 Sultans of String Benefit Concert - Alliston
Saturday, October 11, 2008 8:00 p.m.
The Gibson Centre
63 Tupper Street West, Alliston
Tickets: $20
Call: (905) 936-4100 or pick up at the Gibson Centre box office.
Please join for an upbeat evening of amazing music in a lovely venue.

Atomic world-jazz-flemenco!!
Sultans of String are Canada’s ambassadors of musical diversity. The band romps through an energized adventure of Latin, Middle Eastern, Gypsy–jazz and folk rhythms, celebrating musical fusion and human creativity with warmth and virtuosity. Fiery violin dances with rumba-flamenco guitar while a funk bass lays down unstoppable grooves. Acoustic strings meet electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound, exciting audiences to their feet with the irresistible need to dance.
Six-string violinist and bandleader Chris McKhool (who has guest starred with Jesse Cook and Pavlo), will be joined for this concert with guitarist nonpareil Kevin Laliberté (Jesse Cook, The Chieftains), and bass master David Woodhead (Stan Rogers, Loreena McKennitt).

Hilarious songs and sizzling fingerpicking. Lots of laughter, good times and funds raised to support the work of ArtsCan Circle.
A big thank-you to Tina Harvey for donating the venue and helping fill it with friends. Also thanks to Lillian Hall who helped organize and all the generous sponsors:
H &R Block, Uxbridge; Native Focus, Port Perry; WindReach Farm, Sally & Sandy Mitchell, Donna Miller, Judy Gregg, Frank & Ann Cummings, Tera from Barnies Horse Treats, Meta4 Gallery & Brooklin Bakery.
