The SPECIAL INTEREST Group

Kevin is in Ottawa, performing in Tomson Highway’s Rose at the NAC, so the SPECIAL INTEREST group is happy to announce that Rob Gusevs will be our special guest for our March outing. Wednesday March 25, 7pm to 9pm in the Southern Cross. Last night I had the strangest dream I ever dreamed before. I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war. I dreamed I saw a mighty room, the room was filled with men, and the paper they were signing said they'd never fight again. And when the papers all were signed and a million copies made, they all joined hands and bowed their heads, and grateful prayers were prayed. And the people in the streets below were dancing round and round, and guns and swords and uniforms were scattered on the ground. (Ed McCurdy)

the SPECIAL INTEREST group brings a new rhythm to songs of hope & struggle …. Infusing songs from civil rights, gospel, folk and protest movements with elements of folk, blues, rock, R&B, jazz, reggae & ska.

Songs of social change, from picket lines and protest marches, addressing contemporary issues from peace to climate change to economic justice …

the SPECIAL INTEREST group is excited to develop and promote their brand of progressive culture through a residency at the Tranzac Club’s Southern Cross Lounge. Catch them on the fourth Wednesday of every month

Conscious lyrics and danceable grooves.
