Join the Trail & District Arts Council in celebrating the 2024-25 performance season, with a Canadian icon in the music world, Bill Usher.
With his rare gift of communicating “good-getting-older” life experiences into memorable songs and humorous reflections, four-time Juno Award winner Bill Usher creates an evening that brings the generations together in a head-nodding appreciation of those universal truths that happen in families as some grow up while others grow old.
For the rest of the evening, Bill Usher and his excellent bandmates Paul Pigat, Holly Hyatt and Steve Briggs groove their way through a bunch of songs that lyrically recall significant events of Usher’s up-and-down journey toward the light of love and understanding.Chris Frye of The Bills says, “Bill has somehow found that magical combination of fresh vitality and seasoned wisdom in his show. His songs are personal yet universal, moving the entire audience to laugh, sigh and sing along.”
Bill Usher is a four time Juno Award-winner, who could be one of the most accomplished but, not-so-famous people in the world of Canadian music and arts! He’s produced 60 albums, most notably the first four ground-breaking albums for Sharon,Lois & Bram, five acclaimed albums with Sesame Street’s Bob McGrath and another for his buddies Big Bird & Oscar the Grouch and many, many more receiving numerous Gold and Platinum records along the way.
