Fred Eaglesmith - Tambourine

Oct 8, 2014

8 pm

The Root: Community Emporium
Phone: 306-825-5885

All your broken Tambourines
And shattered dreams
And quiet screams
We’ll just leave them with the band
Take my hand
We’ll just dance

The heart of rock and roll is alive and well with Fred Eaglesmith’s 20th album, Tambourine. Fusing together all of Fred’s past influences, the result is pure rock ‘n ‘roll reminiscent of 1966.

Eaglesmith is a veteran of the music industry and at the same time is about as far away from actually participating in today’s music industry as one could be. Never operating within anyone’s boundaries, he continues to set the standard for independent artists everywhere. While blazing his own often colourful path he has avoided most of the traps and pitfalls of his peers, his career reads like a manual on how to succeed in music today without trying to fit into the traditional business models.

Gunner and Smith

Cost- $10

It’s been an eventful past four years for Saskatoon’s Gunner & Smith. Starting in 2010 as a solo project by folk artist Geoff Smith, the band evolved into a multi-member indie country rock ensemble that traverses the rocky line between post-prairies balladeering and grit-covered rockers for those given to heavy highway drives and long, expansive thoughts. Initially emerging from Smith’s one-man vision, Gunner & Smith released their first EP, Letter of Marque, in 2011. Featuring the lithe, lonely swaying sounds of Saskatchewan folk, country and rock, Smith quickly followed up his sparse debut release with his second EP entitled Compromise is a Loaded Gun.

When Al Peterson & Caleb “BraveHart” Hart decided on a whim to climb onto the stage together in January 2013 they could not have predicted what the years ahead held. After only 3 improvised songs, they were surrounded by a crowd of people asking where their music could be found, and so a band (now including Adam Paananen and Derek Wilder) was formed!

Alexandria Maillot

It is easy to assume, at the age of twenty-one, that endeavours are a mere surface scratch to the entirety of one’s corporeality lifespan. Toes have been dipped in the waters of trial and triumph, yet a quarter of a life hardly merits a badge of prolific feat. It is easy to assume, at the age of twenty-one, that one does not yet know who they are. It is easy to assume.

Jeff has been singing since he was five years old. In a similar situation to Elvis, Jeff was encouraged strongly by his Mum. Both Jeff and Elvis sang in church with their mothers and entered talent contests at an early age! 

The first time Jeff performed his tribute to Elvis was for a figure skating fund raiser for his daughters. That was in 1987 and Jeff did a few shows and in 2000 he was challenged to compete in the largest competition in North America and in 2003 was fortunate enough to become Grand Champion in the Non-Professional division. 

For several years between 2000 and 2007 Jeff competed in Memphis TN during Elvis week in August. Each year Jeff was fortunate to finish as a finalist.

In 2007 Jeff competed in the Penticton Pacific North West Elvis festival and won the Professional championship. As a prize for this victory Jeff was honoured as one of the first 24 top professional Tribute Artists in the world to be invited to the inaugural Ultimate Elvis competition. This is the first Elvis Tribute artist competition that was fully supported and sanctioned by Graceland and Elvis Presley Enterprises, EPE. To be named as one of the top 24 artists in the world and to compete in such a prestigious event was truly an honour!

Please sit back relax and enjoy the ride down memory lane. Close your eyes and imagine the Essence of Elvis performing especially for you!

Donations for the Lloydminster Food Bank will be accepted the evening of the event.

Auction: 8 pm

 Tickets: $20 - Includes Steak Dinner



Auctioneer: Kurt Price



The Canadian Brewhouse is the backdrop to a fundraising event for Vic Juba Community Theatre that features the auctioning of one NHL team hat for each NHL team.

The holder of the hat of the Stanley Cup winning team receives 20% of the proceeds. The holders of the hats of each regular season Conference Winner receives 5% of the proceeds (each). The holder of the hat of the official last place team in the season receives 10% of the proceeds.

Get your team together to bid on the hat of your choice! Buy your tickets and then reserve a table for your group. To reserve a table, phone The Canadian Brewhouse: 780-871-0730.

The higher the bid, the more you ultimately win! For example, their total goal with this fundraiser is $21,000.

The Travelling Mabels is a folk/country female trio from Alberta and were voted ACMA 2011 “Group Of The Year”.

Singularly, each woman can vocally stand alone, but once you hear their combined harmony blend, you will know why these three women came together.

The beauty of the Mabels is that they represent three generations of women. This results in a dynamic energy that most audiences would not experience every day.

Their musical influences range from Dolly Parton, The Eagles, Bob Dylan to Sheryl Crow. Their comedic yet often heart-felt take on life means they more than meet a wide range of audience expectations whenever they perform.

Appetizers will be served during Intermission
