presents its first-ever
student matinee on
Monday afternoon,
June 1. The event is a
performance of “The
River Rolls,” the musi-
cal celebration f the
heritage of Waterloo
Region that premiered
at New Hamburg Live!
in 2012.
The work has gone on
to be recorded, issued
as a CD, made avail-
able in its entirety on
line at www.theriver-
rolls.ca, and performed several times in the region
by the musicians featured on the recording. That
cast of performers will be on stage at Steinmann

519 662-6757).
“The River Rolls” cele-
brates the heritage of
our region, telling the
stories of well-known
historical characters
like Sir Adam Beck,
Barbara Schneider, and
William Lyon
Mackenzie King, as well as lesser-known millers,
merchants and pioneers. The songs touch down in
every area of the region, from New Hamburg and
Baden to Cambridge and Waterloo.
The creation of "The River Rolls" was made pos-
sible through a grant from the Region of Waterloo

was supported by the Waterloo Regional Heritage
Foundation.
Live concerts of "The River Rolls" received sig-
nificant financial support from The Boardwalk
and TLC Whole Life Pet Food.
New Hamburg Live's "TD All Access Student
Pass" program is made possible through a grant
from TD Canada Trust. This program allows all
students to attend every event at New Hamburg
Live! free of charge; it also allowed the Festival to
offer this premier student matinee.
The songs of "The River Rolls" tell accurate his-
torical stories, from the first time hydro came to
Baden, to the life and sad death of a black ex-
slave who settled in Waterloo. But the songs –
with lyrics by Paul Knowles and music by
Charlene Nafziger and Mike Erb – are filled with
humour and rollicking tunes.
This unique concert will entertain students and
adults alike; and teachers will have the full
resources – songs and narrations – of the website
to support further classroom discussion.

encore performance to Festival
New Hamburg Live! welcomes the
award-winning Canadian folk trio, The Good
Lovelies, for their premier perfomance at our
festival. They will be on stage at Steinmann
Church Hall on Tuesday, June 3, at 7:30 p.m.
Funny and upbeat, with just a pinch of
sass, the Good Lovelies‘ textbook three-part
harmonies, constant instrument swapping
and witty stage banter have enlivened the
folk music landscape since they joined forces
in 2006 for their first show at Toronto’s funky
Gladstone Hotel.
The Good Lovelies (Caroline Brooks,Kerri
Ough and Sue Passmore) were friends first
when they decided to take the leap from their
day jobs and head out on the road making
music across Canada.
Their tireless rain or shine outlook and
undeniable mutual respect have helped the
trio weather years of constant touring. With
jaunts to Australia, the UK and the US, the
Good Lovelies’ road-tested tenacity will bring
them further afield than ever before.
Lighthearted songwriting and irresistibly
buoyant dispositions have made them the
darlings of the summer festival circuit,
including spots at the storied Mariposa and
Hillside Festivals and the Montreal Jazz
Festival. They have toured with Stuart
McLean and the Vinyl Cafe and appeared on

coltish spirit of a young Mildred Bailey or Ella
Fitzgerald. There are champagne bubbles in
Pangman's voice as she growls, sighs and
wears her heart on her sleeve. She plays it
straight and she plays for keeps."
A superb song stylist with growing composi-
tional chops, the gifted Toronto scenemaker
has built a loyal fanbase amongst jazz listen-
ers and dancers alike. Alex's dedication to her
music goes far beyond was might be called a
passionate pursuit – it's more like a life-long
obsession which began in her teens upon first
discovering Louis Armstrong and Jack
Teagarden along with amazing singers like
Mildred Bailey, Julia Lee and Maxine
Sullivan. "An exciting new world with this
immense songbook opened up to me."
Alex quickly began delving deeper into the
sophisticated shellac of the 20s and 30s which
eventually led to a connection with guitar
great Jeff Healey. In very short order, Healey
produced her impressive 1999 debut They Say
(Sensation Records) as well as the 2001 fol-
low-up, You Can't Stop Me From Dreaming.
After getting a Songwriter of the Year nom-
ination from the National Jazz Awards for her
tune Melancholy Lullaby for the 2001 film
Torso: The Evelyn Dick Story, Alex received
two more nominations in the Vocalist Of The
Year category, and then a Ken Whiteley num-
ber she sang for the 2003 feature film Falling
Angels won a Genie for Best Original Song.
The blessing of more frequent bookings
would also prove to be a curse. Smoke-filled
venues were definitely not the place for some-
one battling lung disease. Alex's physical con-
dition worsened to the point where a double
lung transplant was deemed essential. A
donor was found in time and the surgery was
a complete success. Alex has roared back to
full strength in a remarkably quick recovery
that's borderline miraculous.

