The Sheepdogs<\/p><\/div>\n

Canada\u2019s most famous sheepdogs can be found in Saskatchewan \u2013 but don\u2019t expect to find them herding flocks of sheep around the parkland biome just outside their home in Saskatoon.<\/p>\n

The Sheepdogs can be found at music clubs playing their style of country-influenced rock. They also showed up on the cover of Rolling Stone. On July 31, the Sheepdogs can be found performing live onstage at the World Caf\u00e9 Live (3025 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, 215-222-1400, www.worldcafelive.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Sheepdogs — Ewan Currie \u2013 vocals, songs, guitars, clarinet, drums; Ryan Gullen \u2013 bass, backing vocals; Sam Corbett \u2013 drums, backing vocals; Shamus Currie \u2013 keyboards, trombone; Jimmy Bowskill \u2013 guitars, mandolin, fiddle, banjo, pedal steel \u2013 are currently touring the states in support of their new album \u201cChanging Colours,\u201d which was released on February 2 on Dine Alone Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recorded the new album over the course of six months in Toronto,\u201d said Corbett, during a phone interview Monday afternoon as the band travelled from Boston to a gig in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, we only planned on doing a few sings. But, the recording went well, and we kept going. It was recorded in late 2016 and early 2017.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sheepdogs definitely kept going once they started putting tracks down in the studio. The final edition of \u201cChanging Colours\u201d features 17 songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the songs we recorded were older ones,\u201d said Corbett. \u201cOthers were ones we tried in one style and ended up in a different style. Others were ones we made just as we planned. And, there were some other songs that came out of jams in the studio.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corbett, Gullen and the Currie brothers have been core members of the band since 2006. In November 2015, award-winning blues guitarist\u00a0Jimmy Bowskill<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0Bailieboro<\/a>, Ontario, joined the band in advance of the European leg of their Future Nostalgia Tour, playing guitar and pedal steel. He has been a permanent member ever since.<\/p>\n

The triple Juno Award-winning, Saskatoon-based quintet has long been known for its trademark guitar-driven modern-day retro rock — beef-and-boogie twin-axe riffs, hooks, shuffles and long-haired aesthetic. Now, their sound has some new flavors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our first album with Jimmy,\u201d said Corbett. \u201cHe can play any instrument \u2013 especially country instruments like pedal steel and mandolin. With him in the band, our new album definitely has more of a country influence. In the past, we dabbled with the country influence. This time, we embraced it.<\/p>\n

\u201cJimmy joined in 2015 during our U.S. tour. Our previous guitar player left, and we needed a new guitarist \u2013 STAT. Our guitar tech said that he knew just the guy. He called Jimmy. Jimmy came for the tour and has been with us since then.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bowskill is the only non-native of Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started as a band 14 years ago,\u201d said Corbett. \u201cMe, Ryan and Ewan were students at the University of Saskatchewan. We got tired of being students, so we decided to start a band. Soon, we were touring around Canada \u2013 mostly unsuccessfully.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, success came knocking on their door \u2013 in a most unexpected way.<\/p>\n

In 2011, Rolling Stone held a \u201cChoose the Cover\u201d competition. The Sheepdogs beat 15 other bands to get the contest win. They were featured on the August 18, 2011 cover of\u00a0Rolling Stone and were the first\u00a0unsigned act\u00a0to do so.<\/p>\n

During the competition, the band made appearances on\u00a0Late Night with Jimmy Fallon\u00a0and performed at the\u00a0Bonnaroo Music Festival\u00a0as well The Osheaga Festival in\u00a0Montreal,\u00a0Quebec. Following their win, the band signed with\u00a0Atlantic Records, and recorded a new album \u2013 \u201cThe Sheepdogs\u201d — which was produced by\u00a0The Black Keys\u00a0drummer\u00a0Patrick Carney\u00a0in Nashville.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur manager knew about the competition and entered us without us knowing it,\u201d said Corbett. \u201cInitially, we were just happy to be part of it. Then, we kept advancing \u2013 down to 16, eight, four, two and then we won. Part of being in the final two was playing Bonnaroo and on Jimmy Fallon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had worked harder and been a band longer than any of the other bands in the competition. Winning was definitely a life-changer. Prior to that, if we had 100 in the audience at our shows, we\u2019d be happy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our live shows now, we\u2019re playing eight or nine songs from the new album. The rest of the set list is mostly songs from our last four albums. We\u2019ve played Philly a few times and we\u2019re happy to come back. We\u2019ve always had good shows there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olivia Chaney<\/p><\/div>\n

