Saturday June 5 at 4 pm and 9:30 pm. Big Rude Jake is back, and you have two chances to catch this sell-out musician. Tickets $10. Reserve 905-543-8512.
Big Rude Jake has a new album and a whole new look on life. Big Rude Jake’s new release, Quicksand, explores contemporary twists on popular music forms from decades ago. Listeners will note a dramatic shift away from the ‘neo-swing’ style that has characterized previous Big Rude Jake recordings in favour of a more general roots-oriented singer/song-writer approach. The overall sound of Quicksand is relaxed and contemplative. http://www.bigrudejake.ca/ Below is video from the concert by Hamilton Blues Lovers site.
Fans of this journeyman performer will remember him as a force to be reckoned with: a noted figure on the Canadian music scene with a presence around the world. An innovator, a deft craftsman of song and a powerful and compelling lyricist, Jake has been knocking audiences dead with his impassioned performances for 20 years.
Jake is focused on presenting the singer-songwriter side of his work. His new material will surely rekindle this country’s love of this powerful singer-songwriter, just as they were first inspired by his raucous antics a decade ago. Perhaps more importantly Jake has returned to his roots.
