MUSIC PREVIEW: Godsmack, Tea Party, Sweater Kittens!
Posted on May 1, 2019 By Michael Senchuk Entertainment, Front Slider, Music
Godsmack is smack dab in the middle of a North American tour that lands Friday night at Rogers Place. The Massachusetts quartet, founded in 1995, has found their sound labelled a few different things – certainly in the metal category, but they’ve also been described as nu-metal, post-grunge, and alt-metal. Whatever you call them, they […]
REVIEW: Banned in Iran, Nassim an experimental trip at the Citadel
Posted on May 1, 2019 By Colin MacLean Entertainment, Front Slider, Theatre
Nassim Soleimanpour is something of a world-wide theatrical phenomenon. The Iranian playwright now has several international hits to his credit. Alas, his own country has never seen his work – he’s banned back home. His latest play, simply titled Nassim, has played in many venues including both the West End and Off-Broadway – where it […]
Oprah returns to Edmonton in June
Posted on April 30, 2019 By Mike Ross Entertainment, Front Slider, Lit
The last time Oprah Winfrey was in Edmonton someone gave her a “truck nuts” purse as a gift when she came on the stage. For those who don’t know: Truck nuts are known to locals as a decorative item you hang on your trailer hitch to resemble testicles. It’s a thing. Oprah, meanwhile, is one […]

THE TEMPEST: Shakespeare all shook up at the Citadel
Posted on April 26, 2019 By Colin MacLean Entertainment, Front Slider, news, Theatre
Citadel Artistic Director Daryl Cloran promised us a “Reimagine Season” this year – and has largely validated that mandate. He is closing his year with an elemental, uncompromising, inventive staging of Shakespeare’s last great play, The Tempest – performed by hearing and deaf actors in both English and American Sign Language. It certainly demonstrates how […]

Posted on April 25, 2019 By Mike Ross Entertainment, Front Slider, Music
EXCLUSIVE Hear new music from local ‘post glam dirt pop’ duo Kevin Maimann’s been going hard for years – as a journalist, currently a hard-nosed news reporter for The Star Edmonton (and formerly Edmonton Sun, plus GigCity) – and by night a prolific rock musician.

Dweezil Zappa to play Zappa in Edmonton
Posted on April 23, 2019 By Mike Ross Entertainment, Front Slider, Music
The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree, as they say. The closest we will get to seeing Frank Zappa now is through his equally eccentric and talented son Dweezil, who has been proudly carrying the torch of his father’s music and unique worldview for years, with a quirky style evident in his own work, […]
