KRISTI NEUMANN
Venables Alive!

Kristi Neumann is a gifted singer/songwriter who spent most of her musical career in Nashville, Tennessee. Following the footsteps of many transplanted Nashville songwriters, Kristi successfully carved out a place for herself in a town that does not forgive mediocrity. Armed with a growing catalog of self-penned tunes, her prowess as a writer and performer definitely turned heads. Kristi's music is original and provocative. Her songs weave through themes that embrace both a wandering past and an optimistic hope for things to come. With perfect sensibility, her introspective lyrics leave just enough room for well-crafted, pop-friendly hooks.

Canadians first met Barney in 1988 as leader of the Legendary Hearts when MuchMusic embraced an indie video of the heartland anthem “Something to Live For.” Next came a self-titled Epic Records’ album which sold over 100,000 units, and earned the group a JUNO Award for Best New Group. As his life began moving at a dizzying speed, Barney was swept into a circle of peers that included Blue Rodeo, k.d. lang, The Tragically Hip, Colin James, 54.40, and The Odds. His career education took place in parlaying strong grassroots popularity into a national following; and by playing to crowds in seedy bars to concert halls and arenas all over Canada. At its peak, the band was playing 200 dates a year, graduating from touring in a van to a motorhome to tour buses. After a half decade layoff from recording on his own, Barney Bentall returns with his finest, his most powerful, and most incisive album to date, The Drifter & The Preacher on True North Records.

Flat Out Funny Comedy Tour

You don’t get to pick your own nickname, and when you’re a master impressionist that can impersonate a Harley Davidson better than anyone in the world, you get the best nickname ever, “The Harley Guy”.
In 1979 Herb Dixon began making club audiences laugh in Vancouver comedy clubs, quickly becoming one of the most in-demand comedians in North America. He auditioned for Star Search in 1994 and not only made it onto the hit show hosted by Ed McMahon, he appeared on three episodes, successfully defending his comedy title twice. Herb was officially established as a must-see act! He performed at the massive 17,000 seat grandstand show at the Calgary Stampede not once, but twice in 2002 and 2005. In 2003 Herb was invited to put his Harley Davidson impression to the test by none other than Harley Davidson themselves, at the 100-year anniversary event in Milwaukee, sharing the stage with BB King. Herb impressed the tough biker crowd and knew for certain his Harley impression was as good as they get. Herb Dixon has also shared the stage with the Doobie Brothers, The Beach Boys, Blake Shelton, LeAnne Rimes and Kenny Chesney at the famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in 2009. From corporate conventions to cruise ships and headline performances, Herb finds a way to have fun with every audience and is known as one of the most consistent comedians working today! |

Ali Hassan’s career plans started off as simply as anyone’s: become a chef, get a food show on television, get a second food show on television, be the face of the network and have oven mitts with his face on them.

This show is a hilarious exposition of Ali’s journey in and out of the culinary world in which he spent 12 years. It’s a little like Eat, Pray, Love....minus the Prayer.

Bruce Coughlan & Company pay tribute to the genius of Van Morrison, the Mystic Celtic Soul singer and songwriter who has placed his indelible stamp on Western Music culture for over half a century! Join Moondance at Venables Theatre for an energetic and joyous celebration of Van Morrison, his life & music.
In 1970, Van Morrison recorded two albums: Moondance & Van Morrison, His Band and the Street Choir. From these two albums alone flowed a stream of enduring classics: And It Stoned Me, Moondance, Crazy Love, Caravan, Into the Mystic, Blue Money, Domino & I've Been Working. In the half-century to pass since, Van Morrison has continued to write, perform and produce his distinct brand of Rhythm & Blues. Bruce Coughlan and two of his Moondance bandmates are the heart and soul of Tiller’s Folly, (the masterful Celtic band who played to packed theatres all over Canada, the United States & the British Isles). They have added three top artists with feet deep in Celtic tradition to create this world class band to perform some of the most globally embraced music of the day. Van Morrison would definitely approve. |