New Hamburg Live! Festival of the Arts enters
new territory in 2014, welcoming top Canadian
comedian “That Canadian Guy” Glen Foster to our
event. Glen performs on Thursday evening, June
5, at 7:30 p.m. at Steinmann Church Hall.
Glen Foster has been one of the busiest comedi-
ans in Canada for nearly thirty years. He didn’t
just work the road, he’s one of the guys who
helped to build it. Glen appeared in his first one
hour comedy special, “That Canadian Guy” in
2000 and, since then, the moniker has stuck.
Many of his fans don’t even know his actual name,
but they do know one thing: “That Canadian Guy”
is one of the funniest comedians anywhere.
Glen’s comedy appeals to those people who
appreciate a more intelligent, but slightly “edgy”
brand of humour. His material is mostly clean and
always clever, topical and timely, reflecting his
own experiences, current events and popular cul-
ture. He’s also not afraid to inject his own politi-
cal and sometimes “politically incorrect” social
commentary from time to time.

Glen recently appeared in
his second one hour
Comedy Network special
and has also performed on
numerous other television
shows including seven
appearances with CBC’s,
“Just for Laughs”, as well
as “The Winnipeg Comedy
Festival", “Halifax Comedy
Festival”, and “The Mike
Bullard Show”. He is a
weekly guest contributor on
the Sun News Network and
he can also be heard fre-
quently on CBC Radio’s
“The Debaters”.
Glen has recently
released his third concert
CD, “Prickly: Live at The
Rose”.
Opening for Glen will be
Chelsea Manders, a
Canadian Comedy Award-
winning musician/writer/
comedian who writes and
performs folk with a satiri-
cal twist. Apart from her
musical talents and angelic
voice, Chelsea has a
warped, wicked wit and
innocent irreverence that
has been described as “sav-
agely funny comedy” (Now
Magazine).
The evening will begin
with a performance by the
New Hamburg Live! Mass
Choir, formed during the
choral workshop held at
4:30 p.m, June 5 at
Steinmann Church; register
at www.newhamburglive.ca.
Also performing at the top

Alison & Laura are a classically trained
duo who present sparkling duets in a variety
of genres. This charismatic combo comprises
soprano Alison Jane Taylor and mezzo-sopra-
no Laura Aylan-Parker. The duo will perform
“classical music sung by classy dames” at St.
George’s Anglican Church, Friday, June 6 at 2
p.m.
Since they began harmonizing in 2010,
they have been striving to select repertoire
that demonstrates their vivacious personali-
ties and highlights their classical roots. This
program features selections from opera, folk
and musical theatre that explore love,
heartache and girlish glee. Purcell's "Sound
the Trumpet" opens the program; the audi-
ence will recognize some well-known Mozart
duets and arias, including the playful
"Sull'aria" and Cherubino's famous aria "Non
so piu," both from The Marriage of Figaro.
Other classical favourites include Delibes'
"Flower Duet" and Offenbach's "Belle Nuit."
Alison & Laura are thrilled to present their
own vocal arrangements of folk classics
"Homeward Bound" and "Danny Boy," as well
as some beloved musical theatre selections,
including "My Favourite Things" from The
Sound of Music and "I Could Have Danced All
Night" from My Fair Lady.

New Hamburg Live! is very pleased to present a unique blend
of talent at our Friday evening performance. We welcome three
iconic Canadian musicians, who have never before shared a stage.
Valdy, Laura Smith, and Al Parrish will bring their best to a
“songwriters’ circle” event,
where the best work of each
of these performers will be
featured. The three will also
support one another instru-
mentally and vocally, and
will have the added talents
of pianist Charlene Nafziger
and guitarist Earl Filsinger
backing their work.
This breath-taking collec-
tion of talent takes the stage
Friday, June 6, at 7:30 p.m.
at Steinmann Church Hall.
Valdy, born Valdemar
Horsdal in Ottawa, Canada
has been part of the fabric of Canadian pop and folk music for over
34 years. A man with a thousand friends, from Newfoundland to

