Turner Music & Events “All Things Spoken” Presents:
Swell – So the Story Goes
September 29, 2010
Venue: The Cultch’s Historic Theatre
Address: 1895 Venables Street, Vancouver BC
Time: Doors 7:30pm, Show 8:00pm
Tickets: 604-251-1363
Buy tickets online
With numerous books, CDs, performance, and video works to their individual credit, “cultural agitator and fab femme (NOW)” Anna Camilleri, “natural-born storyteller (Globe and Mail)” Ivan E. Coyote, and “musical genius (Xtra)” Lyndell Montgomery reveal the premier presentation of So The Story Goes—an original interdisciplinary performance—they’ll be joined by Leslie Peters’ video works, which has been screened internationally from Buenos Aries to Australia.
A lot has changed since their original performance of Taste This exploded onto the cultural scene, but the issues that the early collective inhabited continue to be relevant—questions of gender, sexuality, desire, culture, class, rural versus city life, and kinship. Home stories. Queer tales. True, except when they’re not. Stories that swell and implode the spaces between cultural institutions and queer landscapes; between female and male; between tightly produced performance and kitchen table talk. |

Turner Music and Events works closely throughout the year with Vancouver's finest and most intimate live music venue, the Cellar Restaurant and Jazz
Club, and with Vancouver's Cellar Live record Label. The Cellar Live Label was founded in 2001 by musician/producer/jazz club owner Cory Weeds. When Weeds purchased The Cellar Restaurant and Jazz Club. in August, 2000 he immediately started assembling some recording gear to preserve the incredible music that was being performed on stage every night.
Their catalogue now boasts over 45 records. 2007 was a banner year for the label. Cellar Live won "Label of the Year" for the national Jazz Awards. Jodi Proznick's "Foundations" won "Album of the Year" and "Acoustic Group of the Year". "Foundations" was also nominated for a JUNO award.
All of Cellar Live's releases have received fabulous reviews and the label has established itself as one of the country's finest producers of jazz music.
