An Open Stage for the Underage: Stephenville

We are taking the show on the road! On Sunday, April 10th, for the first time ever, Mr. H Presents is going to Stephenville, and taking over the Arts & Culture Centre. 

What are the young people of the Bay St. George area up to, anyway? Who's making music? Who needs a stage? 

Aspiring musicians aged 12-18 are invited to prepare 3-4 songs (up to 15 minutes), though set times will depend on the final number of performers who sign up to play. 

Corner Brook regulars Bailey Jordan-Neil, Caylie Hopkins, and Bridget Swift & Dahlia Waller, will fill out the lineup. 

The show will run from 2-4pm, and performers should arrive by 1:45 to sign up. Admission is $5, and tickets are available now at the ACC box office. 

The new series: In Session

For years now, I have been watching for other ways to involve touring artists as they pass through Corner Brook; if I can't book them for a show, I'll try to get them into a classroom, at the very least.

Several years ago, feeling I could do more, I imagined an interactive workshop, one where students could listen to an artist perform AND talk about various aspects of live performance: practice, song selection, instrumentation, crowd banter, and so on. After numerous conversations with artists, and a handful of best-intentions, the stars aligned, and we have ourselves a show.

Sunday, March 13th, at 2pm, young musicians are invited to join us at Swirsky's for the first-ever In Session event. Allie Duff and Heather Nolan are great musicians from St. John's, and I couldn't be happier to be launching this new series with them.

Admission is $10. Parents are welcome to attend (certainly welcome to pay ;) ), but everyone should please remember the event is student-oriented.