Vancouver Island to Texas to New Zealand, he's a
singer, guitarist and songwriter who catches the
small but telling moments that make up life.
Remembered for Play Me a Rock and Roll Song,
his bitter-sweet memory of finding himself, a
relaxed and amiable story-teller, facing a ram-
bunctious audience at the Aldergrove Rock
Festival circa 1968, Valdy has sold almost half a
million copies of his 13 albums, has two Juno
Awards (Folk Singer of the Year and Folk
Entertainer of the Year), wth a total of seven Juno
nominations and four Gold albums to his credit.
Valdy's recent CDs include "Contenders", a col-
laboration with friend and fellow singer/song-
writer, Gary Fjellgaard, and a solo release, "Viva
Valdy: Live at Last", a two-CD package, one live,
one studio, with a total of 25 tunes, and a lyric
booklet.
Along the way, Valdy has taken his music to a
dozen different countries, from Denmark to
Australia and been an often-invited performer at
the prestigious Kerrville Festival in Texas. His
recent television appearances include Canada AM
and Open Mike with Mike Bullard. Valdy has also
been a panelist on Front Page Challenge, and
played a lead role in an episode of The
Beachcombers original series.
Today, he is based on Salt Spring Island, where
he lives with his wife Kathleen, three dogs and a
large cat.
In Laura Smith's music, real emotions ebb and
flow. Your heart is in her capable hands, and like-
wise, she has entrusted you with hers. As she
sings, her strong, melodious voice waves and
catches, snagging on a scar here and there, surf-
ing on a wonder, staring down a riddle... As you
listen, the two of you go along together; brave and
surfacing; calm and inquisitive. "My work is all
very simple, earth-based," says the Maritime-
based singer/songwriter.
Laura has experienced exhilarating career
highs. Her 1994 album b'tween the earth and my
soul elicited unbounded critical acclaim, enor-
mous airplay, national television appearances and

a demand for live performances.
Born and raised in London, Ontario, Smith’s
public debut performance occurred at Smale's
Place, the coffee house where she worked as a
waitress, when she was invited on stage to sing a
song with the headlining act. She has lived in
Toronto, Cape Breton, and now Halifax. In 1996,
she won two East Coast Music Awards (Female
Artist, Album of the Year) and two Juno nomina-
tions (for Best New Solo Artist and Best Roots and
Traditional Album). In 1995, her song "Shade of
Your Love" was the most played AC song in
Canada. In 1997, she won a Gemini Award for
Best Performance in a Performing Arts Program
or Series.
In May 2003, Laura received an Honorary
Doctorate in Humanities from Mount Saint
Vincent University. She performed the role of
"Marilla" in Anne and Gilbert, the Musical during
the summers of 2005 and 2006.
Al Parrish, formerly of the ground-breaking
group Tanglefoot, grew up in Toronto singing in
church choirs and playing tuba in the high school
band. A friend convinced him to join an after-
school rock band by saying, "You play tuba, you
could play bass." So he did. His musical experi-
ence covers everything from pop, country, blue-
grass, rockabilly, and rock & roll to heavy metal.
In 1989 that repertoire grew to include
folk/roots when Al and three friends created

began playing with the band in
January 1994.
Since the band retired at the
end of 2009, Al has taken up

Maritimes. US and UK tours

You are cordially invited
to celebrate Two Weddings
and a Reunion with Toronto-
based opera company
Essential Opera. Two
Weddings and a Reunion
features two entertaining
short operas (sung in Italian
with projected English
translations), The Deserted
Island by Haydn and The
Night Bell by Donizetti.
Known for their accessible and beautifully-sung
productions, Essential Opera brings the double-
bill to the stage for one performance only on
June 7 at New Hamburg Live! Prepare for
romance, misunderstandings, laughter, and
ridiculous disguises.
Haydn's charming L'isola
disabitata (The Deserted
Island) tells the story of two
sisters abandoned on a
deserted island for years, till
two handsome gentlemen
arrive to rescue them – and
one of them looks very
familiar.Donizetti's hilarious Il
campanello (The Night Bell)
follows a newlywed couple's night of misadven-
tures, as the bride's scheming ex, a selfish moth-
er-in-law, and a frantic servant conspire to keep
them apart. The cast features a talented range of
both new and famil iar faces such as

