Mac’s Musings

Always busy over here!

1. Every month I look back to the
   previous and think, wow we had a lot going on last month, and then the new
   month gets going and I realize, we always have a lot going on. June is proving
   to be another busy one over here. We are happy to support both Kate Reid and
   Eric John in a few local shows, as well as a little out of town trip with Eric
   and the band in Red Deer and Wainwright earlier this month. We have really been
   busy planning and organizing 3 shows we have all in the span of a week at the
   end of June, beginning of July and booking artists for our new partnership with
   a local venue.
2. SHOWS – as mentioned we have 3
   shows coming up that have been keeping us busy. The first is a fun and exciting
   songwriter’s circle happening at The Powderhorn Saloon in Bragg Creek on June
   29^th. The Saloon Sessions will bring together Eric John, Kate Reid,
   Steve Jevne and Eden Taylor for an intimate song swap. It is the first of many
   shows we hope to host in Bragg Creek, as that is home turf for both Seth and I.
   Next up is our Canada Day showcase at Trolley 5 Brewery on, you guessed it,
   Canada Day. Kate Reid will be hosting the day and doing a couple sets of her
   own, and we have 7 local artists who will each perform 3 Canadian cover songs
   and an original. There is a special guest who you haven’t heard yet kicking off
   the event with the national anthem, you won’t want to miss it. Finally, July 6^th
   is our monthly installment of Music 4 Mental Health. Prairie Dog brewery will
   play host to 6 local artists (solos, duos and full bands) the first Saturday of
   stampede, expect a little bit of everything. Artists include Matt and Jon,
   Keira Meyer, Ostella, Kayla Williams, Eric John and The Brother Bicker Band. Partial
   proceeds of the event will go to raise funds and awareness for The Alberta
   Adolescent Recovery Centre (AARC). This is an all ages show and seniors and
   kids under 13 are FREE.
3. VENUE PARTNERSHIP – We are
   super excited to announce that we are now exclusive booking and promotional
   partners with The Banquet Calgary. We have been busy securing artists for Live
   Music Wednesdays at the University District and have already booked artists
   until the end of September, we take over booking for Mahogany in September as
   well. In addition to booking their Wednesday music, I have been busy planning an
   awesome all female artist showcase for The Banquet University District coming
   in August. I am really excited to share the details about this one so stay
   tuned.
