Mike Blackmore & The...

We feel very fortunate to have so many good friends in this city including the many talented musicians and artists that live here.  One of them is Mike Blackmore.   Along with an array of his fellow musicians he has played many times for our in-store events like First Fridays. For June 7th First Friday, the musician we had booked well in advance unfortunately had to cancel at the last moment.  A few quick phone calls and the short notice vacancy was filled by Mike and the band he chose to call, for this time, 'The Animations'.  With Dave Thomas on keyboard, Wulf Von Waldow on saxophone and Mike playing guitar, d'jembe and siren (yes siren), we along with his fans old and new, had a great evening of live music. The band played some their own compositions as well as covers they truly make sound like they wrote due to the ...

ArtWalk Weekend 2013

ArtWalk Weekend 2013

The weather held out and the crowds were here for yet another successfull ArtWalk weekend in Sarnia's Downtown Cultural District.  At least from our point of view it was successful. On Saturday the crowd was almost shoulder to shoulder as they strolled by our table of ArtWalk Weekend Specials.  I saw everything from men in red high heels to mini size Spideman to a bag piper who stopped by to play for a bit.  Also playing outside the store was Annette Dillion who was joined for a few songs by Eric Woolston.  Erika and Sara, one of our favorite singing duos also played a few songs during the windy Sunday afternoon. Saturday, I could hear a the drum circle at the intersection of Christina and Cromwell, but the crowd obscured my view a little.  Doesn't matter, it  was the beats that mattered. Inside Cheeky Monkey, artist Jessie J. Rabbitt was in residence.  She ...

THE ROLLING STONES – 50 AND COUNTING

THE ROLLING STONES – 50...

Having been a long-time Rolling Stones fan and not missing a farewell tour since the early 1980's, it was unavoidable that I would find a way to attend the most recent farewell show the band had at the Air Canada Center on May 25, 2013 - regardless of the high ticket price. With one exception all previous shows had been huge stadium shows, ranging from very good (Steel Wheels at Lansing) to old and tired (Comerica Park's Biggest Band tour) so the Air Canada show seemed almost intimate compared to some of the shows from the past. This is the first show that I have attended where the Stones did not have an opening act, opting instead for more Rolling Stones - they played for a full 2 and a half hours with plenty of highlights. They hit the stage at 8:45 with the usual opener on this tour Get Off My Cloud. ...

Fred Eaglesmith Travelling Steam Show Review

Posted in: Concerts & Events, News, Reviews | 1 Comment

Fred Eaglesmith Travelling...

Ser·en·dip·i·ty - 1. The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident. A serendipitous event is how it all started. Mike Zinger, mandolin player, promoter and all round good guy who plays in the Fred Eaglesmith Travelling Steam Show, happened  to walked into Cheeky Monkey on a beautiful April day when we had the doors wide open to let in the spring warmth.  He was walking up and down Christina Street dropping off posters for the then upcoming Friday May 10th show at The Eagles Club.  As we chatted, Mike happened to glance over my shoulder and caught sight of the board listing all the events we host in-store as well as sell tickets for. When he happened to ask if we would sell tickets for the show, we of course agreed. It was serendipity - a true happy accident he walked in that day. As a result, we are pleased to say we helped sell over half ...
