Lunch At Allen’s is an extraordinary musical revue by internationally renowned artists, Murray McLauchlan, Cindy Church, Marc Jordan, and Ian Thomas who perform together as a band — the stage show is an intimate and humorous performance by some of Canada’s finest individual performers.

 

Marc Jordan and Ian Thomas’ songs have been recorded by everyone from Rod Stewart to Bette Midler, and Diana Ross to Santana. Murray McLauchlan’s hits have covered Canadian airwaves from coast to coast. Cindy’s voice and songs are well known on the folk festival circuit through her solo work and as a member of Quartette with Sylvia Tyson. Together, it seems as though they’ve been playing for years with an energy and freshness like they’ve just met.

Both hailing from Scottish small towns in Canada, Brenley MacEachern and Lisa MacIsaac have chosen another musical path; one that channels their parent’s vintage record collection that comprised of the likes of Neil Young and Dolly Parton. Madison Violet came to be nearly 10 years ago after a chance meeting at restaurant in Toronto. Since that fateful meeting, the pair have come into a sound of their own, which has been described as both city-folk and Americana

 

Madison Violet were recent recipients of the 2011 Independent Music Awards for Folk/Singer-songwriter “Song” of the year for “The Ransom” and were nominated for the 2011 East Coast Music Awards for “Folk album of the Year.”

 

Madison Violet are relentless with touring and performing for audiences all over the world who continue to swoon over their storytelling and songs.

Mecca Music Presents:
All Neil All Night featuring Kit Johnson

www.allneilallnight.com

 

 

All Neil All Night is a celebration of the music of Neil Young, played by four of Calgary's top 'roots-rockers', Lead vocalist Kit Johnson, Tim (Dutch) Leacock, (Sweet Daddy) Steve Pineo and Ross (The Boss) Watson. The band easily moves from the laid-back acoustic material synonymous with Neil's early years to the 'arena rock' that inspired a generation of grunge rockers. Kit Johnson's eerily familiar voice roots the sound and the musicians re-create the 'ragged glory' of Crazy Horse. And audiences love it!
