I thought the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre would like to know that the Canadian singer/songwriter Matthew Good is currently planning a tour of small to mid-sized venues in Canada in the late spring and early summer. Mr. Good successfully performed at the Performing Arts centre last year, and had a large turnout.
There are many young people in the Okanagan who would like to see this talented and relevant artist perform once again at the Performing Arts Centre. I feel you would sell sufficient tickets to benefit from him coming to Vernon.
Not only is Mr. Good a popular musician, he also is an ardent supporter of Amnesty International and its fight against human rights violations. Like Angelique Kidjo, who performed at the Performing Arts Centre this month, he has been known to set up displays at his concerts to help spread the word of this extremely important cause.
As someone who regularly enjoys both the many varieties of quality entertainment the Centre has to offer, and Matthew Good's work, I would urge you to contact his management to see if Vernon can once again appreciate Mr. Good's music.
The Febuary's are opening for Limblifter now! Does anyone else remeber the link matt threw up on his site to a guys song. He said he had been a fan for years and years, and now had a song, so matt put it up for him. Looks like Matt must have liked it enough to get them hooked up with his good buddy Ryan Dahle of Limblifter. Awesome!
By the way does anyone have any of The Febuary's music? I loved what i heard
"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good
"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911
"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good
I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Also in the process of being announced is a rather ambitious tour, chances are Matt and co. will be stopping by your neck of the woods so make note of the tour dates posted if you're interested
I hope "ambitious" means international and stopping in England

are they sure they should be saying it is 'ambitious'?
