Kim Mitchell @ The KEE to Bala
2019-08-17 21:00 | The Kee to Bala
Canadian rock icon Kim Mitchell sings those lines on his personal mission statement, “Rock N Roll Duty” and he’s still doing exactly that, energy and enthusiasm intact. For Mitchell, that’s what it’s all about, not the money, the fame or the trophy case.
Singer-songwriter and guitarist, Kim Mitchell, has achieved gold and multiplatinum sales status over a long and storied career, starting early on as leader of the musically eclectic Max Webster, a band who in the late 70’s defined “alternative” and “independent” long before the words became clichés. Mitchell has sold over 1.5 million recordings and toured regularly over a lengthy solo career that remains creatively vibrant to this day. Of note, 2014 marks the 30th anniversary of “Akimbo Alogo” (Alert Records), Kim’s first full length solo recording post Max Webster, a record which introduced us to Kim’s big, bold and endemic guitar driven sounds in songs like “Go For Soda” and the anthemic “All We Are”.
Along the way he won three Juno Awards for “Most Promising Male Vocalist of the Year”, “Album of the Year” and “Male Vocalist of the Year”. In the late 70’s and through all of the 80’s Kim toured the largest arenas in the country and today continues to perform at festivals, casinos and Performing Arts Theatres nationally. He is a gifted and peer-respected guitar player as well as an acclaimed songwriter, having penned (in partnership with Pye Dubois) and recorded classic hits like “Go For Soda”, “Rock N Roll Duty”, “Patio Lanterns”, “I am a Wild Party”, “Easy To Tame” and “All We Are”, to name just a few – all songs that have become part of the Canadian musical landscape.
Add several new songs from his most recent solo recording “Ain’t Life Amazing” (including the national rock radio hit of the title track), and audiences are thrilled to find that participating in a Kim Mitchell concert is like being at the live recording of a greatest hits box set which includes his solo hits and often Max Webster gems like “Diamonds Diamonds”, “Oh War”, and “Battlescar”, a hard rock anthem as poignant today as it was three decades ago when it was recorded with his friends Alex, Geddy and Neil of RUSH.
In 2004, while maintaining a busy touring schedule, Mitchell was invited to join the on-air staff at the CORUS flagship station Q107 in Toronto, giving Kim his first ever day-job and one that he has excelled at. During his tenure as host of their afternoon drive show, quickly becoming one of the most popular DJs in the GTA, and the country. July 31, 2015 marks the end of an 11 year journey hosting The Kim Mitchell Show.
Mitchell has the respect of peers, fans, and industry types alike. Just what does he consider his greatest achievement? “Shoot, that’s easy,” says Kim, “it’s in the couple of hours the band is onstage, being able to take people to a special place through our performance and music. When that happens, I’ve accomplished what I set out to do.” Legions of Canadian fans agree!

Jack Hutton & Friends: The Farewell Tour
2019-08-17 19:30 | Gravenhurst Opera House, 295 Muskoka Rd S, Gravenhurst, Ontario, P1P 1J1
Jack Hutton & Friends: The Farewell Tour
Saturday, August 17th
Doors open at 6:30 PM | Show at 7:30 PM
Tickets: $25
They’re back! Jack Hutton & Friends will be playing at the Gravenhurst Opera House this summer after a one year hiatus!
Following in the footsteps of the Rolling Stones, they’re calling this their ‘Farewell Tour’ and they’re looking forward to bringing us the most memorable moments of their shows of the past. The group’s very first Gravenhurst performance on July 26, 2003, may have set an attendance record, filling every seat. The tribute to Walter Donaldson got standing ovations for tunes like ‘Yes Sir, That’s My Baby‘, which they’ve included in this program.
Don’t miss hearing trombone virtuoso Bob Livingston, who toured with the Glenn Miller Orchestra in his teens. Bob, who is currently busy performing and writing arrangements with a sextet, sounds like Tommy Dorsey with ‘I’ll Never Smile Again’ and ‘Getting Sentimental Over You’. Brian Bauer, who mixes the world’s worst jokes with his unmatched mastery of vaudeville saxophone, will show us why he is one of the world’s best. Will Wilson from Niagara-on-the-Lake, will demonstrate why he is one of the few banjo players who has performed with a symphony orchestra. Ric Giorgi, who has led three symphony orchestras in the Toronto area, will again anchor the evening on string bass and perhaps bass saxophone. Band leader, Jack Hutton, who sounds like a mixture of Fats Waller and a ragtime Chopin, will be presiding on the 9-foot Steinway grand.
