Music Interview: Unreliable honky tonks
Your worst day ever would go something like this: getting dumped by the love of your life. Take the dog for a walk to ease the pain. Somehow, he slips away and gets run over by a truck. Jump on a horse, you know, just to get away from it all. But the horse breaks… Continue reading Music Interview: Unreliable honky tonks
Profile: Get your granny blasted with Elliott
At first glance, with his half-hearted explosion of red hair and gawky glasses, Canadian comic Lorne Elliot doesn’t seem to share too many similarities with legendary musician Bob Marley–one does stand up comedy with a ukulele and the other brought reggae music to the mainstream. Still, the two artists share a certain perspective regarding audiences… Continue reading Profile: Get your granny blasted with Elliott

Dance Preview: Santee Smith grounded in dance
Life sucks and then you die. A philosophy adopted as a mantra in our time. The linear philosophy of birth, life, then death being the be-all-end-all contradicts Santee Smith’s dance performance Kaha:wi. Her focus on the cyclical perspective of life comes from her Iroquian roots and allows for a refreshing new look at life, death,… Continue reading Dance Preview: Santee Smith grounded in dance
