SUMMARY:Bob Wiseman + Mike Boguski
DESCRIPTION:Bob Wiseman + Mike Boguski\n2 Pianos\, No Rodeo\nSame piano. Different realities.\nor call 250-549-SHOW (7469)\nCreekside Theatre\nTue\, Jun 2\, 2026 At 7:00pm\n26 06 02 Two Pianos No Rodeo 320 2\n$49.00 Per Person\nIncluding fees & charges \nThis isn’t a concert. It’s a piano séance in two acts. \nBob Wiseman and Mike Boguski\, two of Canada’s most unpredictable keyboard minds are taking turns dismantling and reimagining what a solo piano set can be. One piano. Two artists. Zero cowboy hats. \nTHE PLAYERS: \nBOB WISEMAN Founding member of Blue Rodeo. Punk pianist. Lo-fi provocateur. Think Monk meets Burroughs at a Toronto dive bar. Expect sound collage\, biting satire\, sonic left turns. Nothing’s off limits. \nMIKE BOGUSKI Current Blue Rodeo pianist. Ambient soul explorer. A master of restraint and reverie. Piano as landscape. Melody as memory. Quiet storms and cinematic swells. Musical cliff jumping. \nTHE NIGHT:\nEach artist takes the same piano and launches in opposite directions – solo\, stripped down\, wide open. One piano. Two deeply personal journeys. No safety net. No genre crutches. No rodeo. \nCome for the clash of styles. Stay for the communion. This is piano as protest\, as prayer or as whatever they feel that night. \n“Two Pianos\, No Rodeo” is for those who like their art live\, unexpected and slightly dangerous. Think of it less like a show and more like two sonic postcards from different planets sent through the same grand piano.

SUMMARY:Bobby Bazini
DESCRIPTION:$39.00 Per Person\nIncluding fees & charges \nSince his very first career interview fifteen years ago\, following the release of I Wonder\, Bobby Bazini has often been asked the same question: why doesn’t he sing in French? Journalists ask it during interviews\, and fans bring it up after shows or when they approach him on the street. The desire was there\, of course\, but for years\, he postponed the project — unsure of how to approach it\, doubting himself\, wondering whether he was capable and whether his audience would follow him on that path… \nIn 2022\, he began working on French-language songs with longtime collaborator Connor Seidel (1969 Collective\, Charlotte Cardin\, Les Sœurs Boulay). They spent an entire summer on it\, but something wasn’t clicking. One day\, in the middle of a studio session\, they walked away — without finishing a single song. The disappointment was real\, but Bobby realized he simply wasn’t ready. He shelved the project once again and focused on releasing his album Pearl. \nHe then toured Western Canada\, Europe\, and across Quebec. During that time\, he also began a personal journey: going back to school to finish high school\, which he had left behind due to his music career. He reconnected with his former French teacher and spoke to her about his dream of making a French-language album. He showed her the lyrics he had written in French\, and in return\, she encouraged him to read more in that language to expand his vocabulary. \nBecause yes — he needed to find his voice in French. Having grown up immersed in English-language music\, writing and singing in that language came naturally. French required a different creative process\, a different way of making words resonate. At first\, he focused heavily on the technical aspects; but over time\, as he kept trying\, fluency emerged. And with it\, space for emotion — which unfolded in its own way\, in his native tongue. \nOne day\, while printing his student ID card\, he saw his full birth name: Bobby Bazinet. The moment hit him hard. For fifteen years\, everyone had called him Bazini — to the point where he had almost forgotten his real last name. It felt like a liberation. It was right then that the desire to make a French-language album truly took shape. \nThe concept for Seul au cinéma came later\, during the Pearl tour. While playing a show in Saint-Eustache\, Bobby found himself performing in a venue that was part of a movie theatre complex. That afternoon\, after soundcheck\, the venue manager offered him free rein to roam the cinemas. He made himself a bucket of popcorn and wandered from screening room to screening room\, coming and going freely — sometimes staying for just a few minutes\, sometimes longer. There were no signs outside the doors\, so he never knew what he was walking into: a horror film\, a romantic comedy\, a popular Quebec feature. \nThe experience stayed with him. It felt like drifting through fragments of stories\, like hopping from one dream to another\, never seeing how any of them ended. When he told Connor about it\, the concept clicked instantly: Seul au cinéma — Alone at the Movies. Nine rooms. Nine songs. Nine films telling a story of identity\, Bobby’s story\, through solitude. \nWith the theme in place\, they had to define the album’s sonic universe. At first\, Bobby and Connor thought of expanding on Pearl’s orchestral textures\, and brought in Antoine Gratton and the Quatuor ESCA to record string arrangements. But as the sessions progressed\, they felt they were straying from their desired sound. \nIn recent years\, Bobby had been discovering French-language music\, largely thanks to the parents of his partner Odessa. He grew particularly fond of Jim et Bertrand (he cites La tête en gigue as a favourite) and Rêver mieux by Daniel Bélanger. As it turned out\, Connor also loved both of these albums — and they became central inspirations for Seul au cinéma. The balance of acoustic instrumentation and sampling in Rêver mieux\, and the rich chord progressions of Jim et Bertrand\, underpinned by melodies you sing at the top of your lungs at concerts or in the car — that’s the artistic path they chose to follow. \nEventually\, Bobby and Connor stripped the sound down to its essence: just two guitars and a computer. They wanted to evoke the early 2000s\, when acoustic guitar took center stage\, while layering in modern touches through synths and sampling. Strings recorded by Antoine Gratton were re-sampled to create a more contemporary sound. They also incorporated ambient sounds captured in cinemas to further immerse listeners in the filmic atmosphere. \nSeveral musicians contributed to the project: Robbie Kuster on drums\, Conner Molander on keyboards\, Alex Francoeur on flute and saxophone\, and Odessa Pagé\, Bobby’s partner\, on backing vocals. \nIn many ways\, the musical world of Seul au cinéma is a natural evolution of Pearl (which drew on influences like Bill Withers and Jorge Ben). It is Bobby’s dual identity — musical\, linguistic\, and personal — that gives rise to this singular sound. \nSeul au cinéma will be released on September 19\, and Bobby has never felt this eager for an album launch. To him\, it feels like attending the premiere of his own movie — like watching himself play his own role\, navigating the duality of Bazinet and Bazini. He wonders whether the public will follow him on this new journey. \nHaving long defined himself through his idols\, Bobby Bazini now steps forward — stripped down\, without artifice — in his own language.
