Huntsville Festival lineup includes Blue Rodeo tonight
Blue Rodeo headlines an eclectic list of nationally
and internationally recognized performers who will
be part of the 2010 Huntsville Festival’s summer season. The iconic rock band has been at the forefront
of the Canadian music scene for 30 years and this
will be their first performance in Huntsville. Playing
tonight, to an audience anticipated to be in excess of
2,000, the group will help inaugurate the new Canada
Summit Centre and celebrate the legacy of additions
and improvements to Huntsville and area initiated by
virtue of the hosting of the G8 meeting of countries.
Local talent Laganza will open up for them. At press
time, there were still tickets to the show. They will be
sold at the door, which opens at 7p.m.
Friday, July 2, the Festival’s July schedule kicks off
with Festival favourite Lighthouse, Canada’s premier
classic rock group. No strangers to the Festival, the
band still sports founding members Skip Prokop, Paul
Hoffert and Ralph Cole. The group was a mainstay of
the Canadian music scene in the late 60s and 70s and
has been re-energized over the past number of years
with the addition of vocalist Dan Clancy. From Sunny
Days to Hats Off To The Stranger expect to hear all of
their hits while also enjoying their new material.
Saturday, July 3 will offer a special evening of music
with the introduction of Mark Masri to our Huntsville
audience. This rising star vocalist has toured with
piano great Jim Brickman and has co-written the
song The Face with Olympic composing star Stephan
Moccio. Masri also performed on the recent CBC hit
Battle of the Blades. Joining Masri for the concert, on
selected numbers, will be Canadian hit maker Sky
Sky. Well known to Huntsville audiences as both a
performer and a seasonal resident, Amy recognized
quickly the talent that Masri brings to the stage and
has been instrumental in promoting this future star.
She is convinced that with the voice of an angel, the
looks of a heartthrob and the soul of an artist, Masri is
poised to become Canada’s next vocal sensation.
The concert will feature the music of Josh Groban,
Andrea Bocelli, Lionel Ritchie and also original
tunes.
Sunday, July 4 young and old are invited to get
involved in a special workshop and concert. Celebrated children’s artist Norman Foote will lead a
songwriting workshop, starting at 12:30 p.m.. The
workshop will be held at the Festival stage in River
Mill Park. Foote will take adults and children over 8
through the process of songwriting. One outcome
will be the creation of a song that will be performed
at a concert to be presented at 2 p.m., following the
workshop. Also held on the Festival stage, both the
workshop and the concert are offered free of charge.
Registration for the workshop will take place at 12:15
p.m. at the stage or online prior to July 4, by emailing
info@huntsvillefestival.on.ca. A cross-generational
songwriter, Foote writes tunes that catch the heart
of young and old alike. His concerts are filled with
engaging stories of his own youth, packed with wonderful adaptations and wordplay. He has often been
referred to as “a modern day vaudevillian” when he
introduces his “props with an attitude.” His recent
CD Love My New Shirt was recognized with a 2010
Juno Award and his hit Man Who Ran Away with the
Moon has been played on Nickleodeon, Disney and
Family Channel.
Tuesday, July 6, Classic Albums Live return to
Huntsville with their presentation of The Beatles
White Album in its entirety. Having performed albums
from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Supertramp in the
past, the recreation of one of the top ten albums of
all time should be a special event. The group is not
a tribute band in that they don’t attempt to recreate
the looks of the original Beatles. Their focus is on the
music and often a number of artists are required to
recreate sounds on the CD, often created in the studio
during recording.
Tickets for all Festival events are available at the
Algonquin Theatre box office on Main Street., by
calling 789-4975 or online at huntsvillefestival.on.ca
where the entire lineup, through July and August, can
be viewed.
HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME: Blue Rodeo will be at the Canada Summit
Centre tonight. Don’t miss the first concert at the venue as well as Blue
Rodeo’s first visit to Huntsville.

The highly anticipated third !lm in the Twilight
Saga series, based on the books by Stephanie Meyer, is now in theatres. The fantasy thriller Eclipse,
sequel to New Moon continues the adventures of
18-year-old Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart).
Bella’s high school graduation is fast approaching
but her life is not a carefree one. She !nds herself
pressured to make a choice between her love, vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and her best
friend, werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Her
problem is complicated by her hope to avoid her
choice incite the ancient hostility between vampires
and werewolves.
Is it possible for her to steer a course that keeps
them treating each other with respect to avoid hurting her and setting off the violence of age-old grudges? She also must be wary of the motives of rogue
vampire Victoria, who blames Bella for the death
of her mate, James. Behind all this is the ominous
string of unexplained killings which is shocking Seattle. Could these be connected to the tightrope on
which Bella is balancing?
The outdoor scenes in the movie were shot in the

Music lovers should listen for the theme for the
!lm, composed by the Toronto group, Metric
