Spirit of Rasputin's

Tickets on sale…

Lynn Miles’ latest album, A Bouquet of Black Flowers, comprises 15 original songs, each more beautifully crafted and presented than the last. The album was released on February 26 of this year making the Rasputin’s audience at our March 22 concert among the first to hear and enjoy these newest musical creations mixed, of course, with a selection of Lynn’s favourites from previous recordings.

A Bouquet of Black Flowers is album number five in a longterm series of recordings Lynn began working on in 2008. At that time, she made the decision to record solo, acoustic versions of her entire catalogue of songs. Just Lynn and her guitar. Stripped down. Acoustic. Intimate. That’s quite an audacious musical goal.

When Lynn said ‘all her catalogue’, did she mean all of the 900+ songs she’s written? Whether the answer is all or some, it reveals that in addition to being a great singer-songwriter and performer, Lynn is also a visionary. You have to admire her optimism, the love of her profession and her craft and her commitment to preserving her songs in the form in which they were first created. Clearly, Lynn has an eye for posterity.

Lynn Miles is a fine multi—instrumentalist in her own right but for our concert, she has invited another musician, guitarist Keith Glass, to accompany her. Lynn and Keith have been friends and collaborators for over 25 years. A brilliant musician, songwriter, producer and performer, Keith Glass is perhaps best known as a founding member of the band Prairie Oyster. In that role, Keith is a six time Juno winner. He also leads his own group, Keith Glass Band, whose newest recording is Different World. Lynn and Keith have toured Europe, the US and Canada together several times. They make each other laugh and count each other as good friends.

Such talent! Such fun! Tickets are disappearing quickly and we anticipate a sellout. Secure your seats now and then join us on March 22. You’ll be delighted.
