Jerry Leger & Kyle Sullivan @ TPG, 17-Oct-2018

Wednesday, 17-Oct-2018 / 6/7pm to 9pm

[The Port Grocer, 24-Sep-2018] Join us for Dinner & Song with Jerry Leger & Kyle Sullivan!
Dinner 6 to 9PM – Music 7 to 9PM.

At heart, Canadian singer-songwriter Jerry Leger is driven by a quest to convey in his own manner the purity embedded in the grooves of the vintage rock, country and blues recordings he so dearly loves. This trait attracted support from fellow singer/songwriters like Ron Sexsmith and his staunchest ally, producer and label head Michael Timmins of Cowboy Junkies, who signed Jerry to his label, Latent Recordings in 2013. He has been called “one of Canada’s best” by Exclaim, a “gifted storyteller” by The Toronto Star and “One of the best Canadian songwriters” by Rolling Stone. His latest release, the Polaris longer listed ‘Nonsense and Heartache’ is a 2-record set showcasing the two major musical sides of him. The idea was spearheaded by Timmins with ‘Nonsense’ displaying Leger’s rock ‘n’ roll and bluesy grit while ‘Heartache’ is a more folk-roots-melodic expression.

A dozen theatre troupes from the Central African Republic, Egypt, Mexico, Nepal, Iran,China, Argentina, Wales, Peru, Bangladesh and Liverpool, Nova Scotia, are expected to participate in this year’s festival from Oct. 18 to 21 [2018] at the historic Astor Theatre in Liverpool. The plays cover a wide range of themes and styles, from a Chinese opera and a study of corruption and loss in Mexico to a Moliere classic from one of Bangladesh’s top theatre companies and more personal plays about family, friendship and identity from Nepal, Iran and from Liverpool’s Winds of Change Dramatic Society. (A brief description of each play is included below.)

Andrew Bursey and Jon Paterson, the festival’s artistic directors, unveiled the lineup on Thursday. Jean Robinson-Dexter, chairperson of LITF 2018, says that audiences will be entertained by the eclectic slate of innovative theatre.

“The 2018 festival is going to be a wonderful mix of new troupes representing countries that haven’t been with us before and old friends from troupes that we’re excited to welcome back. All of them will bring exciting pieces of theatre to our stage.”
