tofino concert - jill barber

Saturday, May 14, 2011
Tofino Legion
Tickets $20 • Doors 9pm

Drawing on influences from old-time jazz standards, folk balladry and traditional country, Halifax’s Jill Barber has become one of Canada’s most distinctive young voices. Striking a balance between classic and contemporary songwriting styles Jill demonstrates a melodic sense, clever and compelling lyrical abilities, and showcases her unique voice, aptly described as a “cozy alto purr.” There is sense of timelessness to Barber’s songs, and a sensual quality to her performances. The National Post called her “Canada’s best alt-cabaret singer”, and she got four-star reviews in Eye, Now, and chatattack.com. She was also nominated for two 2005 East Coast Music Awards in the categories of Best Female Artist and Best Folk Recording and garnered a nomination at the inaugural Canadian Folk Music Awards, in the category of Best New/Emerging Artist.

Maquinna Pub
Tickets $15 • Doors 9pm

Tim Hus has a voice sweeter than a Husqvarna chainsaw, a wit that is sharper than rusty barbed wire, and a list of songs longer than a Saskatchewan fence line! Following his acclaimed CD Bush Pilot Buckaroo comes the highly anticipated fifth album (his 2nd for Stony Plain Records) Hockeytown joining Corb Lund and the legendary Ian Tyson on the label. Hus comes at his audience like a runaway rig, while firing off image-laden lyrics with the intensity of a western gunslinger.
