I created this poster below for Jonny Yumang, a fellow singer/songwriter and friend in my local area of Cornwall, ON, Canada. This will be a Mothers Day Show on Saturday May 10th at the Army Navy Airforce Club (ANAF) 14 Marlborough St, Cornwall, ON. Tickets $15 each and can be purchased at Melody Music in advance (104 Pitt St) or at the ANAF Club itself. Cash Only.
I helped Jonny with his Christmas Elvis Show at the Royal Canadian Legion in Cornwall December last year. I worked as a freelance stage hand working with the equipment that they had. I also operated the sound boards and effects required. I accompanied Jonny on some of his songs playing a tambourine. We even did a few duets, and I sang a few Christmas songs in the second half of the show. It was a huge success, and a full house. Nice to see Jonny back in the music game!
Above is the stage that I decorated with what I could find. I also set up our speaker system for the show and electronics, including the computer which contained the backing tracks. The show was structured into 3 parts; the first being Elvis Christmas songs, the second being Other Christmas songs (which I did a few also), and finally a DJ set of a compilation of Christmas classics for the audience to dance to until the end of the evening.
Jonny Yumang (left) myself (right) in the picture above. We rented a spotlight and also bought a disco light for this show and the events going forward. It really makes a difference for the performers on stage to stand out. A nice detail, that really goes a long way!
The upcoming Mothers Day show will feature the music of Englebert Humperdinck, as well as other songs of love. A great chance to take your Mother, Auntie or any loved ones out really. There will be flowers raffled courtesy of Flowers Cornwall, (1325 Pitt St.). I will be covering the show with video and photos, another service that I offer my clients, as well as the many other things that I do. Be sure to explore the website to see!
The show begins at 7pm and goes on until 10pm, we hope to see you there! Travis Lafave will also be accompanying Jonny with his Flying Guitar 🎸
Well that’s all for now folks, until next time…
