RCA Presents: The McDades

Thursday, March 21 | 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm | Mary Irwin Theatre | $39
No Intermission

Celebrate St. Patrick's with the RCA and The McDades! With a fresh take on traditional Celtic tunes, The McDades bring a high-energy kitchen party with a jazzy spin to the Mary Irwin Theatre.

Punching through the walls of tradition, The McDades’ Celtic-rooted music fuses the spontaneity of jazz improvisation and infectious global rhythms. The JUNO award winners’ cutting-edge sound is the perfect complement to their fiery performances.

At the heart of the group are siblings Shannon, Solon, and Jeremiah, who grew up playing Canadian folk music alongside their parents and among artists from around the world; a unique upbringing that led to a love and respect for all music. Their ground-breaking compositions and innovative arrangements are characterized by stunning virtuosity and a near-telepathic interaction on stage.

With vocal harmonies that can only come from a family, and an obvious love for each other and their music, The McDades’ sound is immersed in the spirit of improvisation. Combining original tunes and unique interpretations of traditional songs, their performances feature both energetic instrumentals and moving vocals performed in English and French. This compelling and dynamic group finds their groove “somewhere between a down-home kitchen party, a jazzy after-hours club, and a folk festival.” (London Free Press)

The McDades are winners of the JUNO Award for Best Roots Album (Group) and two Canadian Folk Music Awards (World Group of the Year and Instrumental Album of the Year.) Their new album, The Empress, continues to highlight the group’s one-of-a-kind sound and irresistible groove.

Walk Right Back: The Everly Brothers Story

DIRECT FROM THE UK! Following an incredible sell out tour, Walk Right Back returns to stages in 2024 by popular demand. From the producers of smash hit show That’ll Be The Day, this phenomenal production tells the story of the most successful musical duo of all time – The Everly Brothers. Featuring hits such as Bye Bye Love, All I Have To Do Is Dream and Cathy’s Clown, this unique concert-based musical entwines the wonderful, sad yet glorious story of The Everly Brothers.

The show follows the brothers’ rise to fame from humble country beginning to superstardom, through their decade-long feud to their glorious reunion which gave them back to each other, and back to the world.

With “harmonies from heaven” that influenced The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Simon & Garfunkel, The Everly Brothers were unmatched in their talent. Also featuring songs from a couple of the Everly Brothers' good friends, Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison.

Producer Trevor Payne (That’ll Be The Day) says: “The Everly Brothers were an original and unique act that had a sound like nothing else. Their harmonies were so tight that every group wanted to emulate them. Before that there was a singer, a band and backing vocals, The Everly’s entwined all of them and created “the harmony group.” Walk Right Back is the first show of its kind to tell this phenomenal story of two brothers and their unforgettable music. This is a show not to be missed!
