We are thrilled to be asked to headline the Stewart Park Festival Gala fundraiser which is scheduled for next Saturday, May 31st. (Please note that this event was originally scheduled for the 10th of May and is not, I repeat IS NOT cancelled).

On this evening, Tell Mama fans will be able to get a sense of a new Tell Mama. We have had some changes on the musician front - all very amenable, it’s just that people have lives it seems (at least, people other than Franc and I!) and they have other projects they need to attend to. So, on the 31st, our CD producer, Phil Bova of Bova Sound, will be performing on bass guitar and Pat Grenier will be rocking things out on the kit. Phil has played with many performers in the area including the Hilotrons, Dennis Whitty & Russel Levia. Pat is the key organizer of the Arnprior arm of the Mississippi Blues Society jam session and has played with a whole bunch of local groups including the Priorities & Ghost Band. He has played with us a couple of times already and is fitting in very nicely (except for on the narrow stage at the Rideau Canal Museum where we almost crippled him!).

So, here’s to new sounds and lots of fun! Tickets for this evening are $40 and include food and entertainment. The committee is following an Academy Awards theme so expect a lot of glitz and glamor, especially on the red carpet!

Tickets are available at Shadowfax and Jo’s Clothes. It’s a good idea to buy them in advance as this event has sold out before and this is a show you won’t want to miss!
