Friday April 6th 8pmDiamond Joe White

with Nathan Tinkhamin concert

For 25 years Diamond Joe White has been the rough-hewn poet laureate of the oilrigs and rodeos of Southern Alberta. With a voice as gruff as campfire coffee and

the heartfelt language of a cowboy poet, Diamond Joe dishes out a beguiling

serving of earthy Canadiana: prairie gospel, blue collar stomp-alongs, poignantballads. Whether singing about Louis Riel or reciting one of his spoken word

poems, this larger-than-life western Artist delivers the goods his unpasturizedtales from the prairie and coastal heartlands are a welcome antidote to the big hair

and bombast of Nashvilles New Country.$25 door $20 advance
