Red Hot Ramble performs traditional jazz, blues, funk, along with second lines in the spirit of the great city of New Orleans but with a distinctly Canadian flavour!! Music that is as at home in a jazz club as it is a music festival or a wedding and yes, even a funeral! Red Hot Ramble is music about people... their ups and their downs ..their loves and their hates … their blues and their celebrations of life! Guaranteed you won’t be able to sit still when you come to one of our performances … in fact Red Hot Ramble is a much for dancing as it is for listening and singing along too! To borrow an old Louisiana saying, “Come as You Are, Leave Different”, Red Hot Ramble has a well earned reputation for their performances living up to that motto!

CICADA WOODS
11.30
Cicada Woods is a new kind of string quartet pushing the boundaries of the strings sonic universe. It was born when dear musical friends Suhashini Arulanandam (violin), Esme Allen-Creighton (viola), Sybil Shanahan (cello) and Shannon Wojewoda (double bass) spent three magical days by Pine Lake exploring how their instruments could mimic and expand upon the traditional sound world of Argentinian Tango including the bandoneon, piano and guitar. Following this tradition, each instrument is a soloist and virtuoso as well as ensemble musician. Cicada Woods also use their virtuosity to maintain the rich texture of traditional tango ensembles, arranging parts where instruments frequently carry multiple lines and harmonies. Their name was inspired by the tango ‘chicharra’ (Cicada) string technique where the bow scratches along the string windings as well as the forest setting where they made their first arrangements–four wooden instruments reborn from the gestation of classical and tango roots.
