Launching Lindsey’s Sleuth Shelf!

Saturday, February 3, 2PM

Lindsey Martin-Penny was a life-long resident of Midland, a very creative person, and a lover of books and fierce promoter of reading and literacy. Not surprisingly, her favourite place in town was the Midland Public Library.

In her memory and with the support of her family, we’re launching Lindsey’s Sleuth Shelf, a comfy corner to enjoy the newest mysteries and detective novels. Join us on Saturday, February 3 at 2pm to celebrate this new collection and share our favourite mysteries and memories. Register for the free reception online or by calling 705-526-4216.

Lindsey died on July 21, 2022 from untreatable Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer. A special research fund in her honour has been established at the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation: www.lindseyslegacyfund.ca

For 46 years or roughly a couple million miles , bluesman, guitarist, singer, song writer, Jack de Keyzer has been hitting the road, rail and air to bring his brand of guitar driven blues across Canada and around the globe. With 12 albums, 2 Junos and 7 Maple Blues Awards under his belt, De Keyzer’s music is steeped in Chicago blues, with a broad range of influences ranging from Detroit’s Motown, Muscle Shoals deep soul , Memphis’ rock and roll, Philadelphia’s funky soul jazz and London, England’s (where de Keyzer was born) blues rock. De Keyzer knows first hand as he has played with many first generation pioneers of these sounds and styles. (Bo Diddley, Otis Rush, Etta James, King Biscuit Boy and Ronnie Hawkins to name a few) His latest recording TRIBUTE (2020) features twelve new original blues, rock and soul songs and is a tribute to all the great influences de Keyzer has been inspired by through the years. See and hear Jack de Keyzer with his incredible blues, rock and soul band on the TRIBUTE tour. A show not to be missed!

This theatrical event weaves together over 300 stunning projections, 20 live songs and fascinating behind-the-scenes stories. Yale-educated musician/storyteller Haley Marie orchestrates these elements as she guides you through the history-making events and heartbreaking moments of the Beatles.

With years of research and musical analysis at her fingertips, Haley Marie delivers a world-class performance about four lads, how they rose to incredible fame, their connection to classical music and how they changed the world forever.

Becoming the Beatles is definitely not a tribute act. It’s a show about four boys: one born during an air raid, one who had to reverse the strings on his guitar to make sense of it, one who stayed up late practicing with tears in his eyes and another who couldn’t read or write until he was eight. It’s also the story of a visionary young producer who was desperate to find his way out of the ‘comedy division’ at Parlophone records.

Haley Marie’s in-depth analysis reveals the re-awakening of a world devastated by war, the genius of oppressed musicians in the Deep South, the unexpected inspiration from the classical greats and the heartbreak from the death of the band’s biggest idol.
