High Efficiency FURNACE & CENTRAL AIR AIRE ONE MADNEss sAlE! Blue Rodeo frontman adds second show Blue Rodeo's famed frontman Jim Cuddy has added a second show at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts due to an overwhelming demand. The solo artist will be performing Tuesday (Nov. 18) at the 130 Navy St. centre, after his show on Oct. 28 quickly sold out in two weeks. "When I write songs for my solo material, the songs tend to be a lot more personal than what I write for Blue Rodeo," Cuddy said in a press release. "I come in here and sit down with all of these instruments and work at building the ideas until a song emerges. "Once I've demoed the track and played it for the band, we work on fleshing it out." The Juno Award-winning artist released his latest solo album Skyscraper Soul in 2011 after his two previous records went gold in Canada. The November show will also feature an informal, moderated discussion with Cuddy at the Paradiso restaurant, 125 Lakeshore Rd. E., shortly after the performance. Tickets for Cuddy's second show can be purchased online at www.oakvillecentre.ca or by calling 905-8152021 or toll-free 1-888-489-7784. $ · 95.5% High Efficiency Gas Furnace CUSTOmERS · High Efficiency Central Air R410A Refrigerant · 10 Year Factory Warranty FURANCE DIAGNOSTIC SERvICE · Limited Time Offer $ · Call for details ONLY reg. $99 PACKAGE INCLUDES: INSTALLED OR 3990 ONLY $ * Gas Furnace 95% EFF. 59 /mTH OAC* OvER 120,000 SATISFIED 49 IN OPA AND GAS COmPANY REbATES $1350 UP TO THE FORECAST CALLS FOR 9 Locations To Serve You Better! *See dealer for details HEATING & COOLING www.aireone.com · 1-888-827-2665 A+ RATING 905-849-4998 For more arts news, visit www.oakvillebeaver.com.
