Rita Chiarelli:October 14 & 15
Rita Chiarelli in Concert: She’s back in town! Friday & Saturday, October 14 & 15. $25 at the door. Starting at 8:00. Canada’s Goddess of The Blues rocks the Pearl Company! Rita’s latest huge adventure has taken her on a rare and exclusive musical journey, a pilgrimage to the birthplace of the blues, Louisiana State Maximum Security Penitentiary a.k.a Angola Prison. She never imagined that her love of the blues would lead her down legendary Highway 61 to a historic jailhouse performance with inmates serving life sentences. With acclaimed director Bruce McDonald, they have created a riveting and award winning documentary and a powerful soundtrack, Music From The Big House!
“These past few years, I took long and lonely journeys to Mississippi and Louisiana… the songs you will hear are the bluesy swampy rootsy experiences I had… they are real and they are from the heart” Rita Chiarelli.
“Music from the Big House is about exploring the redemptive power of music.” – Peter Howell, Toronto Star
” Music from the Big House is very much a documentary about jail house blues, one that gets the soul singing and the foot tapping.” – Marina Antunes, Quiet Earth. www.ritachiarelli.com
