half.
His sophomore album “In this life” can be found on Apple Music and Spotify.

It had a number of singles such as “There for you” and “In this Life” on radio stations throughout Western Canada (starting with Silk FM in Kelowna), some placed on the MTV Real World DC TV series, and some placed on a few random German TV shows in 2022. Donn wrote many theme songs for various non-profit and community events including: “Love will lead you home” for the KGM 30k club, “One dream” for the Terry fox run, etc.

Heckler: wait isn’t he the same guy that manages the Creekside Theatre. He better not be getting some sort of deal
Same guy! After years of being in the background, Donn is returning to his passion of sharing music on the stage. It's all very exciting! But not to worry, he loves his job at Creekside and isn't going anywhere. He wouldn't want to host this return show in any other venue

Theta State. The intriguing space between the conscious, and subconscious worlds. Your awake mind slowly drifts from Beta to Alpha then... Theta. Not quite asleep, but no longer awake or bound to this world.

You're daydreaming, about to slip into deep sleep, or entering the blissful flow state. Nothing else exists but you in this moment.

Before the pandemic in early 2020, we interviewed local creatives, recording conversations about their most interesting dreams, recurring dreams, and nightmares - what do they mean and what is their link to the creative subconscious? These compelling conversations, woven into the audio soundscapes, will be interpreted on stage using theatrics, aerial arts, and acrobatics for a thrilling and immersive ride through the layers of our subconscious.

Special thank you to our dreamers for sharing these experiences with us and allowing us to bring their dreams to life.

DECK examines the fine line between perfectionism and obsession, chaos and freedom and why a piece of 2x6 lumber isn’t really two inches by six inches. Not even close. DECK stars Cliv, a meticulous single parent of two who has been forced to reassess his future after taking major losses in the recent recession. He embraces a new start as a small town, eco-conscious, back-to-the-lander. His attempts at self-sufficiency are hijacked by a bad house buy and he is forced to try his hand at home improvement. Enter Corey, the charismatic carpenter who takes Cliv under his wing and offers to lend a hand. As Cliv is drawn into Corey’s world of free-wheeling free living, Cliv begins to lose his grasp on reality and is consumed by suspicions of Corey’s true motives. DECK is a darkly hilarious take on the modern milieu of a small town, semi-urban environment.

Please note: This performance is not suitable for children.
