Sally’s View of the River

Mose Scarlett in Concert

Friday. October 30
Mose Scarlett with openers Albert Saxby and Barry Haggerty. A Mose Scarlett performance is much more than mere instrumental and vocal display. Mose’s sets, at times, seem like finely executed pieces of theatre (albeit, sometimes, the theatre of the absurd). His patter includes entertaining and topical commentary on the foibles of the world (who else would think of introducing the ‘Sheik of Araby’ with a dissertation on oil prices?). In Mose’s vicinity the unexpected is never far off – no one knows what is going to happen next (particularly his sidemen). He is deeply rooted in musical history – to give but one example, he performs ‘Sweet Georgia Brown’ with the rarely-heard verse and extra lyrics (though without a basketball). A keen observer of the contemporary scene, he is a trenchant social critic and a droll raconteur with many stories to tell.
Tickets $20/$15 for students/members. Tickets available at York St. Internet Cafe and Haliburton Highlands Copy Centre.
