Concert & CD Release Songs from The (Post) Mistress by Tomson Highway Featuring Patricia Cano
His 5-Song EP, titled Lone Warrior, is produced by Merilainen Music and is expected to have a release in the spring of 2015.
Celebrate this spectacular evening with host Tantoo Cardinal honouring the creative brilliance of performer, playwright, composer and novelist, Tomson Highway.
Performing Songs from The (Post) Mistress, a collection of stories of a resident post mistress through lyrics and music, Highway will be joined on stage by the incomparable songstress Patricia Cano and musicians David Restivo (piano), Ted Quinlan (guitar) George Koller (bass), Daniel Barnes (drums), Jeremy Ledbetter (harmonica), Gord Sheard (accordion) and Marcus Ali (saxophone & clarinet).
Canada’s leading Aboriginal playwright, Tomson Highway, returns with a musical tour d’ force! Based on his latest theatrical masterpiece, The (Post) Mistress, this CD releases 11 unique musical pieces weaving stories with a soundtrack like no other. Produced by Luisito Orbegoso at George Seara Sound, this cabaret-style evening is set in the not-so-distant past, when sending letters through the mail was still vital to communication. The (Post) Mistress knows her clients so well and through songs she shares stories of love within pieces ranging from Berlin cabaret to French café chanson to Dixieland jazz to smooth bossa nova styles in a multilingual French, Cree and English libretto. This musical celebration features the finest of Toronto’s musicians with the powerful vocal performance of Patricia Cano. This is a one of a kind evening you won’t forget.
