Canadian Country Music Week (Edmonton) - Sept 5-8, 2013

Get ready for these Country Music Week events


By Jamie Hall, Edmonton Journal September 3, 2013

EDMONTON - Edmonton is rolling out the “green carpet” for the country music industry and its fans as the city gets set to host the Canadian Country Music Association awards for the sixth time in its 31-year history.

The decidedly country twist on Hollywood’s red-carpet tradition — “green carpet” symbolizes the land — debuted last year when the CCMA awards were held in Saskatoon, to the delight of country fans gathered outside the venue to get a peek at their favourite stars.

Alberta Flood Aid Benefit Concert 2013 - Aug 15


Alberta Flood Aid Benefit Concert 2013 - Aug 15

In June 2013, southern Alberta experienced heavy rainfall that triggered catastrophic flooding described by the provincial government as the worst in Alberta’s history. A total of 27 local states of emergency and dozens of communities were under evacuation orders.

Over 100,000 people were displaced as a result of the flooding and early damage estimates are several billion dollars.

Alberta Flood Aid was established in late June to raise funds for long-term recovery efforts through a benefit concert. The Calgary Foundation then offered to direct donations to The Calgary Foundation Flood Rebuilding Fund to ensure 100% of funds raised go to those most in need.

Ray Manzarek (1939 - 2013) 'Doors' Co-Founder Was 74


Ray Manzarek (1939 - 2013)

Ray Manzarek Dead: 'Doors' Co-Founder Was 74

“While [Jim] Morrison, with his proto-celebrity lifestyle and tragic end, forever will remain the face of The Doors, you could argue Manzarek's keyboard work was every bit as important and helped balance some of the singer's more over-the-top moments.

His creepy organ line on "Light My Fire" adds a weirdo menace to what outwardly is a rock 'n' roll pick-up song. And his after-hours, lounge style on "Riders On the Storm" transforms that song into an epic unlike anything else the band ever did.” 
– The Canadian Press/Huffington Post, May 20 2013
