Join us on September 10 for Catherine North MashUP II, an experimental concert/recording project at Catherine North Studios in Hamilton, Ontario.
- The premise Invite two individual artists who don’t know each other. Pair them up for a joint recording session/concert performance.
- The Catch They collaborate live in front of you, the audience, while we record the process and outcome. No preproduction. No overdubs.
- The venue The main tracking room at Catherine North Studios – an inspirational open concept church space, fantastic for capturing live-off-the-floor performances.
Admission is PWYC: Guestlist (free), Supporter ($5) and Patron ($20). Proceeds from Supporter and Patron ticket sales will go towards supporting the project.
Our two guest artists on September 10 will be:
Adam Warner – As the longtime drummer for rock-and-roll armada White Cowbell Oklahoma, former member of pop sensation The Golden Dogs, and founding member of African group Radio Nomad, Adam Warner has a breadth of musical experience that belies his small-town roots. He has performed and/or recorded with members of the Barenaked Ladies, Sloan, the Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, and Great Big Sea, among others. Lyrically and musically, Adam stands at the crossroads between the country and the city. With a huge voice that ranges from gentle and smooth to peel-the-paint-off-the-walls holler, Adam makes “Country-Soul” music with serious groove. www.adamwarner.com
Amanda Zelina (The Coppertone) – Amanda Zelina is The Coppertone. With a voice that howls, unapologetic moody fuzzed out guitars, primal drums, and lyrics soaked in soul, The Coppertone is an exciting and refreshing new face to contemporary blues. “My influences are from guys like Mississippi Fred McDowell, Junior Kimbrough, John Lee Hooker, Son House… Blues men who used their fingers to dig into the strings, who held a note for eight bars more than they technically should because it felt right.” Amanda continues, “The blues to me is non-restrictive… It’s a spiritual force, a feeling more than a chord structure.” thecoppertone.com
