Tragedy Ann

When grit and groove meets softly swaying silk, the thrift-folk of Braden Phelan and Liv Cazzola comes to life. With an electric chemistry and quick-witted sense of humour, they’ve threaded their colours and textures together to create the terrifying two-headed kitten that is Tragedy Ann. Playing with folk and alt. blues yarns, Cazzola and Phelan draw from personal experiences to filter narrative stories of the past and present into their own songwriting. Having performed in 2016 at Live From the Rock, toured Western Canada, and released their debut EP Stumbling – Tragedy Ann is known to make audiences laugh, cry, hug complete strangers, and is the only cure for the common cold. Bring the purr.

Shawna Caspi

Shawna Caspi is a singer-songwriter with a powerful voice and serious guitar chops. With a commanding stage presence and an inviting charm, she doesn’t need a band to deliver an engaging and energetic show. She has all the sound she needs under her fingertips, with a remarkable fingerstyle guitar technique.

Shawna makes her living singing stories in cafes, theatres, living rooms, and even on moving trains. She has toured across Canada and the north and southeast United States and has played festivals including the Blue Skies Music Festival, the Summerfolk Festival, the Shelter Valley Folk Festival, the Ottawa Grassroots Festival, and the Deep Roots Music Festival. She loves the landscapes of her travels and while weaving them into her songs, she has also been portraying them on canvases. Shawna paints one-of-a-kind works of art inspired by the rich scenery she sees on tour.

Fundraiser for CDCS with the Joy Trio @ Desboro Music Hall

Tickets

Aug 12 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

Come support the Music Department at Chesley District Community School with an evening of music.

The Joy Trio

Presenting Classic Songs from

Gershwin to Patsy Cline

With Special Guests: Students from CDCS

Anika Alexander, Olivia Nagle, Grace Heard, Maisie Heard

The Joy Trio formed just over a year ago. It came together rather by a turn of events as

Mike Grace had arranged a session for Susan to learn about jazz voicings with Don

Buchanan. That plan quickly changed when Susan received an invitation to entertain at a

Christmas party. The planned session became a rehearsal instead and they have played

together as a trio ever since.

Susan Joy Dietrich is proud of her roots in the Desboro Community. Her first time on stage

may have been dancing the Irish Jig with cousins in the Desboro Hall during a Fall Fair

Variety concert. Susan enjoys children, anything music and is especially enjoying this new

venture into jazz as she learns to sing classic tunes from the Great American Songbook.

For over 40 years Don Buchanan has been a keyboardist for many groups and

vocalists in the Grey Bruce area. Through this time he has also been a part of

the music ministry at St. Mary’s church in Owen Sound and has contributed

scores and music direction to several OSLT plays and musicals. Vocal

accompaniment is Don’s favourite musical task and he is honoured to play for

Sue in The Joy Trio.

Mike Grace has been a professional musician most of his life. From

playing ranch parties and road houses in Texas to touring the world with his

trio or quartet, Mike has made performing classical and jazz music his

passion. Among Mike’s most treasured moments in education is being

named a Disney-McDonald’s Performing Arts Teacher in 1996 and being

named University of Michigan Musical Society’s Educator Of The Year.

Among the many performers Mike has had the great fortune to perform with

are Dave Brubeck, Dizzy Gillespie, Mel Torme’, Rob McConnell, Roger Williams,

Urbie Green, Billy Taylor, Clark Terry, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Henry Mancini,

Jimmy Forrest, Peter Appleyard, Randy Brecker, Rosemary Clooney, Sonny Stitt.

Proceeds will go to the Music Department at Chesley District Community School to purchase new instruments

The Music Department at CDCS has a great need for new instruments as repair costs are high and there is no room in the budget to replace instruments.
