He’s been a musician all his life. \nA Phi Beta Kappa and honors graduate of Washington & Lee University\, Ainslie came of age during the Civil Rights era\, and cultivated a powerful affinity for cross-cultural exchange. He has studied with elder musicians on both sides of the color line – in the Old-Time Southern Appalachian fiddle and banjo traditions\, as well as Black Gospel and Blues. He plays this music with affection\, authority\, and power. \nArmed with a variety of instruments – vintage guitars\, a fretless gourd banjo\, a one-string\, homemade diddley bow (aka cigar box guitar) and carefully chosen historical personal anecdotes of his encounters with senior musicians across the South – Ainslie brings the history\, roots music\, and sounds of America alive. \nAinslie has spent more than 30 years looking for the right story\, the right set of facts\, the right piece of history\, to introduce a song. He offers a personality\, a moment in history\, a vignette to entice you into a song and to give that song a chance to wake and breathe among us like a living thing. \nOn stage\, in educational teaching concerts\, workshops\, and school residencies\, Ainslie explores the African and European roots of American music and culture. His easy\, conversational way with audiences and cross-disciplinary approach to the music consistently garners rave reviews from presenters\, audiences\, students\, and teachers\, alike. He is a masterful and thoughtful historian\, storyteller\, and musician. \nWebsite: cattailmusic.com \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/CattailMusic URL:https://calgaryhouseconcerts.ca/event/scott-ainslie-march-1-2020/ LOCATION:Calgary House Concerts\, 3344 Boulton Road NW\, Calgary\, Alberta\, T2L1M4\, Canada CATEGORIES:Upcoming House Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://calgaryhouseconcerts.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Scott-Anslie-Poster-image-v2.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Dave Donovan 403 605 4177":MAILTO:calgaryhouseconcerts@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20200216T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20200216T190000 DTSTAMP:20260421T103806 CREATED:20200216T120018Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200217T161739Z UID:3086-1581868800-1581879600@calgaryhouseconcerts.ca SUMMARY:Ken Stead Sun February 16th DESCRIPTION:Calgary House Concerts presents Ken Stead\nKen Stead already has a firm foothold in the Canadian roots community\, having graced the grassy stages and sessions of Edmonton Folk Fest\, Canmore Folk Fest\, and North Country Fair\, as well as rowdier venues like Main Stage Big Valley Jamboree\, the Calgary Stampede Coke Stage and Wild Mountain Festival. Whether playing solo\, or with his 5 piece band\, Ken Stead makes every room feel like home. A generous demeanor\, a delicate wit\, and an empathetic understanding of audiences of all shapes\, his performances are as true and honest as the songs themselves. \nSunday\, February 16\, 2020 @ 4:00 PM\n\nReserve Your Tickets for Ken Stead Now!\nDoor goes to the artist \n$25.00Go To Checkout \n \n \n\nKen Stead\nAn excerpt from Ken’s Bio: \nKen is known for silencing a room to a whisper\, but with his new release\, Civil War\, he proves capable of starting an uproar. With more volume\, comes more space to make heartfelt moments rattle through your chest. Guitars\, bass and drums punctuate charged lyricism and lived experience. It’s full and dynamic roots rock\, with an emphasis on connecting with an audience\, born from Stead’s keen musical interest in both folk and hip hop. \nProduced by Winston Hauschild (Hannah Georgas\, Hey Ocean)\, and mixed by Canadian legend Howie Beck (Barenaked Ladies\, Feist\, Walk Off The Earth)\, Civil War is an earnest portrait of the domestic\, the conflicts present in the everyday\, and how one’s struggle with themselves and their own faults bleed into their relationships with others\, how that mirrors the larger political climate. Throughout the record\, Stead grapples with his firm belief that peace begins with the individual. “Trouble” is a song that combines roots rock with 80’s synth danceability. With the grit and strength in Ken’s voice\, he captures the moment you realize you’re in some sort of trouble\, but knowing that trouble is exactly what you’re looking for. Tracks like “I’m Done Trying” are strong and self-critical\, pining to understand the other with empathy and the earned conviction of its power-chords. “Why You Afraid Of The Dark” is a roots/soul song tackling the fear of facing the hard times with soulful piano\, groovy rhythms\, and a hook that will having you singing along. \n“Unfinished is a quick 26 minute listen\, and each time it finishes spinning in my stereo I find myself disappointed there isn’t more. The albums pace\, easy rhythms\, sweet melodies and the softness of Kens early morning voice makes you want to curl up with a loved one while “Unfinished” is playing in the background.” \nElizabeth Wilkie – Fort Saskatchewan Record \n“The music: The country- and folk-tinged tracks on this EP by Wyoming (Mich.) singer-songwriter Ken Stead\, a native of Canada\, cover the gamut in charming\, acoustic fashion: politics/social activism\, love and lost love.” \nJohn Sinkevics – Grand Rapids Press \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nWebsite: www.kenstead.net\nReverbNation: www.reverbnation.com/kenstead\nYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCU6eVXNb2MHE5IuHuNxTc-w/videos\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/pages/Ken-Stead/129609523882224 URL:https://calgaryhouseconcerts.ca/event/ken-stead/ LOCATION:Calgary House Concerts\, 3344 Boulton Road NW\, Calgary\, Alberta\, T2L1M4\, Canada CATEGORIES:Upcoming House Concerts ORGANIZER;CN="Dave Donovan 403 605 4177":MAILTO:calgaryhouseconcerts@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20200126T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20200126T190000 DTSTAMP:20260421T103806 CREATED:20191026T110018Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250530T122242Z UID:2745-1580054400-1580065200@calgaryhouseconcerts.ca SUMMARY:Alex Zayas Sunday January 26 2020 DESCRIPTION:We had a great time with Alex here back in January this year when he had returned back to Canada to kick off his western tour. \nSunday\, January 26 @ 4:00 PM\n\nReserve Your Tickets for Alex Zayas Now!\n\nAlex Zayas\nAn excerpt from Alex’s Bio \nAlex started playing guitar and singing at age 7.

Canadian lead singer and songwriter Dan Scram often gets asked how he came up with the name The Deeds: “The Deeds means actions not words\, service without boasting.” \nThis is a mantra he tries to live by in his day-to-day and it is precisely this type of honest approach to life that he also takes to his songwriting. While his band has gone through a few personnel changes and stylistic approaches over the years\, Dan feels he’s finally found the soulful roots-rock sound he’s been looking for. \nWith multi-instrumentalist (keys\, accordion\, woodwinds) Jeremy Rusu (Ron Paley Big Band\, Calvin Volrath)\, lead guitar player Pierre Freynet (The Lenny Chet Breau Band)\, drummer Brennan Saul (Brasstronaut)\, and veteran bassist Jordan Gentle on his team\, the band chemistry is tangible and Dan’s songs really come to life. \nA third\, live-off-the-floor studio album is currently in the works\, set to be released later this year. A follow-up tour will have The Deeds leaving their hometown of Winnipeg\, Manitoba\, & touring western Canada.

The band’s debut\, self-titled album\, produced by Mike Marsh of the Avett Brothers and recorded at Sonic Ranch in El Paso TX\, is now available wherever music is sold. \nInternational Song Writing Competition finalist\,“Dead Birds\,” is available on Spotify\, iTunes and wherever digital music is sold. \nFront-men and founders\, Austin and Collin\, met in their hometown of Peoria\, IL when they joined the same folk band and embarked on their first tour at the ages of 14 and 18 years old. The two became fast friends and soon began writing music together\, ultimately forming The Way Down Wanderers when Collin was 16 and Austin\, 20 years old.
