It is a zany musical spoof of pop culture with extravagant costumes and outrageously huge hats.

BEACH BLANKET BABYLON in addition to the more than 10,000 performances in San Francisco, has performed for wildly enthusiastic audiences during its London and Las Vegas engagements.

BEACH BLANKET BABYLON continually evolves in its hilarious parodies of popular icons, updating its spoofs and adding new characters, songs, and send-ups throughout the year. The show's traveling version performs regularly for conventions and private groups from Tampa Bay, Florida, to Kaanapali, Hawaii.

Expect the spoof to continue, raining humor, crazy hats and ridiculous media caricatures on all those fortunate enough to visit this North Beach fixture.

Vivaldi Orchestra Prague, led by the Czech baroque specialist and violinist Václav Návrat, presents compositions by Vivaldi!

In Prague, Vivaldi's music was very popular during his lifetime. Between 1726 and 1736 six of Vivaldi´s operas, two of which were premieres, were performed in Count Sporck´s theatre in Prague. Since this time, Vivaldi was already famous across Europe and travelled especially to performances of his works - it is believed that he lived for an extended period in Prague.

The operas were staged by A. Denzio's operatic company from Venice, for whom Vivaldi hired singers in Italy and organized the new operatic works. Many unique manuscripts of his works are preserved in Czech archives. Some were written directly at the request of Czech noblemen, e.g. the lute compositions for Count Vrtba. Vivaldi´s most famous work 'Il cimento dell' armonia e dell' inventione'. Antonio Vivaldi himself directed the Morzin's ensemble during their concerts in Italy.

Vivaldi Orchestra Prague, led by the Czech baroque specialist and violinist Václav Návrat, wants to join tradition with this outstanding ensembles and bring new content to the rather inflexible understanding of museum authenticity. This is not a slavish copying of old forms in the old ways, but a discovery of the symbolism of the baroque period in all its breadth - the joining of its richness of sound with visual imagery and the creation of an environment in which the illusion of the dreaming of past beauties can be created!

