FEBRUARY

3 – Saskatoon Soaps

Wed February 8 – BLACKIE + the RODEO KINGS

$35 advance, $40 day-of-show, +$2 service charge. Assigned seating.

Maybe you know Blackie – maybe you even picked up “Kings and Queens” this year – with incredible guest spots from Rosanne Cash, Lucinda Williams, Serena Ryder and many more. Here is what “American Songwriter” said about it: “Three years in the making, it’s a varied, inspired, and often moving collection that’s never forced or predictable. Hopefully it will provide much deserved American exposure for this talented but thus far under-the-(US) radar male threesome. ****”

What you have been missing is seeing them live – so they’re back at the Broadway (first time in 5 years!) for one excellent show. Take this opportunity to see Colin Linden, Stephen Fearing and Tom Wilson live – and hear them fill the auditorium with graceful tones.

10 & 11 – Legal Follies

MARCH

Thursday March 8 – the ARROGANT WORMS

$28.50 advance, $33.50 day-of-show, +$2 service charge. Assigned seating.

Available at Broadway Box office or by phone – 652.6556 xt 3

Three quarters of a quarter of a century ago, something magnificent happened in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Sensing a desperate public need for musical comedy, The Arrogant Worms was formed. The Arrogant Worms began as a comedy troupe performing songs and sketches on the campus radio station in 1991. As the live show developed, the songs delighted the audience. The sketches – not so much.

It began as a hobby, making fun of a big dumb world. Luckily, the world is still dumb and The Arrogant Worms (Mike McCormick, Chris Patterson and Trevor Strong) still have plenty to sing about. The shows are fast, furious and family friendly. The wit is quick, the satire is biting and the musicianship is second to none. Their appeal has earned them fans from kids to parents to grandparents to Princess Leia.

The Worms sold out last time they were here in 2010 – so don’t wait to get your tickets – see you here or not!

“The First Lady of the Guitar” graces the Broadway stage this spring – bringing her world-class technique and lush guitar feel. As a guitarist, Boyd has little left to prove. Her prowess has brought her multiple gold and platinum records, five Juno awards, the Order of Canada and induction into Guitar Player magazine’s Gallery of Greats (she topped their prestigious poll for top classical guitarist five times). She has earned the respect of her peers, performed around the world, played private concerts for the British Royal family, multiple presidents, prime ministers and world leaders, and compiled an extensive discography of highly praised and musically eclectic albums. On her 2009 release "LIONA BOYD SINGS SONGS OF LOVE", as well as playing guitar, Liona sings for the first time. She is accompanied on vocal harmonies and guitar by Srdjan Givoje – and shows a fearlessness in adding to her guitar talents.

- Sao Paulo, Brazil:
"... one of today's greatest exponents of the guitar."

The Plain Dealer, Cleveland:
"... a quiet poetic brilliance."

Ivan Coyote was born and raised in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. An award-winning author of six collections of short stories, one novel, three CDs, four short films and a renowned performer, Ivan’s first love is live storytelling, and over the last seventeen years she has become an audience favourite at music, poetry, spoken word and writer's festivals from Anchorage to Amsterdam. The Globe and Mail called Ivan "a natural-born storyteller" and Ottawa X Press said "Coyote is to CanLit what k.d. lang is to country music: a beautifully odd fixture." The Toronto Star praises Coyote’s “talent for sketching the bizarre in the everyday”, and Quill’s Magazine says Ivan has a “distinctive and persuasive voice, a flawless sense of pacing, and an impeccable sense of story.” Ivan’s column, “Loose End” has appeared monthly in Xtra West magazine since 2001. Her first novel, Bow Grip, was awarded the Relit award for best fiction and named by the American Library Association as a Stonewall honor book in literature. It is in development to be made into a feature length film. Ivan’s new collection of short stories, Missed Her, was released in September, 2010, and her latest collection, One In Every Crowd, her first book written for queer youth, will be published in April 2012.

Presented by College of Education, UofS as part of their 15th annual “BREAKING THE SILENCE” conference.

Presented by VIVE and the Broadway

SAID THE WHALE’s new studio album Little Mountain will be released in North America on March 6, 2012 via Hidden Pony Records/EMI. It will be released in the U.K. and Europe on March 12. The 15 track long player is the band’s third studio record. The 2011 JUNO Award winning band for New Group Of The Year released the first single from the new album, the dancefloor-catchy Heavy Ceiling before the end of 2011. It’s currently a Canadian Alt-Rock/ Active Rock favourite, this week seeing play at stations across the country from St. John’s to Vancouver. According to Mediabase, Heavy Ceiling is the #3 Top 10 Gainer and #2 Most Added track at Alternative Rock. The single reflects the confident, and razor sharp sound fans can expect from this new Said The Whale album. Little Mountain was produced by Tom Dobrzanski and mixed by multiple Grammy Award winner, Jack Joseph Puig.

To launch the record, Said The Whale has completed videos for all 15 album tracks. Each video will get an exclusive reveal in either Canada, the U.S. or the U.K. via an array of mainstream media and blog outlets. The first video will be revealed on February 7 via Exclaim.ca, and the band’s whirlwind tour schedule will take them across Canada, the US, the UK and Europe this year.

Said The Whale, with Little Mountain has produced their most adventurous effort yet; with juggernaut production values, song suites thatexplode out of the speakers and tracks that blend seamlessly into one another. It finds the group defying rock conventions without sacrificing any of their pop smarts. More diverse than previous albums, Little Mountain is a multi-stylistic tour-de-force that ventures into everything from soaring, horn-laden cabaret ("The Reason") to jaggedly syncopated rock ("We Are 1980") and effervescent guitar pop ("Loveless").
