PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE d.. AQUiCKSMOKE at JIM JAM 2010, Morrisburg, ONTARIO AQUICKSMOKE are four like-minded confreres who have traveled the musical landscape for some years now under many pseudonyms. Paul Hampsey is the lead singer of the band. Plays a mean chuggin' guitar as well. Alden Roberge is the drummer. 'Nuff said. Philippe Leger adds fluorescent guitar nuances and lends a voice now and then. Miguel Cerejido happily rounds out the whole by enveloping the group with thumping bass and Cuban-accented vocal harmonies. AQUiCKSMOKE is an entirely original group who rely on the basic need that music does soothe the soul and its delivery is honest and straightforward Read more: http://www.myspace.com/aquicksmoke#ixzz0ujEOdMzi I only highlight a small number of events that are posted to the calendar. Nowhere near everything is posted on the calendar as it's musician/venue optional to post, and amend the listings as needed. However more info can be found on the calendar including links to such venue web sites as Rainbow Bistro, Tucson's, The Elmdale and Bass Line Station that usually have more detailed schedules. It's also a good idea to call a venue to confirm that regular listings still apply as they sometimes just quietly go away or may be cancelled due to weather disruptions.
