Sarah Cale into shards, crude stars
Curated by Crystal Mowry
Artist Talk: Friday, June 19, 7 - 8 pm.

Coming Up At The Centre In The Square
Award-winning guitar phenomenon Jesse Cook brings his One World Tour 2015 to Kitchener's Centre in the Square in support of his 9th studio album (to be released in April 2015).
It is a testament to the global reach of his music that it was used by not just Canadian skater Gabrielle Daleman, but also Russian pairs Stolbova and Klimov at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Both were probably hoping to duplicate the success that 2006 Olympic Bronze Medallist Irena Slutskaya had when skating to Jesse's "Mario Takes a Walk." You may have also noticed Jesse's music popping up regularly in those endless re-runs of Sex & The City. Mon, May 11, 2015 at 8 pm Buy Now |
