I Just Wanna Go to Sleep Forever- Micah Erenberg

Support live music! Tuesday, June 13th, at Bo’s you’ll find a real Canadian treat!

From the band’s website:

“… Micah Erenberg is a diversely talented multi-instrumentalist, singer songwriter and frontman extraordinaire from Matlock, Manitoba. He has strong family roots and an affinity for the country. He has been writing songs his whole life with inspiration from the rural surroundings of his hometown and the solitude this lifestyle provides.

Like the man himself, his music is charming, witty and authentic. His full disclosure style of writing makes for captivating material that varies from poetically clever to gracefully heartbreaking. Erenberg continually finds ways to reinvent the art of songwriting by expressing a mixture of honest lyrics, mesmerizing melodies and distinctive musical arrangements.

His band is a dream team of Winnipeg talent and has become renowned in the thick and eclectic Winnipeg music scene, performing frequently in town, most notably at treasured venues such as the Good Will Social Club and the Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club.

After years of live performances with various groups, Micah released his debut album, Poor Mic’s Toe in the fall of 2016. The album is a refreshing cleanse of new music that showcases Erenberg’s aptitude for songwriting and the band’s formative musical collaboration. The lyrics are simultaneously sharp, clever and even hilarious without compromising depth. Each song offers a different perspective from Erenberg’s highly self-aware and crooked compass. The album is a mosaic of stories, thoughts and reflections about sleeping eternally, drinking with Jesus in Los Angeles, losing a toe to a lawnmower, kissing while smiling, drinking away the seven seas, and everything in between. He reflects on both the hilarity and misery of life in a highly accessible manner.

Notre Dame Fine Arts Department presents: “Elf, the Musical!”

News release from Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools

NOTRE DAME FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT IS INVITING YOU TO OUR MUSICAL PRODUCTION OF Elf, the Musical!

TICKETS ON SALE NOW!

Directed by Jennifer Cocolicchio starring JM Amurao, Addy Penney, Please join the Notre Dame Fine Arts students for their interpretation of Matilda.

A title known the world over, Elf The Musical is a must-produce holiday musical that can easily become an annual tradition for any theatre. Based on the cherished 2003 New Line Cinema hit, Elf features songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar (The Wedding Singer) and Chad Beguelin (Disney’s Aladdin on Broadway), with a book by Tony Award winners, Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone).

Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

This modern-day holiday classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner elf. After all, the best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear. (https://www.mtishows.com/elf-the-musical)
