Glengarry Pioneer Museum launching its new direction
Country concert at Playhouse The Journal jcornwall@eap.on.ca The Upper Canada Playhouse is gearing up for its popular live spring country con- cert. This season audiences will be treated to Wichita Lineman starring Playhouse fa- vourite, singer and fiddler Aaron Solomon and co-starring another popular Playhouse singing sensation, Leisa Way, both seen in the past hit concerts Country Jukebox, Pat- sy Cline and Dolly Parton. The concert highlights the music of Glen Campbell. But that’s just the beginning. Like all of its past country concerts, this show will give audiences a whole lot more, with a variety of hit songs from many of their fa- vourite country legends. “The interesting thing about both Aaron Solomon and Glen Campbell is that they both have the facility to sound just like the stars whose sings they’re singing,” said Ar- tistic Director Donnie Bowes. “And because Campbell worked with so many popular artists, audiences are going to enjoy a really great mix of music from a whole variety of singers as well.” Solomon andWay, together with the five- piece Wayward Wind Band, will light up the stage and keep folks’ feet tapping for an en- tertaining night of fabulous music. The list of great artists and their mu- sic featured in the show goes on and on, from Campbell’s hits Rhinestone Cowboy, Gentle on My Mind, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Galveston, Southern Nights, Try a Little Kindness and It’s Only Make Believe, to a great five-song Beach Boys medley with such tunes as Surfin’ USA and Help Me Rhonda. Also there will be a Bobbie Gentry med- ley featuring such hits as All I Have to Do is Dream by the Everly Brothers, a Tanya Tucker medley featuring Bobby Darin’s ,Dream Lover, a Paul McCartney classic Mull of Kintyre and the Roger Miller comic hits Dang Me and King of The Road. “And that’s just some of the variety of hits in the first half of the show,” added Bowes. ‘The second act is loaded with tons more and will also showcase Aaron’s famous fid- dle and guitar talents that our audience has come to enjoy.’ Solomon brings to life Johnny Cash’s Fol- som Prison and will also join Way in a great Anne Murray Medley including the hits Snowbird and the Bob Dylan tune, Ain’t No Use in Wonderin’Why, Babe among others. Solomon and guitarist Kim Ratcliffe will also thrill audiences with a dueling-guitar version of The William Tell Overture. Wichita Lineman runs at Upper Canada Playhouse April 23 through May 5 with shows at 2 p.m. at 8 p.m. For tickets, call 543-3713/1-877-550-3650 or go to the Play- house website at www.uppercanadaplay- house.com.
