Greg MacPherson

The West End Cultural Centre proudly hosts a two night affair, Loud and Quiet with local icon Greg MacPherson and special guests. Friday, September 9th will mark a night of fast and churning tunes both new and old while Saturday, September 10th will be home to an intimate, acoustic set of music from Greg’s brand new album and favourites from the past.
 
Greg is celebrating two of the most important events of his music career thus far. The launch of his new record Disintegration Blues and the official launch of Greg’s record label, Disintegration Records.  Joining Greg on stage will be The Cannon Bros on Friday night, and Jesse Hill of Slow Dancers on Saturday, both from the Disintegration Records roster.

MacPherson is the new breed of a songwriting tradition stretching back to Woody Guthrie and including voices like Jo Strummer and Bruce Springsteen. Like the aforementioned legends, MacPherson shares his loud, passionate voice saying things about his place in the changing world and champions labour rights through song. These are songs about love, desire, fear and doubt. His songs walk an inscrutable line between beauty and determination. A place where the ordinary becomes important and actions bring hope. The celebrated dichotomy of the proudly Winnipeg based Greg MacPherson is both loud and quiet.

Two special silkscreened posters in limited edition designed by Guppy Graphic Design and two unique custom craft brews by Half Pints Brewing Co. will be available to purchase to celebrate the occasion, giving both nights their own special flavour and visual appeal.
 
$30 will get you admittance to the two shows while the $50 ticket price will get you a seat for the performances, a signed poster, a copy of the Disintegration Blues album and a chance to win breakfast with Greg as your special chef for you and a guest in your own house!
