Cécile Doo-Kingué, February 26, Doors at 7:30, $10

December 20, 2012 By Carly Gowan Leave a Comment

Considered one of Montreal’s most electrifying guitarists by local press and groove aficionados, Cécile Doo-Kingué blends blues, soul and afro-folk to create a unique sound. Cécile will be performing at the Creative City Centre on February 26th. Doors open at 7:30 and tickets are only $10!

Born in New York City, first generation from Cameroon, she has lived in France, USA and is now an adopted Montrealer. This meeting of cultures is reflected in the eclecticism of her music. Her bewitching, incomparable fretwork and deep, suave voice are no longer secret to Montreal’s night-owls. Cécile has sizzled and dazzled with Montreal cult bands Dibondoko and Aliens, played or recorded with Montreal Jubilation Choir, Corneille, Bernard Purdie, Tricia Foster, Senaya, CIndy Doire, Ismael Isaac, Lou Simon, Soul City, to name but a few, and has opened for Manu Dibango and Youssou N’Dour. She has also done her share of mixing, including United Steel Workers of Montreal’s albums Broken Trucks and Bottles and Kerosene & Coal, producing and musical directing, including the main show for the XIIe Sommet de la Francophonie. In 2008, Cecile and Gern f. of USWM started Chick Pickin’ Mondays, a night promoting women singer-songwriters.

Five Blue Skies: An Exhibition by Katherine Boyer, October 8 to November 23

August 1, 2012 By Carly Gowan Leave a Comment

Katherine Boyer is a graduate of the University of Regina with a major in Sculpture, with a strong focus in Printmaking. She was born and raised in Regina and continues to live in and enjoy the city. Boyer’s work is a crossover between traditional and non traditional printmaking, sculptural and installation work and has received multiple awards and scholarships including a Saskatchewan Arts Board grant.

This new body of work explores the tenuous relationship between death, memory and location. Exploring Google Map imagery of Grenfell Saskatchewan (a town which holds extreme sentimental value), Boyer uses colour as material for recollection.

The exhibition will be on display in the Hague Gallery from October 8 to November 23, 2012.
