ABOUT TREMELOCO

Tremoloco is an eclectic roots band who have been described as Sonoran Gothic Folk, Gulf Coast roots and Tex-Mexican-Americana. Sometimes refer to it as simply “CANTINA MUSIC”.

Tremoloco is most often compared to Los Lobos for their similar influences, Zamora’s East L.A. roots, and a mutual friendship (session ace Zamora has played Los Lobos sideman on tour and members of Los Lobos often guest on Tremoloco’s albums). For a few years now Zamora has split his base between L.A. & Houston, Texas reflecting the mixed origins of the current band.

They have been labeled Tex-Mex, Sonoran gothic folk, and more recently Americana. Informally, the members refer to it as their “cantina music.” In truth, the band embraces varied musical traditions you find along the U.S. Gulf Coast and Mexican border with songs in English and Spanish.

There are still a few seats available for this intimate afternoon we are sharing with Tim Williams & Paul Pigat

Join us for this AIR CONDITIONED special event Sun August 18th at Winston Heights-Mountview Community Centre with these 2 Canadian icons sharing the stage for an epic afternoon of Blues, Stories and…    A guaranteed memorable day.

Always a pleasure to share an afternoon with one of Calgary’s favorite Blues icons… Mr. Tim Williams but now we have another distiguished Canadian recording artist Mr. Paul Pigat (AKA Cousin Harley) sharing the stage makes for an outstanding day to join us!! Absolutely thrilled to have Paul and Tim share an intimate afternoon with us.

Hartland · Paul Pigat · The Game

About PAUL PIGAT

Paul Pigat is arguably one of the best guitar player around on the competitive national and international scenes. While he has a degree in classical music and music theory, he has devoted himself to a different vibe. With his various ensembles, including Cousin Harley and The Smoking Jackets, he has carved out a very respectable career creating great music drawing from just about every genre of popular music – jazz, blues, rockabilly and more. Blessed with a jazz man’s sheen, a rockabilly heart & a hobo’s soul, there aren’t many genres of music that don’t pull at Pigat’s wayfaring imagination like a magnet.

About TIM WILLIAMS

Canadian Blues & Roots Artist

As a producer/performer on four JUNO-nominated projects, Tim Williams is one of our favorite local icons that has privileged us numerous times over the years. His 36 year career and constant work in the Calgary music industry is inspirational for so many. Always such a pleasure to share an afternoon with one of my favorite local celebrity musicians that has been such a key builder of the music scene in Calgary & huge part of developing live  music spaces  we enjoy today.

About The CORAZONES

The Corazones (or The “Hearts” in Spanish) are a versatile band based in Calgary, Alberta. They draw inspiration from artists like Bill Withers, Van Morrison, The Band, The Meters, Marvin Gaye and other incredible 70’s songwriters. Their choice selection of cover tunes and originals infuse these influences. Their live show is full of powerful “raise the roof” vocals, groovy bass and drums, evocative guitar riffs, harmonies, piano, organ, harmonica and an excellent collection of really bad jokes. Big sound for a four-piece band! 10 years performing together has brought this unique band to stages across Western Canada.

Live in the CommonUNITY

Sunday, May 26th, 2024 @ 3:00pm

Look forward to Braden Gates on his second visit to the “House” for another shared afternoon of his music and stories. Come on along!

About Braden Gates

Braden Gates is a young man, which may come as a surprise to anyone who has heard his brand of classic foot stompin’, fiddle playin’, guitar pickin’ folk. It would be easy to stereotype Gates as an old soul, but despite his love of traditional folk instrumentation and songwriting and old timey stage clothes, Gates’ sound carries a youthful feel and never feels affected or inauthentic. Through the ease with which he bows his fiddle and picks his guitar, and the straightforward uncluttered honesty of his lyrics, Gates has a natural way with a story.
