ON STAGE AT MEAFORD HALL
Ashley MacIsaac (Indie/rock/classical)
August 4, 2010
Times:8:00pm - 10:00pm
When Ashley MacIsaac burst on the worldwide scene with 1995's Hi, How Are You Today? (A&M) he scored the kind of coup instrumental artists often dream of. Going triple-platinum in Canada and breaking down radio barriers with the Gaelic single "Sleepy Maggie," Ashley became an immediate pop icon, rebellious and exuberant, resplendent in kilts, army boots and combat pants. Copping from rockers' sensibilities, Ashley made an aesthetic of it onstage, effortlessly blending his Celtic heritage with contemporary elements such as punk, electronica, hip-hop and grunge. Audiences who may have felt alienated by Ashley's disregard of convention were instantly won over by his dazzling displays of grit, passion and authority. Recalls Ashley at the time, "My father once told me, "If you want to play the fiddle, get mad at it or don't play it at all.""
Pat Robitaille opens for Ashley. For an artist at the start of a career, Pat Robitaille's hard-earned years of songwriting and touring already shine through with a comfortable attitude on and off stage. This isn't a musician by trade, this is someone who makes music because they have to. He's born and bred in Windsor, Ontario, the city of roses and the automotive capitol of Canada. His neighbours across the river in Detroit, Michigan paved the way for what is rock and soul music today. Pat's brand of music doesn't quite showcase the sound of Motown Detroit, but it's got the soul and spirit to measure up. http://www.myspace.com/patrobitaille

And it's sweet Little Red Riding Hood herself who has the ace up her sleeve or, to be frank the pistol in her knickers.
