Queen City Kids and Harlequin (Casino Regina)

Category: Live Music
Dates: November 4, 2016 - November 4, 2016

Queen City Kids – It was DECEMBER 1969, The Queen City Kids; John Donnelly, Kevin Fyhn, Alex Chuaqui, Jeff Germain and their good friend Rocky Stewart got together in John’s parents’ basement for their first rehearsal ever and history was made. At all of twelve years old, (actually Kevin was still eleven), they didn’t know much about rock n’ roll yet. Except that they liked it and that it was more fun than school.
It was arranged for the first album to be recorded at Century 21 studios in Winnipeg. Most of the songs for the album had been performed and honed to a sheen on the road so there was not much to do except go in and record them. It was a bit of an eye-opener though as the Kids discovered how different it was to play in the studio. Now the emphasis was on technique, not just the raw energy that was the trademark of their live shows. But under the kind wing of Gene the band put out a very interesting album with a lot of diverse sounds and styles. It was a little hard to categorize the band. But the fans didn’t mind and they bought it up quickly in the markets that the band had played heavily. The album went to number one in Regina and Winnipeg. And very quickly was certified gold
In October 2007 QCK was inducted into the Western Canada Music Hall of Fame. The guys were honored by their peers and humbled by being included with the likes of Streetheart, Loverboy and Harlequin, as well as cultural legend Buffy St. Marie. Now in their 40th year of operation the Kids are still out there rocking from time to time at special events and festivals. Watch this site for updates and news of gigs, recordings, and happenings. Who knows how long the kids will be kids? They don’t seem to show any signs of wanting to grow up just yet.
Harlequin - Harlequin was originally formed in the mid-seventies. The band proceeded to amaze everyone by pushing the first release Victim of a Song (1979) to gold status through sheer hard work, incessant touring, word of mouth and solid song-writing. Songs like “Sweet Things In Life”, “You Are The Light” and “Survive” introduced the band to radio in many markets in Canada – especially Western Canada.
The second release, Love Crimes (1980), came with a bigger push from the label, and went on to go Platinum, powered in part by Harlequin’s biggest hit to date “Innocence”. Another track, “Thinking Of You”, became a staple of rock radio and a highlight of the live show. One False Move (1982) cemented the band’s radio success with tunes like “I Did It For Love,” “Superstitious Feeling” and “Heart Gone Cold.” The fourth and final album, eponymously titled, featured a change of direction as well as producer – Alfie Agius, former bassist with The Fixx, replaced Jack Douglas. This album produced one single “Take This Heart” and the bands only video, filmed at the abandoned Don jail in Toronto by Juno-winning Champagne Productions.

Department of History: Marking the 150th Anniversary of Confederation (University of Regina)

Category: Other Event
Dates: November 4, 2016 - November 4, 2016

Moral Perspectives on Constitutional Reform: Reflections on the November 1981 Constitutional Accord Between Canada and Nine Provinces on its 35th Anniversary. There can be no doubt that moral conceptions of the good and just state are at play in constitutional negotiations, but it is a process conducted by persons in favoured positions pursuing limited interests and ignoring others. The Accord that led to the patriation of the Canadian Constitution in 1982 represents both important national gains and significant losses for valuable perspectives. In this, as in history generally, there is plenty of scope for judging our political past. John Whyte is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Politics and International Studies. He was the Director of Constitutional Law in the Government of Saskatchewan during the Constitutional patriation process and is one of Canada's leading Constitutional scholars. This event is free and all are welcome to attend!

Canada's Arctic Future (University of Regina)

Category: Other Event
Dates: November 4, 2016 - November 4, 2016

Featuring Michael Byers, Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law, University of British Columbia. Canada is the world's second largest country, and 40 percent of it is Arctic. Yet most Canadians know next to nothing about the Arctic, its environment and peoples. As a result, we ignore some immense challenges, and miss some key opportunities. It is time for Canada to turn northwards and become a great Arctic nation. Michael Byers holds the Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at the University of British Columbia. He has been a Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford University, a Professor of Law at Duke University, and a Visiting Professor at the universities of Cape Town, Tel Aviv, Nord (Norway) and Novosibirsk (Russia). Professor Byers is a regular contributor to the Globe and Mail, National Post and Toronto Star. His most recent book, International Law and the Arctic, won the 2013 Donner Prize for the best public policy book in Canada.

