Lori Yates featuring Buckshot Bebee & Duane Rutter

Hey there Pearls,

With me today I have Canadian powerhouse, Lori Yates, live at the Pearl Company March 22. She will be teaming up with Duane Rutter (acoustic guitar), Steve Wood (pedal steel), Michael Hickey (stand up bass), Andrew Aldridge and Nick Burson (percussion). This night is going to be jam packed with some amazing music that you won't want to miss!! Here is just a bit about who Lori is.

"She's pulling herself up by the bra straps, out of the honky-tonks and into the soft-seaters!" ONE NIGHT ONLY! Veteran singer/songwriter Yates brings her contagious spirit, her finely crafted songs, her glorious voice, and her charismatic stage presence to her first appearance at the Pearl Company. Having written with such legendary songwriters as Guy Clark, Colin Linden, and Don Schlitz (among others), award-winning Yates has completely won the hearts of Hamilton Audiences since her move here in 2002. As one of the pioneers of "alt-country" long before the phrase existed here in Canada, she has 6 CD's to her credit; she's signed with major labels (Sony, Virgin) and been an indie artist. What defines her most is her total unwavering commitment to her craft. Lori is also a successful promoter & host for her sold-out shows; "Johnny Cash- the Original Punk', and "Your Good Girls Gonna Go Bad". She is also the creator of the new and wildly popular Creative Genius Songwriting Workshops.

Doors will be opening at 7:30 pm and the show will be starting up at 8:00 pm. Get here early so you can get a great seat! Tickets will be sold for $20 to all guests.

Until Next Time!

In their past shows here they have SOLD OUT, so be extra sure that you don't miss out and get your tickets now! Here is just a bit about these Star Performers.

FIN DE FIESTA brings Spanish passion to Canadian soil. This group of flamenco artists recently returned to Canada from Seville, Spain where they spent some time Studying flamenco intensively, and are now organizing a tour to perform the new material. Most also Perform with Flamenguitos del Notre, a flamenco collective that has performed at flamenco festivals across Canada. The name FIN DE FIESTA translates to "End of the Party", a reference to the open jam session that occurs at the end of a traditional flamenco show in Spain. It is during the fin de fiesta that the true improvisational and spirited nature of flamenco shows itself, and it is that lively spirit that inspires the group. FIN DE FIESTA is made up of guitarist Dennis Duffin, singer Tamar Llana, and dancers Lia Grainger and Alexandra Talbot.

I bet your all just as excited as I am to see these guys live in the Pearl Lounge! Here is just a bit about who they are.

Rant Maggie Rant, one of Canada’s most exciting Celtic fusion ensembles, hits the road again. Since their formation in 2008, this Stratford-based band has been wowing audiences at festivals, concert halls and symphonic stages across Canada and the U.S. with their outstanding artistry and on-stage vibe. Rant Maggie Rant brings together four superbly talented musicians who like to colour outside the lines. During their concerts, they will deliver a beautiful traditional ballad, chase it up with an Appalachian-style groove and end with a killer jig or reel. Traditionalists love their time-honoured style, while new Celtic music listeners are drawn to the band’s fusion of World influences. “Rant Maggie Rant exudes a style and brand of Celtic entertainment that is both new and old. Their showmanship, and delivery combined with their diversity of traditional sound coupled with upbeat and unexpected blends, makes them a welcome addition to any musical line up….”  Maggie Durocher, Windsor Celtic Festival.