The Irish Descendants, a huge hit at New
Hamburg Live! in 2011, return to our
Festival to perform wonderful, toe-tapping,
down east music, in concert on Saturday,
June 7, at 7:30 pm at Steinmann Church Hall.
Founder and front man Con O'Brien is joined
by bandmates Dave Panting, Robert Kelly
and Patrick Moran.
Formed in the spring of 1990, The Irish
Descendants have been a mainstay in the
Newfoundland and Canadian music industry
for over two decades. In that time the band
has performed over 4000 shows across North
America and beyond! With the founding mem-
bers all hailing from various outport fishing
communities, the original goal for the group
was to take the music that they all learned
and performed home in their kitchens, to the
festival stages, pubs, and concert halls of their
beloved Newfoundland. In a very short time,

after the release of their first CD Misty
Morning Shore (1991), the first CD ever
released by a Newfoundland band, it was
clear that they were on track to take their
music on a worldwide journey!
The independent success of that first
release was a bright moment for the band.
The Newfoundland public was excited by the
music and it soon sold over 15,000 copies.
That success, led to signing a 5 album inter-
national recording deal with Warner Music
Canada, another first for a band from the
province. This relationship set the seeds for
what has been a whirlwind 21-year career.
The group began touring across Canada with
a vengeance, some years doing close to 300
shows, and began to make their mark in the
mainland markets. The trail they blazed
would make way for a huge wave of successful
bands and artists from the province for many
of the following years!
The band stuck gold on the third recording,
Gypsies and Lovers (1996). With a big Celtic
wave sweeping North America, they were
primed for success, and less than one year
after its release the recording attained certi-
fied Gold status in Canada, and would go on
to sell over 100,000. With that success, came
an East Coast Music Award for entertainers
of the year, and then, a coveted Juno award
for, Best Roots Traditional Group. Attaining
“Juno status” helped to propel the group to
the next level, taking their wares to the inter-
national stage. The band has performed wide-
ly across North America over the years. The
band has released 14 studio recordings.
The music of The Irish Descendants is
steeped in a rich tradition. Con O’Brien is the
oldest member of the 12th generation of his
family living on the Island! The Irish
Descendants are one of the products of this
proud heritage!

TD Bank Group has partnered with New
Hamburg Live! for several years, helping to
fund the program now known as the TD All
Access Student Pass.
The program is exactly what it sounds like
– all students, from elementary school
through university, can attend any New
Hamburg Live! Festival of the Arts event, free
of charge.
This year, with the support of local branch
manager Jon Shilling, TD’s contribution was
increased to $4,000. This will allow the
Festival to continue to provide free admission
to all events, but it also will help to fund two
new Festival features – the June 2 student
matinee performance of “The River Rolls”,
and the June 7 concert in partnership with
Aldaview Services, featuring vibraphone mas-
ter Tom Cummings and his band.
Both of these events are new this year. The
student matinee performance features a cast
of eight musicians, celebrating the heritage of
our region in song and narration. The
Aldaview concert is geared to developmental-
ly challenged adults, their caregivers, families
and friends.
TD All Access Student Passes can be
obtained at the New Hamburg TD, from TLC
Pet Foods, through area schools, and at the
door at Festival events.

A newly commis-
sioned multi-media
work will premier at
New Hamburg Live!
Festival of the Arts in
2015. Entitled “Across
the Senses: A marriage
of visual art and song,”
the piece will celebrate
the artists of Waterloo
Region from its earliest
days until now, in song,
spoken word and visual
images.
Featured will be
visual artists such as
Carl Ahrens, Homer
Watson, Peter Etril Snyder, Matthew Kousal, Nancy
Lou Patterson, Tony Urquhart, Ruth Abernethy and
many others.
The work is being created by the same team of com-
posers and lyricist who produced “The River Rolls”, the
musical celebration of the heritage of Waterloo Region
that premiered at New Hamburg Live! in 2012, and
has been performed several times since, including in a
student matinee at this
year’s Festival. The
music for “Across the
Senses” is being com-
posed by Charlene
Nafziger and Mike Erb;
lyrics are by Paul
Knowles. Many of the
musicians involved in
The River Rolls will
return to play a part in
the new work.
“Across the Senses”
will include 15 songs,
narration, and images of
the work of the featured
artists. Partial funding
for the creation of this new work is being provided by
the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund.