On August 1, the World Caf\u00e9 Live is hosting a show by highly-acclaimed British singer\/songwriter Olivia Chaney.<\/p>\n

Chaney\u2019s music has its roots in English traditional music \u2013 acts like Fairport Convention, John Renbourn and Sandy Denny \u2013 and also has a lot in common with modern singer\/songwriters such as Joni Mitchell. There are also signs of classical music in its DNA. At the same time, Chaney\u2019s well-crafted songs are totally contemporary.<\/p>\n

All of this is on display throughout the tracks on Chaney\u2019s new album \u201cShelter,\u201d which was just released on Nonesuch Records on June 15.<\/p>\n

Chaney\u00a0is an English\u00a0folk<\/a>\u00a0singer, pianist, guitarist,\u00a0harmonium<\/a>\u00a0player and songwriter. Her debut solo album,\u00a0\u201cThe Longest River,\u201d was released on\u00a0Nonesuch Records<\/a>\u00a0in 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recorded \u2018Shelter\u2019 last winter and wrapped it up by Christmas,\u201d said Chaney, during a phone interview last week while she was travelling from North Carolina to a show in Vienna, Virginia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was pretty quick. I set myself a very strict deadline and was listening to my inner voice. I also worked quickly because of the harsh setting \u2013 in the middle of nowhere in the moors of North Yorkshire.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album was produced by Thomas Bartlett\u00a0(David Byrne, the Magnetic Fields, Sufjan Stevens, The National, St. Vincent, Florence Welch, Father John Misty) and features eight original songs, along with Chaney\u2019s interpretations of Henry Purcell\u2019s \u201cO Solitude\u201d and Frank Harford and Tex Ritter\u2019s \u201cLong Time Gone,\u201d first recorded by the Everly Brothers.<\/p>\n

The songwriting was completed prior to her time in the studio \u2013 in challenging circumstances.<\/p>\n

According to Chaney, \u201cI had been on the road a lot and was struggling with the grit and loneliness of urban life. I think I\u2019d been questioning what home, belonging, a sense of purpose, and my own culture even meant. I\u2019d been craving wilderness and a return to essentials for a long time. Then, while touring in the US, I realized the place I needed was already in my life. It was ancient, barely habitable, and remote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThus, a crumbling 18th-century cottage in the austere but magical hills of the North Yorkshire Moors — a family retreat since my teens, with no electricity or plumbing, where the only water comes from a spring — became the home for my work on\u00a0\u2018Shelter.\u2019 We brought out an Arts and Crafts Bechstein piano and an old wood burner to the house; and as summer\u2019s end turned to autumn\u2019s shorter, colder days, the room with the upright and stove fueled my stay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chaney knew that this would be the perfect locale.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went there because the landscape is wonderful,\u201d said Chaney, who has also sung with the Decemberists. \u201cIt\u2019s one of my favorite places. It\u2019s very remote. I was craving some solitude from all the noise of modern life.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, it was very challenging there. I think I expected more solace from the landscape and the peacefulness of being alone. I wanted to go in summer, but it took longer than expected to find an old piano. So, it was autumn when I got there, and it quickly got cold and rainy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no electricity, no running water, no bathroom. It gave me the focus I was craving. It was all right there in this ruined house in the moors of North Yorkshire National park. I wrote on guitar and piano and scribbled down things with pen and paper.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 14, Chaney won a joint-first piano and voice scholarship to\u00a0Chetham’s School of Music\u00a0in\u00a0Manchester, which was focused on the classical repertoire. She then went on to attend the\u00a0Royal Academy of Music\u00a0in\u00a0London, also on scholarship, where, as an improviser and songwriter, she studied in the\u00a0jazz\u00a0course. While at the Academy, Chaney spent much of her time experimenting and collaborating outside the traditional jazz course.<\/p>\n

