Who needs a Little Big Band?

Tuesday October 9th @ 8pm
Markham Theatre
Colin James***** & Craig Northey****
"Up Close, Personal and Slightly Unplugged"

I've been lucky enough to see Colin James four times now, including at a Blues Fest at Molson Amphitheatre sometime in the 90s with my Dad, and a few years ago at Massey Hall and at Markham Theatre with Paul. You can always count on an amazing show with wizard-like blues guitar solos and his wicked sexy voice! His showmanship and sense of humour are second to none, and a concert with Craig Northey was quite inspired! We laughed as much as we clapped. Well... almost as much!

I don't have anything funny to say... the night was all good! From the programme: "Frequent collaborators and good friends... Tonight's show [...] is a show not to be missed. Sharing their acoustic side of music, Colin and Craig's songwriting partnership spans four Colin James albums and 8 years of touring. These two musicians with awe-inspiring guitar abilities boast an acoustic energy comparable to none."

I went with Paul, my Dad, and my sister Rachel, and we sat up in the first row of the balcony. Yep, that's it. All good!

Umm..yes? thanks? It's funny that I started this blog for "us" and it went all the way to 10/27 before I saw something with you. (Jim Cuddy doesn't count!)
