This is a huge week for live music in Lethbridge.
The biggest show of the week is the Sleeping With Tuesday CD release party at the Blarney Stone, June 25. Sleeping With Tuesday will be playing as well as Shawna Romolliwa, Jesse and the Dandelions, the Necessities and Smokestack Jacks. Tickets cost $10 including the new Sleeping With Tuesday CD ‘Shuffle,’ as well as a copy of their debut CD.
“It’s 11 tracks, but they’re all different. It’s called ‘Shuffle,’ because it’s like pressing the shuffle button on you iPod,” said bassist Dino Scavo.
“There is a lot of different influences on it. Diverse is a good way to describe it. There are a two solo acoustic numbers as well as some reggae and blues and pop,” he continued adding he is looking forward to the party.
And spending the past two years playing with Sleeping with Tuesday frontman Johnpaul Smith has been a highlight of his career.
“It’s the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. It’s been a lot of work, but a lot of fun,” he continued.
Hank Pine and Lily Fawn will open another very cool show, June 26 — the grand opening of the Owl Acoustic Lounge. Hank and Lily will be performing an acoustic set beginning at 7 p.m. Admission is free, but to get a guaranteed seat ticket, stop by the Lounge in the old O’Rileys/Mood/Squeaky’s Pub building this week.
Hannah Georges has rescheduled her show as well for June 26 at the Slice. She canceled due to vehicle troubles last month. Amy Bronson will be opening the show.