Chaney graduated from England\u2019s Royal Academy of Music and then taught herself guitar and Indian harmonium — delving back to the inspiration behind the British folk revivalists. She has since built a loyal and growing following as a songwriter and interpreter, both in the U.K. and internationally, through her acclaimed and eclectic live performances and much-lauded recorded works.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy classical training has affected me hugely,\u201d said Chaney. \u201cI left home at 14 to study classical music in Manchester. My classical training is a big part of my music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thomas Dolby<\/p><\/div>\n

Thomas Dolby first began building a fanbase for his music during the heyday of MTV and music videos back in the 1980s with hits such as \u201cShe Blinded Me with Science,\u201d \u201cWindpower\u201d and \u201cHyperactive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dolby, who will headline a show on August 1 at the Sellersville Theater (24 West Temple Avenue, Sellersville, 215-257-5808,\u00a0www.st94.com<\/a>), released four albums from 1982-1992 — The Golden Age of Wireless\u201d (1982), \u201cThe Flat Earth\u201d (1984), \u201cAliens Ate My Buick\u201d (1988) and \u201cAstronauts & Heretics\u201d (1992).<\/p>\n

His next \u2013 and most recent \u2013 album was \u201cA Map of the Floating City\u201d in 2011.<\/p>\n

Dolby may not have been releasing albums on his own, but he stayed active in the music world. The lengthy list of artists with whom he has recorded or performed includes David Bowie, Jerry Garcia, Ofra Haza, Joni Mitchell, Devo, Bob Weir, Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder, Foreigner, Herbie Hancock, Imogen Heap, George Clinton and Eddie Van Halen.<\/p>\n

He also has composed numerous scores for films and video games, acted in a movie and filmed a documentary called \u201cThe Invisible Lighthouse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dolby has also become a college professor \u2013 at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been living in Baltimore for the last four years,\u201d said Dolby, during a phone interview last week from tour stop in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had come across a posting that Johns Hopkins was looking for a part-time professor. When I spoke to the people at the university, they said they had something better for me \u2013 that they were launching a special film and music school.<\/p>\n

\u201cI helped launch it and build a recording studio. For three years, I taught a film and TV music composition class. Then, I moved to Peabody.\u201d<\/p>\n

In March 2014, Dolby was named Homewood Professor of the Arts at Johns Hopkins University. In March 2017, The Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins announced Dolby would lead a new four-year undergrad degree program — Music for New Media.<\/p>\n

Now, Dolby is visiting select U.S. cities with a show titled\u00a0\u201cAn Evening of Music and Storytelling with Thomas Dolby.\u201d The tour coincides with the July release of his two-CD greatest hits collection\u00a0\u201cHyperactive,\u201d which was released on July 27 as part of\u00a0BMG\u2019s\u00a0Masters Collection\u00a0series.<\/p>\n

In this intimate solo performance, Dolby allows members of the audience to randomly pick songs from his 30-year catalog. He will tell the story behind the genesis of each, while simultaneously deconstructing its musical parts, synth sounds, and lyrics. The resulting music will be output from his laptop and keyboards, and projected on a screen behind him, along with personal photos and memorabilia. Each performance will therefore be a slightly different audiovisual experience, with surprises each night.<\/p>\n

Fans at his shows will get to experience Dolby the musician and Dolby the professor.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully, the shows are not too didactic,\u201d said Dolby. \u201cAnd, no grades are involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are interested in how the songs are constructed and their meanings. I can pick songs to pieces, look at chord sequences, rebuild the songs and the audience can see on a screen what I\u2019m doing on my laptop. I also have archive footage including old photos in slide shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of my hardcore fans have seen me a number of times and have heard me play all the songs. My audience is willing to roll with the punches. I\u2019ve been involved in lot of idioms and I find it very interesting to show the settings of the songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been a resurgence of interest in the music of the 80s. Still, you have to set the balance of old stuff and new material.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn these shows, my fans select the songs \u2013 I won\u2019t say how I do it. So, it\u2019s different every night. The set list is never the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those unable to make it to the show in Sellersville \u2013 or fans who want to hear several versions of the show, the veteran musician\/professor will be presenting \u201cAn Evening of Music and Storytelling With Thomas Dolby\u201d on August 6 in Atlantic City at the Dante Hall Theater (14 North Mississippi Avenue, Atlantic City, 609-626-3890, www.dantehallstockton.org<\/a>) and on August 8 in Baltimore at Center Stage (700 North Calvert Street, Baltimore, Maryland, 410-332-0033, www.centerstage.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The show at the Sellersville Theater on August 1 will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $29.50 and $40.<\/p>\n

