For the last two years, Aqua Books has filled a void in the Winnipeg music scene, quietly becoming one of the few places where musicians can perform their original jazz compositions. As things change, we’re creating a musical time capsule. This recording will raise money for the new non-profit organization Winnipeg’s Cultural City Hall, and will document the current theatre’s great sound before it goes away. Most importantly, it will showcase some of the great musicians we have in our midst, and all of the interesting things that they’ve been up to.
Come and be part of this historic show.
Tickets for the show will be $20 (admission, plus mp3 download of the album) or $25 (admission, plus CD), and will be available at Aqua Books in advance or at the door. The CD is being produced by Curtis Nowosad, and engineered by acclaimed Winnipeg bassist/drummer/recording engineer Paul Yee, and will be ready in time for Christmas.
This recording will not be possible without your support. We would love to see you out and hear you clapping and hollering on the recording. If you can’t make it, or you’d really like to support the project (including athank you in the CD liner notes), you can pledge to donate at any time in the next month and beyond. An extra donation of $10 makes you a Fan, $20 makes you a Roadie (without having to carry any gear), $50 will turn you into a Promoter, and $100 turns you into one of the Cats. If you’d like to donate to the project, please contact Kelly Hughes at kelly@aquabooks.ca or (204)943-7555; if you have any other inquiries you can contact Curtis Nowosad at curtis.nowosad@gmail.com or (204)294-9694.
