"High Class" Release Party

“My book on Max Webster called “High Class” is due for release in June 2023. It’s a full colour 400-page coffee table book telling the band’s story like never before, containing new interviews with most of the band members and hundreds of previously unseen photos ranging from the pre-Max days in the 1960s to their final reunion in 2007.
You can purchase your copy of the book or the very limited edition box set (there are under 30 copies left!) at highclassmax.com.
The release party will be at Revival on Tuesday June 20 from 6-10pm. All are welcome (particularly those who purchased a copy during my Indiegogo campaign).
Several of the band members will be present, and I’ll be signing every copy – including those sold in my crowdfunding campaign which buyers are welcome to pick up ! I will then be doing a Q&A with legendary radio personality David Marsden, followed by a film screening of previously unseen vintage footage of Max Webster. And there will be a guitar and mic at the ready in case anyone should feel inspired to play.
This is a once in a lifetime event. I cannot wait to unleash this thing onto the world!”
— Sincerely, Kim Mitchell

Mark Kelso Presents: Elvis Goes Jazz
2023-06-11 20:00 - 22:30 | Revival Event Venue, 783 College Street, Toronto, Ontario, M6G 1C5, Canada
Mark Kelso: JUNO award winning drummer, singer, producer, composer, arranger and creator of the “Elvis Goes Jazz”project describes it thus:
“In February of 2022, Oliver Vadas (Organizer of the West End Jazz Festival) contacted me
regarding playing drums for a project of classic Elvis Presley tunes done in a jazz format. Being an Elvis fan myself, I was intrigued by this possibility. The original arranger had to suddenly remove himself from the project due to a family emergency, so I ended up taking on the arranging duties myself. For the first performance I was able to put together 18 classic Elvis tunes, spanning the 1950’s to the 1970’s, using the big band styles of Frank Sinatra, some New Orleans grooves, and Afro-Cuban rhythms. What an interesting mix! For me, the main focus was to change the songs in a way that would make them interesting to a jazz listener (and the musicians playing) but without being disrespectful to the original songs and melodies. All and all, with these fabulous players, I think we have succeeded in doing just that!”
The “Elvis Goes Jazz” project features an absolutely top-shelf line up of Canadian jazz veterans including:
Mark Kelso (drums, leader, arranger): Originally hailing from Belfast, Northern Ireland, Canadian drummer Mark Kelso has made Toronto, Canada his home for quite some time.

Mark has been Artistic Director for the Jazz Room in Waterloo since 2016 and was the head of percussion at Humber College from 2005-2021. Mark’s ability to play a wide variety of musical styles has helped him become one of Canada’s most sought after drummers.
David Statham (lead vocals) is a multi-dimensional vocalist who has been on the scene for many yearsplaying all types of music. Mostly known for jazz, he has handled the male vocals for 18- piece band Swing Shift for over 25 years as well as drums and vocals for rock and country bands.

Miguel Migs
2023-06-10 22:00 - 2023-06-11 03:00 | Revival Event Venue, 783 College Street, Toronto, Ontario, M6G 1C5, Canada
Miguel Migs grew up in Northern California on his parent’s diverse collection of classic rock, blues, funk, soul and reggae records – which helped set the tone for his musical inspirations. He infuses these creative influences into his own sound, which combines this wide range of styles, blending them together into his own unique artistry.
Migs emerged from the 90’s deep house underground scene to become the kind of artist who transcends the stylistic limitations of a genre so very few can. His musical journey began after picking up a guitar in his early teenage years and his first outlet was writing songs and playing in Dub/Reggae bands. Although Migs always loved and listened to all different styles of music, in the early 90’s he connected to the soulful sounds of Deep House.
By the mid ’90s he began experimenting with producing electronic dance music. And by the time the new millennium dawned, a string of releases and remixes on numerous leading indie dance labels earned him an enviable reputation among discerning dance music fans worldwide. As Petalpusher, he’d also become a stalwart of the hugely influential Naked Music stable with his original productions, remixes and compilations.

Gumbo massive! This winter was starting to feel like it would never end but we’re happy to be cooking again and serving up three courses of sonic Afro-goodness for summer ‘23. First up:
We’re kicking off the series at Revival. Our guest DJ is Houston’s own Tay Powers whose viral Amapiano R&B remixes has the internets in a chokehold. She will be joined by Gumbo resident Revy B , Blackeys and Sudaneeya for a simmering hot Afro throw down on the main floor of Revival.
Arrive early to catch a new DJ showcase that we’re serving up in the Stone Lounge basement of Revival called Taste. It’s an expanded palette of the Gumbo mix for curious music connoisseurs of good taste. Come to Shazam new sounds or dive deeper into sub genres.
About Gumbo
Founded by Wan (@waninspades) and Chi (of @Supafrik), Gumbo is a reflection of their multicultural roots in West Africa and the West Indies. It is an art-infused dance party celebrating African and Caribbean culture through music, dance, video projections, photography and space design. 2022 marks 7 years since Gumbo was founded in Toronto during Caribana. Gumbo has since gone on the road connecting the African diaspora from Montreal to New Orleans to Brooklyn where they collaborated with Afropunk. Musically centered in Afrobeats, their musical palette also draws from everything from Soca to Dancehall/Reggae and from Amapiano to Afrohouse and New Orleans Bounce. Pulling from guest DJs like Boddhi Satva, Anais B, NaijaBoi (Mr.Eazi) and Nana Kwabena (Jidenna) they bring the raw energy and creativity of carnival culture into the Gumbo discotek connecting the Afro-diaspora through music.

They will be joined by special guest pianist on tour from Argentina, Ariel Pirotti. Bring your dancing shoes to enjoy a post-concert milonga.
Written and recorded during the pandemic, DISTANCIA takes you on a journey through despair to the hope that kept us going through our darkest days. Featuring original music and lyrics by Aparna Halpé (Canada), and works by Julián Peralta, Pétalo Selser, and Eva Wolff (Argentina), this album redefines the face and sound of contemporary tango in Canada. DISTANCIA is funded by the Ontario Arts Council. DISTANCIA will be out on Bandcamp on May 28th, 2023.
