The 2 things that struck me the most that night was that he didn’t have a huge barrier and security separating himself from the crowd\, he had stairs leading into the audience!! The other thing was how he could hold the attention of his audience so deliberately while introducing songs that told stories of the challenges he faced with his father’s depression and with authority. Not to mention the marathon show and energy level of the band. As a 16 year old\, this blew my mind and put me on a musical path that would guide my life. ‘Greetings From Asbury Park N.J. – Celebrating Springsteen: Unplugged’\, is not your typical tribute show with an 8 piece band playing all the songs like on the records\, but instead a tribute paying homage to the song writing of Bruce Springsteen\, and how his music inspired me and so many others. Working with Matt Horner and Gene Hardy\, I’ll be stripping down the music and telling some stories about Bruce’s life and career. And although we focus mostly on the early years\, there are a few surprises thrown in! \n \n Tickets URL:https://simcoestreettheatre.ca/event/celebrating-springsteen-unplugged/ LOCATION:Simcoe Street Theatre\, 65 Simcoe Street\, Collingwood\, Ontario\, L9Y 1H7\, Canada ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://simcoestreettheatre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Springsteen-Instagram.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20241005 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20241006 DTSTAMP:20260503T060522 CREATED:20240625T012507Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240919T205202Z UID:10000104-1728086400-1728172799@simcoestreettheatre.ca SUMMARY:Butterfly Tongue DESCRIPTION:Butterfly Tongue\, is an original theatre piece\, written by Owen Sound’s poet laureate emeritus\, Richard-Yves Sitoski. The event also showcases the talents of emerging musician Shjaane Glover and will raise awareness and funds for Collingwood’s women’s’ shelter\, My Friends House. \n\n \n \n Tickets\n \nButterfly Tongue  \nWritten and performed by Owen Sound’s poet laureate emeritus\, Richard-Yves Sitoski\, Butterfly Tongue tells the story of a small town foundry worker’s chance meeting with a woman at a bus shelter; a meeting that blows his world wide open\, fuelling his life with hope and love. \nThe woman at the bus shelter\, Susan\, is homeless and struggles with addiction.