Steve Earle & The Dukes 30th Anniversary Of Guitar Town Performed In Its Entirety (Casino Regina)

Category: Live Music
Dates: November 3, 2016 - November 3, 2016

Steve Earle & the Dukes 30th Anniversary of Guitar Town Performed in its Entirety (Casino Regina)

Category: Live Music
Dates: November 3, 2016 - November 3, 2016

Throughout his more than 3—year career, Earle has mined the rich veins of American roots music from country to rock and roll, folk and rockabilly. On his 16 th studio album of his singular career, Terraplane, Earle pays tribute to the blues, influenced by the blues giants he saw growing up in Texas – Lightnin’ Hopkins, Freddy King, Johnny Winter, Jimmie and Steve Ray Vaughan, Canned Heat and Billy Gibbons. Recorded in Nashville by Ray Kennedy and produced by R.S. Field, the new collection is his homage to the music that he calls “the commonest of human experience, perhaps the only thing that we all truly share” and a record he has wanted to make for a long time. Over 11 original tracks, Earle and his band The Dukes traverse various forms of the blues – from the Texas roadhouse blues of opener “Baby Baby Baby (Baby)” to the acoustic country blues of “Aint Nobody’s Daddy Now” and the Chicago blues of “The Usual Time” to the pre-war blues of “Baby’s Just As Mean As Me,” a duet with Eleanor Whitmore. The electrified “King of the Blues” features some scorning guitar playing from guitarist Chris Masterson and on “The Tennessee Kid” Earle sounds like a possessed street preached as he retells the Faustian crossroads legend over a John Lee Hooker-esque boogie

Dreams – The Ultimate Tribute to Fleetwood Mac (Casino Regina)

Category: Live Music
Dates: October 28, 2016 - October 28, 2016

From the music to the costumes, Dreams portrays Fleetwood Mac with incredible authenticity. This is definitely a show you won’t want to miss. Formed in 2005, this group of talented, diverse performers came together with a passion for the music, and a desire to take the 'Tribute Act' genre to another level. When you sit back and reminisce about the 70's & 80's music, one of the top bands to grace the charts was Fleetwood Mac. Even today, 30 plus years later, you can still here their music on the radio stations around the world. It was with that thought in mind that Dreams was born. Together Stevie (Tracy Masson), Lindsey (Mario Parente), Christine (Wendy Gorrie), Mick (Todd McGarvey), John (Ray Doucet), are “The Mac Pac”. The fab five are joined by the talents of Stephen Manning (Rhythm Guitar) and Bob Van Velzen (Keyboards), completing this grand seven piece live production. The cast of Dreams takes great pride being able to replicate the Fleetwood Mac sound so closely that it’s difficult to tell the difference. Get going and get grooving to Dreams!

Mkrtich Tonoyan: Forays in Military Art (University of Regina)

Category: Other Event
Dates: October 17, 2016 - October 17, 2016

Forays in Military Art entails exhibitions by Armenia-based installation artist Mkrtich Tonoyan, whose practice involves activist research in international human rights. It is Station 7 on the larger projects Meet in the Middle: Stations of Migration and Memory Between Art and Film (2014-2017) and the MITM International Symposium (MacKenzie Art Gallery, November 2-5, 2016). MITM is a series of exhibitions on the pressing theme of migration and memory, with a special focus on creating a dialogue between Saskatchewan and Armenia, two relatively isolated geographic areas with shared histories of genocidal trauma. After serving in the Nagorno-Karabakh war, Tonoyan studied at Yerevan's Academy of Fine Arts and became Director of the Armenian Art Centre of Social Studies and President of the AKOS Cultural NGO, working to advance transnational exchange through the power of the arts. Exhibitions include: Camouflage, in which tactical material designed for concealment in battle is sculpturally transformed into an organic mass, memorializing soldiers' trauma in the gallery space. Roll Call, a site-specific work by an Armenian brother-in-arms commemorating fallen Canadian soldiers, as Tonoyan reads the names of 15,000 Canadians killed in historical battles, from conflicts in 1885, World War I and II, to Afghanistan and other peacekeeping missions.

