"Into the Beautiful Blue"
Saturday, May 4, 2019
7:00 p.m.
Featuring the lush vocals of Shann Bailey and the original songs of Timothy Trieste, from the group's adult contemporary album, the concert features a 5-piece band with some of Ottawa and Toronto's most accomplished musicians.
With styles ranging from singer-songwriter, to adult pop, to jazz, the concert aspires to also be a real stage show with a series of unique narrations which tie the songs together, featuring short stories written for the stage from Trieste's forthcoming book. The poetic songs and stories weave together the big themes of existence: love, loss, our purpose in nature and the greater universe, and the personal experiences we all share in making our way through life.
