Rock.It Boy Entertainment proudly presents SHANE KOYCZAN on Sunday, October 18 at the Clarke Theatre, 33700 Prentis Avenue, Mission. Tickets are $25.00 (Plus Facility Fee & Service Charges) available at all Ticketmaster locations. Charge by phone at 1-885-985-5000 or online at www.ticketmaster.ca.
An award-winning poet, author and performer, SHANE KOYCZAN is as relevant to our times as Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen were to theirs. In a world where poets rarely infiltrate pop culture, Shane emerges atop a new wave of 21st century poetry that dares to belong to the people and speak directly to them in their own voice. With his rhythmic verse in high gear, he navigates his audience through social and political territory with a furious honesty and a tender humanity.
A writer and spoken word virtuoso, Koyczan gained global recognition when his influential, anti-bullying, “To This Day Project” video went viral in 2013. He shines a light into the bleak world behind some of the most incomprehensible acts in our culture, but also showcases the healing power of love. Among his publications are “Visiting Hours”, “Stickboy” and “Our Deathbeds will be Thirsty”, which features the piece, “To This Day”, a poem about bullying made into a video by collaborating animators and released to acknowledge anti-bullying day.
SHANE KOYCZAN is a truly extraordinary talent that has blown the dust off of the designation “poet”. His first published collection, “Visiting Hours”, was the only work of poetry selected by both the Guardian and the Globe and Mail for their Best Books of the Year (2005). Shane performed the piece “We Are More” at the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics. “Stickboy” continues to be hailed by teachers, academics, and mental health experts alike for its deft handling of the subject of bullying. Sir Ken Robinson has listed Shane’s presentation at TED Talks as one of his top ten talks on education. In addition he received 5 star reviews for his performance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (2012) and the video, “Instructions for a Bad Day”, was showcased at the Vancouver International Film Festival (2012). Koyczan is also Winner of the US Slam Poetry Championship and the Canadian Spoken Word Olympics.

Rock.It Boy Entertainment, Gee Dan Productions and 93.7 JRfm proudly present BRETT KISSEL with JORDAN MCINTOSH on Sunday, November 15 at the Clarke Theatre, 33700 Prentis Avenue, Mission. Tickets are $37.50 (Plus Facility Fee & Service Charges) available at all Ticketmaster locations. Charge by phone at 1-885-985-5000 or online at www.ticketmaster.ca.
BRETT KISSEL is an honest to goodness country boy, raised on a cattle ranch that has been in his family for over a century. It seems he was born with the passion and the talent for pickin’ and singin’, from tearing it up at talent shows from the age of 10 to taking the stage as the frontrunner in the New Wave of Old Country. THE country music story of 2014, Kissel is not to be ignored. “Started With A Song”, the title track from his debut album, swept the record for most adds at Canadian Country radio in one week, eclipsing Taylor Swift. The smooth, classic sound comes through loud and clear on the outstanding “Something You Just Don’t Forget”, “3-2-1”, “Country In My Blood”, “Together (Grandma and Grandpa’s Song)”, “Girl In A Cowboy Hat” and his latest single “Airwaves”.
It’s a good thing Brett has roots planted deep in the Alberta soil, because the parade of awards just keep coming. With 8 nominations to his credit, he won the Canadian Country Music Association Awards for CMT Video of the Year and Interactive Artist of the Year (2014). Brett also took home a Canadian Radio Music Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year in Country Music (2014) in addition to 2 Association of Country Music in Alberta awards, and 2 Edmonton Music Awards. Perhaps the jewel in the crown is his first Juno Award, becoming the first country artist to be awarded withBreakthrough Artist of the Year (2014) in 17 years. He has seen 2 of his music vides reach No. 1 at CMT, he has scored three Top 10radio hits, and he has headlined a cross-Canada tour with countless sold out shows across North America.
Through it all, the energetic and electrifying 24 year old BRETT KISSEL is keeping it real, remembering that it all
“Started With A Song”

