Dave Gould

Hey There Pearls,

Coming up LIVE at The Pearl Company is Dave Gould's AUDIOTORUM sound & arts show! Opening Concert on May 10. This man is extremely talented in what he does! Creativity is his game, and he is definitely one of the top contenders! Here is a bit about who he is and what the show will be like.

Dave Gould is creating an exhibition at the Pearl Company Gallery featuring his entire collection of musical inventions. Are they musical instruments or sound sculptures? (Maybe a bit of both) The Opening Concert (May 10th) will feature special guests including Orange McFarland, Gary Santucci and Chris Cracknell (Uncle Ghastly). The Pearl Company stage is an acoustically amazing opportunity to experience these sound inventions. The show will include Dave's Infamous toileteering where he performs a blistering solo on an antique toilet rigged with pickups, smoke, and lights. Chris Cracknell will play his Hubjo (a hubcap with two strings and a stick). Gary Santucci will create soundscapes with his multi pickup and stringed Hobittar. These eclectic and versatile musicians will improvise their way around this array of cool sounding oddities.

Tickets will be $15 general and $10 for students/ artists/ and seniors. The show will be starting at 8:00 pm with doors opening at 7:30 pm.

There will be a Closing Party and Social on June 14th. Open invite to improvise with sound. This will be a fun open jam social that will include refreshments and food where everyone will have a chance to explore the instruments and experience their sounds in a hands-on, collaborative live setting. This event will be starting at 8 pm and doors will be opening at 7:30 pm. Tickets are Pay What You Can so don't let money be the thing that holds you back! Come on down to enjoy hearing and playing some fantastic music!

"Voodoo-influenced, maritime country with hints of electro-acoustic experimentation" BROKEN PENCIL MAGAZINE- Toronto. "......a high degree of musicianship. These aren't "joke" songs but witty, sometimes strange, interesting, catchy numbers. The guitar and vocal work are superb. There's even a bit of an edgy, alternative vibe at play here." HAMILTON BLUES LOVERS.

Until Next Time!