Ziggy Marley (Casino Regina)

Category: Live Music
Dates: October 11, 2016 - October 11, 2016

Throughout the course of his three-decade career and 16 albums, Ziggy has built a music legacy worthy of his legendary family name. With seven GRAMMY Awards and an EMMY to his credit, the humanitarian, singer, songwriter, and producer continually progresses at every turn. Ziggy’s musical history dates back to ten-years old when he would watch his father Bob Marley record in the studio. His eight-album catalog with the Melody Makers encompasses three GRAMMY Awards, countless sold out shows, and anthems including “Look Who’s Dancing,” “Tomorrow People,” and “Conscious Party”. Since making his solo debut in 2003, he received the GRAMMY Award for “Best Reggae Album” in 2006, 2012, and 2015 in addition to the Award for “Best Children’s Album” in 20101 recognizing his first children’s album Family Time. That same year, he released his graphic novel debut, MARIJUANAMAN. In 2012, he launched Ziggy Marley Organics, which quickly became a leader in GMO-free coconut oils and hemp seed snacks. 2013 saw him achieve a Daytime EMMY Award for “I Love You Too” and release a children’s book of the same name.
As he embarks on a world tour in support of Ziggy Marley, he brings his message directly to the people. “Everything happens when it’s meant to happen,” he leaves off. “That’s how my career has been since the beginning. Each project is inspired. There are metaphysical and universal things at work in all of our lives. It’s natural and organic. This album is another one of those moments. The message came to me. It’s here at the right time, and I’m ready to share it.

I Mother Earth with Edwin and The Standstills (Casino Regina)

Category: Live Music
Dates: October 8, 2016 - October 8, 2016

On Friday, June 3, The Phoenix Concert Theatre will play host to the first appearance by I Mother Earth with original vocalist Edwin after more than 18 years. The band will perform their critically acclaimed 3X Platinum album Scenery and Fish in its entirety as well as other fan favourites.
IME certainly has no shortage of concepts or desire to commemorate 20 Years of Scenery and Fish throughout the remainder of 2016. Festival appearances, special releases, and “Evening with” style performances featuring Edwin are all important for the band to pursue throughout the remainder of the year. Scenery and Fish was a benchmark release for IME. The album spawned 4 Top 10 Hits in Canada with “Raspberry”, “Another Sunday”, “Used to be Alright”, and “One More Astronaut”, It also gained traction around the world Cracking the Top 20 on the US Billboard charts and launched the bands touring schedule throughout North America and Europe. Recorded at the Legendary Le Studio in Quebec and Co-Produced by Paul Northfield of RUSH fame, Scenery and Fish is a deep and diverse release that really solidified the lasting relationship with the fans and the band. Yes the success of the singles was great for their growth but the depth of the band on tracks like “Earth Sky and C”, or “Shortcut to Moncton”, or the special appearance by Alex Lifeson of RUSH on “LIKE a GIRL” or even staying true to their own unique heavy dynamic sound with “Pisser” and “Songburst and Delirium” is what deepened the love affair. Now, 20 Years later that feeling can be revisited by both fans and the band.
“We really wanted Edwin involved in revisiting Scenery and Fish this year, and we knew that some of the ideas we had would naturally benefit from having input from the people who were involved in our world at that specific time,” says band co-founder and guitarist Jag Tanna. “I initially reached out to Edwin just to see if he had any interest in being involved in a ‘Making Of...’ documentary. Well, the concept grew and here we are. This is really special for us. We haven’t performed together in 18 years, so this will be fun for the fans that have supported us since the beginning “