Limited tickets will be sold to ensure your comfort. Music and Visuals from the main room will also be broadcast throughout the venue! Grammy nominated artist and globally acclaimed DJ and Producer Paul van Dyk continues to dominate the electronic music charts and appears at the pinnacle of every Top DJ list across the globe. PvD, as his fans have nicknamed him, has been ranked the World’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Magazine’s “Top 100 DJs poll” for two consecutive years. His fifth original album In Between was released August 2007 and features collaborations with David Byrne and Jessica Sutta of the Pussycat Dolls. PvD is renowned as one of the hardest working artists, with sold-out tours that cross each continent, headline spots at every major festival, and a hugely successful recording career. With over 3,5 million albums sold worldwide, van Dyk travels around the world over 16 times each year to sold out performances internationally. 2007 alone has brought us PvD remixes of Depeche Mode’s “Martyr”, Britney Spears’ „Gimmy more“ and Justin Timberlake’s “What Goes Around.... Comes Around”. In 2008 he collaborated amongst others with Peter Heppner, The Wombats and did Remixes on „The Dark Night“ movie soundtrack by Hans Zimmer, „Mirror’s Edge“, the video game by EA Games and has compiled and mixed the annual Cream Ibiza Compilation. PvD received a Grammy nomination in 2005 for Best Dance/Electronic Album for his original album Reflections – this marked the first time NARAS recognized this category. His original productions from Reflections have been synced into major motion pictures such as “Into the Blue”, “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”, television’s “Entertainment Tonight” and MTV’s “Cribs”, and international ad campaigns for Motorola, HBO, Land Rover, Ski Vail and most recently for Jeep. In 2008 Paul won 3 International Dance Music Awards (IDMA) for his tracks „Let Go“ and „White Lies“ from his Album In Between: Best Alternative/Rock Dance Track, Best HiNRG/Euro Track and Best Progressive House/Trance Track. In 2007 he got an IDMA for Best Euro DJ and got four IDMAs in 2006: Best Global DJ, Best NuNRG/Euro Track, Best Producer and Best Mix Compilation for The Politics of Dancing 2. In addition, PvD was voted “America’s Favorite DJ” for 2004 and 2005 by BPM Magazine and was the big winner at the 2004 Dancestar Awards, taking home 3 awards: Best International DJ, Best Event and Best Music in a Commercial (Motorola). He also won the Mexican Oscar for his soundtrack in the film Zurdo in March 2004. Paul van Dyk was voted "Best Music Maker" by DJ Magazine, received the “Best International DJ Award” at the 1999 Music Awards in London, was named "Best International DJ" by Ministry of Sound Magazine, and Mixmag elected him as “Man of the Year”. Aside from his musical activity, Paul van Dyk has always dedicated a significant part of his life to politics and social justice: from his youth, when he fled over the Berlin Wall to the West, to his children’s charity in India’s Mumbai, and his partnership scheme with the German Red Cross to help disadvantaged children in Berlin. In 2004, PvD was the only electronic artist involved in a nationwide tour with the “Rock The Vote” campaign, where he joined the likes of Bono, P Diddy, the Black Eyed Peas and George Clinton in campaigning for America’s youth to sign up to vote in the presidential election. In 2006 he received Berlin’s Medal of Honor (Landesverdienstorden) in recognition of his work with Ruckenwind, a charity organization he founded dedicated to helping disadvantaged children in Berlin. He joins a distinguished list of arts and political establishment figures with this honor. Born in Eisenhuettenstadt, East Germany, Paul van Dyk grew up in communist East Berlin. Because his community did not have a true club culture, Paul van Dyk listened to the radio where he discovered his passion for music that extended beyond Techno music – he wanted to create a different, more unique sound. In the early 1990s Paul van Dyk was spinning regularly at various clubs in Berlin before releasing his first album 45 RPM in 1994. But it wasn’t until the release of his second album Seven Ways which catapulted him into the Top 100, followed by the release of his hit single “For An Angel,” which began to earn him praise across the globe. By the time Paul van Dyk released Out There & Back in 2000, it became clear that the Berlin-based musician had far more to offer than his signature club sets and remixes that had already defined him as one of the most influential DJs and producers of all time. His first compilation mix CD Politics of Dancing was released in 2001, followed by Global in 2003 – a DVD which illustrates his own experiences traveling the world. Paul van Dyk created the radio station VONYC Sessions focused on the electronic dance scene and broadcasting weekly radio shows on FM stations all around the globe. He runs the independent label VANDIT Records with digital sub imprint and artist management which is going to celebrate his 10th anniversary. Paul van Dyk’s touring diary remains incredibly hectic with regular globetrotting stops at major venues across the globe from New York, London, Ibiza to India, China and Singapore. On New Year’s Eve 2008/2009 he played in front of an impressive audience of 1,5 Million people in Rio de Janeiro. February 2009 saw van Dyk performing a unique collaboration with double Grammy winner and master conductor Paavo Järvi for the Music Discovery Project of internationally renown HR Symphony Orchestra. At Frankfurt..s Jahrhunderthalle, the electronic music artist and Paavo Järvi experimented with the music styles of far away galaxies. Both interpreted "The Planets" by Gustav Holst, the mighty orchestra suite with it..s powerful sound which even fans of "Star Trek", Star Wars" and "The Simpsons" could encounter. In the little time remaining between all the travel, Paul van Dyk hosts his own radio show “Paul van Dyk’s VONYC Sessions” which airs weekly on radio stations all around the world to millions of listeners!

