Dry County will be supported by the four finalists from the WTFest Battle of the Bands competition, which take place on June 3rd and June 10th at Club NV – Brantford – ON (234 Colborne St)in Brantford.

“Dry County is pumped about performing at WTFest 2016. It has been a long time since we have got to perform for our fans in Brantford so there is no better venue for our return than WTFest,” commented Dry County’s Jeff Gallagher. “The team at WTFest have done an great job at putting together an amazing festival and killer line up of entertainers. We are stoked about being part of this event, and can’t wait to see everyone there.”

Originally formed in 1998, Dry County established itself as a high energy act infusing outlaw country with southern rock. The band’s music has been played on countless radio stations across North America, were featured on UFC 87, and had their music thrust into the spotlight on the MTV reality series “Buckwild”.

Classic Albums Live – Led Zepplin II

Classic Albums Live – Led Zepplin II

Back in the day (a few short years ago) I was not able to go see Led Zeppelin live. I loved their music, classic rock (google it young ‘uns). We’d wear out the needle on the turntable chilling out to bands such as Zeppelin. Many a school dance we’d attend where if you weren’t dancing to Stairway to Heaven at the end of the night well, let’s just say…..it was not a successful evening. Luckily for me, I was able to see Classic Albums Live – Led Zeppelin II AND photograph it.

It’s amazing how quickly you pick up the lyrics just like it was yesterday but you can’t remember why you just walked into a room. The talent pulled together for this group was outstanding and I’d have to say they nailed it big time! I thought I was watching, shooting and hearing the real Led Zeppelin.

For a week night, the Sanderson Centre was packed to the rafters with Zeppelin groupies on their feet many times applauding their performances song after song. I think I even heard the clinking of a few beer bottles rolling down towards the stage beneath the theatre seats (unconfirmed, possibly a flashback).

All in all it was a #BRANTastic evening to #BeSeen by#BScene. I’m changing all the radio stations in my car back to classic rock stations effective immediately. No more three word lyrics for this gal. I’m returning to the day when drums were drums, multiple guitars per musician were played and lyrics told a story and made sense. Rock on Garth, rock on!

Make sure to Be Seen enjoying all the great shows that the Sanderson Centre has to offer!

Sandra On Scene: Tuesday’s With Morrie Teaser

Sandra On Scene: Tuesday’s With Morrie Teaser

Ichthys Theatre‘s second play of its 2016 season, TUESDAY’S WITH MORRIE, incidentally does not play on a Tuesday. Mitch Albom’s TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE, stage adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher, comes to the Gord Paynter Theatre June 3-5 and June 10-12, 2016, Friday and Saturday performances at 7:30 and Sunday matinees at 2 pm.

Sit in on Mitch’s conversations with Morrie, his newly retired college professor, as they share the struggle of the journey living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). Morrie shares his joys and love of life, savouring the last opportunity to truly mentor one of his favourite students.

ICHTHYS Theatre with Director Kate Elwood have taken on this captivating autobiographic story to bring attention and understanding to the public and healing to people who have been touched by ALS.
Morrie Schwartz, a retired professor with ALS is played expertly by Jim Hooper, and Mitch Albom, his former student is played by Malakai Darien Fox.

Fox recently finished a run of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Rose Theatre in Brampton, while Hooper has come out of retirement to take on a role that he calls “too challenging to pass up.”

Director Kate Elwood says, “We know that this show will inspire smiles and tears and we suggest you bring a kleenex.”

The set is very simple with a black curtain backdrop and some furniture pieces.
Although the script only calls for the two men and only mentions the nurse, Elwood decided to actually bring on silently performing her duties, played by Alissa Cooper. Cooper also doubles as the Assistant Director.

The rest of the Crew consists of:
Stage Manager – Anais Henze
Lights and Sound – Jess Hamilton
Costumes – Cast and Crew
Crew – Keith Curry
Front of House – Niels Henze

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors and students, are available online at www.ichthystheatre.ca, reserved by phone at 519-754-5411, or at the door. The venue is wheelchair accessible.

For more information about the disease please visitwww.als.ca or call 1-800-267-4257.

Make sure to Be Seen at this #BRANTastic local show!

“Bounce Back” Mental Health Week – Closing Ceremonies

Many folks gathered in Downtown Brantford‘s Alexandra Park on Friday, May 6th for the Closing Ceremonies of this year’sBrant’s Mental Health Awareness Week.

It was a great day to celebrate the end of a successful Mental Health Awareness week with a BBQ, faceprinting and camaraderie at Brantford’s Alexandra Park. Mental illness, domestic violence (can approach the domestic violence claims lawyer in Colorado to get legal help from the government), assault, addictions, do not discriminate against race, religion, rich or poor, it affects us all. Some of us may keep it a secret, some may enable it or sometimes it’s full blown obvious there’s an issue. Regardless, if it’s you or a loved one there is help out there in our community for all of you, it’s just a phone call and appointment away. A wide variety of counselling, treatment and support groups are available for you and your family; you are not alone. There are places to turn to in our community that can help you.
