12:00 am

Windsor band ‘What Seas What Shores’ visits Owen Sound on their nation-wide tour promoting their first full-length CD on Saturday, September 6th at Mudtown with opening electronic act ‘Tel Quel’ (pronounced Tell Kell). Doors open at 8 p.m. Cost is $8 plus one non-perishable food item.

‘What Seas What Shores’ music is a sprawling, moody, instrumental blend of reverb drenched electric guitars, heart pounding bass, and head bobbing drums. Their live shows often find them performing along side horn players, glockenspiel, or violin, together in an animated sonic performance. ‘What Seas What Shores’ put on a concert that will leave you swimming in their ocean of sound.

Visit www.theowen.com for more details and ticket info. And, visit ‘What Seas What Shores’ myspace site at www.myspace.com/whatseaswhatshores for video and previews of their CD.

10th anniversary Owen Sound Celtic festival

August 11, 2008

September 13, 2008

From the settling of The “Queens Bush” area, to modern day Owen Sound, one constant remains; the culture and heritage of celts who pioneered Grey Bruce Ontario. 2008 ushers us into our 10th year. Coming into our stride we want to expand our vision of a full arts festival in September, to include some year round events which promote the spoken word, painting, instrumental, vocal and dance arts of the celtic nations. We invite all those interested in perpetuating the continuance of the celtic arts, to come together in a series of smaller events held year round in our lovely Port City of Owen Sound.

Visit the Owen Sound Celtic Society for more details.