Jake Shimabukuro<\/p><\/div>\n

Two years ago, Hawaii native Jake Shimabukuro just released his \u201cbest of\u201d live collection album — \u201cLive in Japan\u201d \u2013 and visited Chester County for a concert at the Colonial Theatre.<\/p>\n

Shimabukuro also released another album in 2016 \u2013 \u201cNashville Sessions.\u201d Still touring in support of that album, Shimabukuro returns to the area for a show on August 1 at The Queen (500 North Market Street, Wilmington, 202-730-3331, www.thequeenwilmington.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Nashville Sessions\u2019 came out right after we released \u2018Live in Japan,\u2019\u201d said Shimabukuro, during a phone interview Friday as he travelled through New Hampshire on his way to a show in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a new album coming out on August 31. It\u2019s the same band — Nolan Verner, who is a great bass player, and drummer Evan Hutchings. The cool thing with this record is that we had time to come up with arrangements. We were playing the songs live long before we recorded them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recorded all the tracks as a trio and then added other elements. We added strings \u2013 cello and violin \u2013 and also added organ and horns. And, I got a lot of cool sounds with the ukulele. During the sessions, we also had Jerry Douglass play dobro on three tracks. We did half originals and half covers. It was a good range of stuff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a Jimi Hendrix track \u2013 \u2018If 6 was 9\u2019 \u2013 that we did with a section of \u2018Little Win.\u2019 We did the Zombies\u2019 \u2018Time of the Season,\u2019 the Beatles\u2019 \u2018Elanor Rigby,\u2019 New Order\u2019s \u2018Bizarre Love Triangle,\u2019 and Leonard Cohen\u2019s \u2018Hallelujah.\u2019 We had a great time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wide range of material demonstrates Shimabukuro\u2019s sense of adventure — and his musical talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always like trying new things,\u201d said Shimabukuro. I\u2019ve never been afraid of trying something new. I always want to be a little different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accompanying Shimabukuro on tour will be Verner\u00a0and guitarist\u00a0Dave Preston. The three of them have come together to create an experience unlike past show. They will perform songs from Shimabukuro\u2019s past albums, his soon-to-be-released disc and the expansive \u201cLive in Japan\u201d album.<\/p>\n

\u201cLive in Japan,\u201d a two-CD collection, features some of Shimabukuro\u2019s favorite songs from his 15-year career. The album includes a 10-minute classic reworking of the late George Harrison\u2019s \u201cWhile My Guitar Gently Weeps,\u201d which currently has over 20 million views on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Recorded in Japan during his 2015 world tour, the collection begins with a nine-minute medley including the War classic \u201cLow Rider,\u201d and performances of \u201cDragon,\u201d \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d and \u201cBlue Roses Falling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shimabukuro is a ukulele virtuoso and composer whose music focuses on his complex and ultra-fast finger work. His music is an impressive blend of jazz, blues, funk, rock, bluegrass, classical, folk, and flamenco.
\nShimabukuro has written numerous original compositions, including the entire soundtracks to two Japanese films — \u201cHula Girls\u201d in 2007 and the Japanese remake of \u201cSideways\u201d in 2009.<\/p>\n

Shimabukuro began his music career in the mid-1990\u2019s, performing at local coffee shops as a sideman with his first band, Pure Heart. His solo career began in 2002 when he signed with Epic Records, becoming the first ukulele player to sign with Sony Music.<\/p>\n

In the years since the YouTube clip of \u201cWhile My Guitar Gently Weeps,\u201d aired, Shimabukuro has collaborated with an array of artists that include Yo-Yo Ma, Jimmy Buffett, Bette Midler, Cyndi Lauper, Jack Johnson, Ziggy Marley, Dave Koz, Michael McDonald, Bela Fleck and The Flecktones, Tommy Emmanuel, and Lyle Lovett.<\/p>\n

