A couple upcoming shows at the Dekker Centre are sure to give audiences their money鈥檚 worth.
First, on Saturday, Nov. 4, Heillig Maneuvre hits the stage. Hellig Maneuvre (named after bassist and composer Henry Heillig) is a Toronto-based quartet that plays original instrumental jazz. Heillig is joined by saxophonist Alison Young, Stacie MacGregor on piano, and Charlie Cooley on drums. The group鈥檚 most recent recording is Thoughtful Fun.
Legendary Downchild is performing three days later. The group is an incarnation of the Downchild Blues Band, which inspired the Blues Brothers characters and movie. The website claims the blues outfit has 鈥渜uite possibly the best back story ever told.鈥
As reported earlier this year, the Dekker Centre's Moe McGuinty said the wild stories and influence of the Blues Brothers movie make him want to see the Legendary Downchild. Each of the members has at least 20 years experience playing the blues.
Tickets are $32 for Heillig Maneuvre, and $54 for Legendary Downchild. Taxes also apply.
