"When I discovered Mose Allison I felt I had discovered the missing link between jazz and blues" Ray Davies
"The man’s voice was heaven. So cool, so decisively hip... Mose was my man. I felt him to be the epitome of restrained screaming power." Pete Townshend
"For over thirty years, this premier songwriter, singer and pianist has stared down the oncoming doom, peppering his idiosyncratic blend of jazz and blues with mordant wit and unflinching honesty." Village Voice
Eleven semi-finalists, picked from over twenty submissions received by the Central Music Festival Society, battled it out at The Hub in downtown Red Deer before a panel of three independent judges. Six acts made the cut for the final competition on Friday, May 29 at the Elks Lodge.
At the end of that evening, Oldbury edged out Ryan Langlois, Slake, Kallie Clayton, Pyro, and Low Flying Planes to claim the privilege of opening the Festival's second day. The band will kick the celebration off at 11:00 a.m. August 15. While the judges made Oldbury their unanimous choice, it was very, very close and the audience was treated to an excellent evening of spirited music. The talent contest was such a success that it will likely become a staple in the run-up to future editions of Central Music Festival.| Receive our email newsletter |
