Romi Mayes and band (guitarist Jay Nowicki, bassist Bernie Theissen and drummer Emmet Van Etten AKA Corndog) blew everyone away Friday night at the Watson Art Centre in Dauphin. She played music from throughout her career and even shared a sneak peek from her forthcoming album, "Devil on Both Shoulders" available May 12th. Romi will also play a CD release show in Winnipeg on May 8th at the West End Cultural Centre.
Opening the show were local artists Melisa Stefaniw and Ian Macintosh who delivered a strong set of originals and the odd cover.
The Dauphin & District Allied Arts Council's next show will feature JUNO nominees the 24th Street Wailers from Toronto May 5th. This will be the first show in a long time in the recently renovated Old Fire Hall. Tickets available from the Fiddlelore Store, Dauphin Music & Electronics and at the WAC.
