May 7: Bring Your Mamma and Let Her Rock at Mother’s Day Concert

On Saturday, May 7, 2011, Confederation Secondary School’s Evolutionary Band will take to the stage for their annual Mother’s Day Concert for the 31st year in a row. The concert will begin at 7 pm in the gym at Confederation Secondary School, 1918 Main Street West in Val Caron. Doors will open at 6 pm. Listen to Q92 for a chance to win tickets.

The evening, hosted by Bigtown Entertainment’s Vic Theriault, will kick off with Eddie Jeanveau, a London musician with a unique sound and a passionate stage presence. A former member of the Evolutionary Band, Eddie’s acoustic style draws on his percussion background. This rhythmic approach defines his music, giving him a distinctive sound.

A singer/songwriter of just a few years, Eddie Jeanveau is quickly demonstrating that he has the ability to reach others in a very profound and infectious way. Eddie is currently working on his debut CD “Believe in you”. He hopes to have it available sometime in 2011.

"Evolutionary’s level of musicianship and technical expertise continues at an all-time high this year," says Music Director Norm McIntosh. "We look forward to another stellar performance by the band and crew as we present our annual tribute to mothers in our community.”

He added: “This group of young people has been invited by Jack Lenz of Lenz Entertainment to record at the Glenn Gould Studio located on the main floor of the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto. This superb recording studio has a reputation of offering superior sound isolation in state-of-the-art recording facilities where acoustics are ideal for classical and jazz recordings. Proceeds from the Mother’s Day Concert will help defray the costs of Evolutionary’s trip to Toronto.”
