Once you know, you know. Once you see a Rich Aucoin show, your mind is blown. The colours, the energy, the quirky videos, Rich’s magic lightbulb, the joy… awesome. For me it was seeing him open for K-OS at The Opera House in 2013. Just wow.

Daniel Lanois, multi-Grammy award winning producer and talented musician, played The Horseshoe on Friday May 1st. He played standing with guitar, seated at his pedal steel guitar, and standing working his mojo at a soundboard, the latter especially for songs off his latest CD, Flesh and Machine.