He sold out world-class venues, played at Bonnaroo, SXSW, the Playboy Jazz Festival, Fuji Rock Festival, the influential TED conference, and even performed for Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety Performance in Blackpool, England.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy early influences were Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix,\u201d said Shimabukuro. \u201cSome of my songs have a jam band\/Jerry Garcia feel. Some are more eclectic with a Jeff Beck approach. Some are more aggressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a different side of the ukulele. I played it for some people and they said \u2014 this is a ukulele?\u00a0 It\u2019s not a guitar but it definitely doesn\u2019t sound like the old traditional ukulele.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Grateful Dead fan and you live in or near a major city \u2013 or in a big university town \u2013 you\u2019re in luck because you usually never have to wait more than a few weeks for another Dead tribute show to hit a local stage.<\/p>\n

Live Dead & Riders ’69<\/p><\/div>\n

On August 1, The Foundry at Fillmore Philadelphia (1100 Canal Street, Philadelphia, 215-309-0150, www.thefillmorephilly.com<\/a>) will present a show by Live Dead & Riders ’69.<\/p>\n

Live Dead & Riders ’69 is an all-star group that performs the classic Grateful Dead album \u201cLive Dead\u201d (recorded in 1969) in its entirety. The band is comprised of original Grateful Dead pianist Tom Constanten, who played all the keyboards on the original \u201cLive Dead\u201d recording, and Mark Karan, lead guitarist with Bob Weir\u2019s RatDog and The Other Ones, which featured every other surviving Grateful Dead member.<\/p>\n

Live Dead & Riders \u201969 focuses on music from 1969-70, the Dead\u2019s pivotal era, when they went from pure psychedelia into the\u00a0\u201cWorkingman\u2019s Dead\u201d and \u201cAmerican Beauty\u201d\u00a0era that added country and folk tunes to the mix.\u00a0\u00a0The show will include a set of material from the cosmic cowboy New Riders of the Purple Sage\u2019s repertoire, featuring long-time Rider Mike Falzarano, and then pure Grateful Dead, featuring Mark Karan (Bob Weir\u2019s Rat Dog) and Slick Aguilar (David Crosby, Jefferson Starship).<\/p>\n

This tour will reach into 1970, when the Dead began \u201cAn Evening with the Grateful Dead\u201d concerts that included their spinoff band, the New Riders of the Purple Sage. The show will open with the band as New Riders, including Mike Falzarano, a member of the Riders for the past decade and more.<\/p>\n

The band lists Michael Gaiman as a team member. Gaiman is a former agent for the Grateful Dead as well as an internationally-acclaimed show producer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe looked at Michael Gaiman and the way he put together Jazz Is Dead,\u201d said Karan, during a recent phone interview from his home in Fairfax, California.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has the touch for cool ideas about tributes to scenes without being just a cover band. We built this band using myself, Tom Constanten and Slick Aguilar.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe put this band together around the songs of the Grateful Dead. Sometimes, it sounds like the Dead and other times not that much.\u201d<\/p>\n

It fits because there were times when the Grateful Dead sounded like the Dead and other times not that much.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first run took material from \u2018Live Dead \u201969\u2019 and did that material as interpreted by us,\u201d said Karan. \u201cWhen we realized it might have legs, we knew we had to do more. We needed more than eight songs to flesh out the show. We added stuff from \u2018Euro \u201972.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cMy taste runs more to the earlier Dead. I\u2019m a little older than some of the others. I probably went to my first Dead show in 1966. By 1976, I had been listening to them for 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in the first post-Dead band \u2013 the Other Ones with Phil (Lesh), Bobby (Weir) and Steve (Kimock). I also played in Rat Dog from 1998-2014. My guitar playing s influenced by Jerry Garcia but also by other guitar players. This band is for people that are open to the idea of re-interpretation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe spirit of the Dead was to always find new ways of playing. Now, there is a 50-year history of material that people want to hear played live. Our audience is clearly a jam band audience \u2013 people familiar with the Dead. It\u2019s definitely a Grateful Dead audience.\u201d<\/p>\n