JORDAN MCINTOSH grew up listening to Brooks and Dunn, Garth Brooks and Dwight Yoakam, taking different things from a lot of different artists. With the firm belief that every Country song tells a story, he wanted to write something that paid respect to where he’s from. Drawing on a wide range of influences this young man lays out his stories like a series of lyrical snapshots from a classic country tune. “Grew Up In A Country Song”, the first single from his forthcoming debut album delivers it all in spades, as do the tracks “That Girl”, “Story Of My Life”, “Let Me Love You”, “Walk Away” as well as his countrified version of Lil’ Wayne’s “How To Love”.
With a voice and a depth of emotion well beyond his years, JORDAN MCINTOSH is a natural born performer with stage presence to spare. Fearless and focused on stage, he has performed at a variety of talent and singing contests across Ontario and the United States. Among them, the Ottawa Super Ex Stars On The Rise Competition (2011) and Walt Disney World’s American Idol Experience, where he’s taken first place three times, most recently in 2010. In addition, the 2013 release of the video for “Grew Up In A Country Song” earned him the title of Fresh Face Feature Artist on CMT Canada. Jordan also appeared in the CMT video Home For Christmas alongsideGeorge Canyon, Aaron Pritchett and One More Girl. Not bad for a young man juggling a burgeoning music career with his senior year of high school!

Rock.It Boy Entertainment and Gee Dan Productions proudly presentONE: NATALIE MACMASTER + DONNELL LEAHY; TWO FIDDLES – TWO PIANOS TOUR on Thursday, November 26 at the Clarke Theatre, 33700 Prentis Avenue, Mission. Tickets are $42.50 (Plus Facility Fee & Service Charges) available at all Ticketmaster locations. Charge by phone at 1-885-985-5000 or online at www.ticketmaster.ca.
When two become ONE, musical magic happens. That is most certainly the case with this new album from NATALIE MACMASTERand DONNELL LEAHY. These two award-winning fiddle virtuosos have each enjoyed phenomenally successful careers on their own, butONE marks their recording debut as a duo.
With her Cape Breton roots, dedication to her craft, and love for her family, NATALIE MACMASTER is a mighty musical force with a long and successful career in music. The lively and energetic strains of “Alex MacMaster’s Jig”, “Stoney Lake Reels”, “The King George Medley”, “David’s Jig”, “Jimmy MacKinnon of Smelt Brook” and the stirring “Our Father” are just a few of the reasons this beloved and charismatic performer holds a piece of our hearts.
Over a recording career spanning 25 years, This Order of Canadarecipient has released 11 albums, won two JUNO and eleven East Coast Music Awards and has been nominated for a Grammy. A bit of a musical chameleon, MacMaster has collaborated with artists as diverse as Yo-Yo Ma, Alison Krauss, Jesse Cook, and Bela Fleck, but remains above all a master of Cape Breton fiddle.
Whether DONNELL LEAHY is performing with his internationally acclaimed family Leahy, alongside his wife, Natalie MacMaster, or solo, audiences are mesmerized by every amazing moment of his riveting performances. His perfect balance of intense power and precision with the sweetness and tone of the fiddle come together in such tunes as “Chasing Rain/Otis”, “Mission”, “Wedding Day Jig”, “Seamus”, “Coyote Way” and “Little Ditty”. Some even say he created a new genre of music known simply as “Leahy.”
Honing his remarkable talent from the tender age of three Donnell, as the oldest brother of the family, is no stranger to the awards podium. LEAHY received JUNO nominations in 1998, 2001 and 2005 along with three JUNO Awards for Instrumental Artist(s) of the Year(1998), Best New Group (1998) and Best Country Group or Duo(1999).
This dynamic duo has previously performed together as well as making appearances on each other's albums, but ONE is their official first full recording as a duo. A document of their musical growth together, ONE has been 12 years in the making, but what a document it is! The collaboration is a combination of old and new, original traditional, a true combination and complement of two becoming one. Featuring an undeniable energy with unparalleled musicality, ONE sits at #1 on the New Artist Chart and the current World Artists Chart. Committed Leahy and MacMaster fans and the curious alike will surely be charmed by this truly one of a kind concert.
