SUMMARY:Junestone - Free Outdoor Concert (Eclectic Local)
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by Lead Sponsor Incite Foundation for the Arts.\nSaturday August 3: Junestone\n \n  \nAll shows: Saturdays from 5:00 – 6:00pm \nGates Open at 4:00pm\, Rain or Shine. \nNo admission fee. All ages event. \nBeer garden \nOutdoor Stage at The HMC Centre for Performance and Education (The Gasworks\, 141 Park St N\, Hamilton) \nChairs Provided \n  \nThe series is co-curated by members of the HMC and the HPO with the goal to bring vibrant\, accessible musical performances to the downtown community. \nMade possible with the support of Ontario Creates.  \n  \nAbout Junestone: \nFresh\, brilliant\, and funky as hell are just some of the ways startled audience members describe Junestone. It doesn’t take long for waves of iridescent guitar chords\, lush keyboard improvisations\, and the band’s wild and groovy vibe to sweep a room. As sincere as they are beguiling\, Junestone’s music is ear-catching\, memorable\, and at times delightfully outrageous. The band features Borys Franiczek on guitars\, Ian Aisling on keyboards\, Olivia Brown on bass and vocals\, and Justin McHugh on drums. \nJunestone’s music is psychedelic and often alludes to themes of self-realization\, assertiveness\, and vision. Smitten with jazz and rock as they are\, the band’s playing is routinely inspired by America’s Classical Music and 90’s alternative hits alike. Junestone is consistently influenced by music from everywhere\, but their song- writing ingenuity owes it all to American music legends like Charles Mingus\, James Brown\, and Erykah Badu. \nThe band began in the summer of 2018 when Olivia devised a band practice with three of her dear friends: Ian\, Justin\, and Borys. She had written three new songs and was ready to put them together. One of these songs\, “Who Cares”\, would be the band’s first single less than a year later. Since then\, the band has released seven singles. As time has passed\, writing has become a more collective endeavour. The band’s repertoire has now expanded to include dozens of originals. \nEach band member has studied jazz performance in the GTA. Borys is a graduate of York University’s Music program while Justin studied at Humber College. Both Ian and Olivia are graduates of Mohawk College’s music program. Ian currently works as a composer and has written music for two CBC documentaries\, The Last Guide and Road to Roxham. Justin is a regular performer on the Toronto music scene and has played with Brownman Ali and Juno award-winning musician Donné Roberts among others. Borys has attended California Brazil Camp and like Olivia\, works as a private music teacher in the Hamilton area. Olivia has attended the Banff Centre as a musician in residence (Winter 2018) and was nominated as an emerging artist for three consecutive years at the Hamilton Arts Awards (2017-2019).  \nJunestone’s performance experience includes T.U. Jazz Fest 2020 and Ontario Place Summer Live Music Festival 2021 and 2022. They have also played various events at Royal Botanical Gardens including SummerTide 2023 and both WinterTide 2022 and 2023. Upcoming performances for Junestone include Markham Village Music Festival 2023\, Hamilton’s Music on the Waterfront 2023\, and Markham’s DTM Music Fest in September.

Bud has also premiered works by Jeffrey Ryan\, Andrew Staniland\, Melissa Hui\, Abigail Richardson-Schulte\, Norbert Palej\, and John Burge. \nBud’s musical career began as an orchestral oboist\, after earning a Bachelor of Musical Arts from the University of Western Ontario and a Master of Music degree from Yale University\, studying with Ronald Roseman. He played often with the orchestras of the Canadian Opera Company\, the National Ballet of Canada\, and Phantom of the Opera before moving to the United States\, where from 1997-2004 he held positions with the Toledo Symphony\, the Michigan Opera Theater\, and the Buffalo Philharmonic. \nHis career as a tenor began in 2005\, when he was invited by Lydia Adams to join the Elmer Iseler Singers\, with whom he performed for seven years. Other ensemble affiliations include the Canadian Opera Company Chorus (2008-2012)\, La Chapelle de Quebec under Bernard Labadie (2008-2023)\, and Soundstreams’ Choir 21. \nEngagements for the 2022-2023 season include guest appearances with the Toronto Consort (Praetorius)\, the Spiritus Ensemble and the Bach Elgar Choir (Bach cantatas)\, the National Academy Orchestra (Messiah)\, leading performances of “Worship in a Time of Plague” with Capella Intima (Toronto\, St. Catharines\, Hamilton) as well as debut performances with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra; solo recitals in Toronto\, Hamilton\, and Boston (Boston Early Music Festival Fringe Series); and a residency with Pacific Opera Victoria with composer Jeffrey Ryan and librettist James Fagan Tait (2022)\, followed by a Canada Council-supported workshop in Vancouver at the Canadian Music Centre (2023). Two new recordings for Musica Omnia will be released internationally in early 2023—a solo recording (Affetti Amorosi\, voice and theorbo) of Venetian arias from the 1620s\, and Capella Intima’s third recording\, featuring sacred Venetian motets for 1-6 voices with the Gallery Players of Niagara (Worship in a Time of Plague). \nBud is committed to the cultural enrichment of his local community of Hamilton\, Ontario. He has served on the boards of the Hamilton Arts Council and the Bach Elgar Choir\, and volunteers as the Founder and Artistic Director of HAMMER BAROQUE\, a monthly\, pay-what-you-can concert series for Early Music guests from across North America. \nBud is currently enrolled in the Doctor of Musical Arts program at the University of Toronto\, continuing his exploration of self-accompanied performance practice with the theorbo and baroque guitar. His current research into the use of digital media in historical performance began at McMaster University (MA\, Communications and New Media\, 2019)\, and he has presented on this topic at international conferences in Sydney\, Vilnius\, Bloomington\, and the University of Toronto.
