Newmarket Entertainment Talent Search Tour 2014

It's not often I get excited about about a live show these days, as far too often I'm stuck feeding the same old, same old routine, dealing with cover band loving bookers, too afraid to let a talented original performer in the door. But every now and then something comes along to spark my passions, and nothing can feed my easily bored diverse palate for original material, than a talent search - one including Canadian Idol's Farley Flex as a judge no less. Hey don't knock it, the guy's connected to talent, make no mistake.

Talent Search Concert Tour 2014 presented by Captured Films & Arthur Jr Music brings that to town at Stellar Hall & Event Centre April 18 and more. At this writing no less than 9 Hip Hop acts have thrown their hats into the ring for the Newmarket swing of the talent tour and search, or onto the stage as it were,

along with 5 bands, 5 comedians and looks to be stokingly

Shaping up to honour its namesake as a Stellar Show!

Cameo performances can also be expected by some of the judging panel which includes in addition to Flex, TV & Film / Video Producer / Performer Tom Pearson, members from Glass Ampp, Anthony Champion, & The AJM FAM. The coolness is, it doesn't end there - with summer tour dates also awaiting the winners of the talent search by Arthur Jr Music and Captured Films in addition to all the other stuff, including a Grand Prize of $5,000 in industry goodies - like shoot time on a Red Epic Cam like Robo Cop and Transformers used!

Newmarket Music Promoter Maurice Weeks Live Entertainment Nights

The life of a promoter or show event coordinator or record label evolves constantly, and a real promoter is always looking to do something bigger, and so when a good promoter is filling their venues to capacity with patrons, the natural progression is to find something bigger to put them into. That's the predicament event and music promoters / record label Arthur Jr Music, led by Arthur Weeks aka talented Hip Hop singer Maurice Weeks, along with partner / compatriot Dan Barker of 90 Nickel Entertainment, is experiencing right now. But these are growing pains of the excellent kind.

Let's face it, the ultimate for someone inclined to put live rock & roll, hip hop and other cool genre laiden shows together is to do bigger and better each time. Just look at the progression of rock concerts over the years. I actually had the honour recently of interviewing Johnny Brower, one of the guys who organized and promoted the first ever multi day concerts who happens also to be the same fellow who organized The Toronto Rock & Roll Revival concert of 1969 - the first ever concert John Lennon performed apart from the Beatles, and widely believed by those in the know as being the catalyst that broke them up. Hey, what can I say, that's who I hang with when they are producing the Pop69 movie about him. Ha. The irony of having driven around with the legendary icon a few months back and now being out with an eager group of young up and comer wannabe legends didn't escape me.

I tried to mention it to the three who'd accompanied me on the little road trip, including another indy records and entertainment Producer Carly Myers of ILLBROKEN (IB) Entertainment, while showing a potential site for an indoor / outdoor gig that holds up to 1000 people, but I think it was maybe too much at the time to take in as they were way loving the venue and already wondering aloud about the how to's and what if's.

Anyway, the 1st idea was to bring some kind of headliner in to cap off a day of bands including showcasing local bands who have stood out in band wars and Talent Search competitions. So it would showcase not only a top notch headlining act, but some very cool other bands as well.

TPE could perhaps hook in some great food from a couple of local businesses and a beer tent to seal the deal, and the event would have all the fixings of a fun time. TPE's been looking for someone that fits this bill for these types of venues to work on the entertainment side and believe these guys fit that bill way well. They also combine to have a tremendous following and combine that with the fact they have also brought some great new talent to the stage in Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Aurora and Markham too and are always looking to develop talent and introduce the coolest in music trends through their events, which I'm digging, and you get a recipe for a great time. 

Maurice tells me they just signed an exciting rapper artist to the label  also known to do little genre blending which is cool and maybe what the music festival will be come about.. a festival of merging rock, rap and hip hop styles..thrown in amongst some traditional styles - A celebration of Rock Music history if you will!...So stay tuned for sum of dat shit y'mean!? It's all rock & roll to me.Ha.

These guys are at the ground level forefront of the music scene today - just like Johnny Brower was in his and am excited to see this show to completion and what kind of talent line up these guys put together should so stay tuned!


....With a hip, hop, a hippity hippity hop, and a hip, hop, hippityhophop!