Robin Spielberg is one of America’s most beloved pianist/composers. With an impressive tour schedule and hundreds of thousands of recordings sold, this Steinway Artist has been winning the hearts of listeners around the world with her compelling melodies and sensitive piano technique since debuting her first recording of original solos for piano, “Heal of the Hand.” “A New Kind of Love” is Robin Spielberg’s 15th CD, and her first of all-original work in eight years. It is also her most personal and expressive yet. “A New Kind of Love” marks the artist’s return to creating the kind of music for which she is most famous: melodic soundtracks for her life journey. Exploring friendships, world beauty, the passage of time and the transitions of seasons, the CD is an intimate listening experience bound to resonate with Spielberg’s legions of fans as well as those new to her music. The title track chronicles a walk among friends. Spielberg starts alone, but the companions she encounters along the way encourage her to keep going both literally and metaphorically. The longest track on the CD, this eight-minute journey is a quiet and peaceful exploration of self-discovery and understanding. Fun, upbeat and filled with the unexpected, “This Busy Life” is the artist’s admission that the pressure, stress and fast-paced nature of her life is what she seeks most in a world telling her to slow down. Her family’s relocation from the New Jersey suburbs to a rural Pennsylvania town three years ago proved to be a catalyst for discovering the many layers to the loves and losses experienced in her life’s travels, giving her a new musical viewpoint. “Eileen”, written for her sister, is a musical statement of new-found layers of relationship and connection while “Seeing You Seeing Me” is an anthem gratitude to her good friend and mentor, Robin Goldsby. Other musical adventures on the recording include “Until You Come Home” which chronicles the feelingsof waiting and longing that only a mother knows, and the tongue-in-cheek swing piece "it's All Just As Well” composed on the heels of a stinging rejection. “Composing music is my way of seeing the world,” says Spielberg. “It always has been. It is through these melodies that I remember and understand my experiences and my place in the world.” Fortunately for this composer, her listeners relate. Letters from around the world have poured into Spielberg’s inbox over the years letting her know that her music has comforted, inspired, motivated, lifted and provided the soundtracks for their own life’s journeys.

LIVE NATION CANADA is pleased to present Great Big Sea with special guests on Thursday, November 26th at 7:30 p.m. at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Great Big Sea is a bastard. Forged from the loins of Figgy Duff and Ryan’s Fancy, GBS found its feet on the unforgiving streets of St. John’s, and stood their ground when others faltered. When asked about their unlikely success, founding member Bob Hallett is typically candid: “We weren’t the best musicians in town,” he says, “we just wanted it more. We were driven by a bloody-minded need to succeed and we were rewarded for our bleeding.” The band dragged themselves out of the city’s infamous bars to release their Warner debut “Up” in the spring of 1995. Relentless touring and a raucous live show quickly propelled the record to platinum. Their next effort “Play” enjoyed even bigger success and the band moved its show into hockey stadiums across the nation. The US labels took notice and GBS was subsequently signed to Sire by Seymour Stein (Madonna/Talking Heads), who unleashed the band on an unsuspecting American public. Accolades and a solid cult following ensued. “We are showmen and we live and die by our trade,” offers electrified lead singer Alan Doyle. “I am drawn to the light and I was born to burn”. Born and raised in ‘the far east of the western world’, the lads have traversed the globe, all the while wearing their hometown on their sleeves. “Our music is of Newfoundland,” explains McCann. “It would be impossible to do what we do if we were from anywhere else. Our songs come from the sea and the cliffs and the rocks and all the other natural beauties our country provides. Without her, we simply couldn’t exist.” For this, their latest and ninth album Fortune’s Favour, the band made the surprise choice to work with indie gadfly Hawksley Workman. “We wanted to push ourselves, to be surprised by our own music,” said Hallett, “and Hawksley was the right pilot for the flight…or the fight, depending on the circumstances.” A remarkable 15 years in, the band should by this time be content to slow down and rest on their laurels. Instead, Fortune’s Favour sees them boldly embracing new sounds and new ideas, fearlessly pushing the boundaries of their own art and music. In their lifelong quest to marry the traditional music of Newfoundland with their own pop explorations, Fortune’s Favour is a new benchmark. “We embraced the law of the road when we started this, and we apply the same rules to our music,” explains Doyle. “If you are not going forwards, you are going backwards. And we hate retracing our steps.” “This album is a stew of all our influences, “adds Hallett. “Bob Marley, the Clash, Fergus O’Byrne, Ron Hynes, Johnny Cash, Donal Lunny, and who knows what else. So who better to sum it all up than C.S. Lewis: ‘Further in and further up’” Alan Doyle, Sean McCann, and Bob Hallett still live, breath, and create in Newfoundland and Labrador. Their 9th studio recording, Fortune’s Favour can be found in stores and on line now. Don’t miss an evening with Great Big Sea at South Okanagan Event Centre on Thursday, November 26, 2009. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Show starts at 7:30 p.m.
