DiggingRoots headlines Hugh's Room concert

Media information/For immediate release
Please add to coming events listings
DiggingRoots headlines at Hugh's Room
on bill with Treasa Levasseur; return
concert set for Thursday March 30
DiggingRoots - which recently scored strongly at a completely sold out
concert with Ndidi Onukwulu at Hugh's Room - are returning to the acoustic
music venue to headline their own show on Thursday March 30. Their special
guest will be Treasa Levasseur, who recently launched her debut CD, "Not a
Straight Line"
Formed by the songwriting team of ShoShona Kish and Raven
Kanatakta, DiggingRoots is the result of seven years of performing across
Canada with side trips to Hawaii, Spain and New Zealand.
The pair launched their first CD, "seeds" in January, on the Jericho
Beach label, the Vancouver-based home for songwriter James Keelaghan and The
Wailin' Jennys.
DiggingRoots draws on the Aboriginal heritage of the songwriters, in
addition to a range of blues, world music, jazz and folk influences ranging
from Nina Simone to Jimi Hendrix and Son House and Ricky Lee Jones, not to
mention pioneer British rock bands and mainstream jazz players.

Who: DiggingRoots (ShoShona Kish & Raven Kanatakta) with their band and
special guest Treasa Levasseur.

What: Eclectic music that rocks out, touches any number of roots and
features astonishing vocals, powerful guitar work and accessible songs that
ring true.

Why: A follow-up to their recent s.r.o. double bill with Ndidi Onukwulu.

When: Thursday March 30; show at 8:30 p.m., doors at 6 p.m.

Where: Hugh's Room, 2261 Dundas St. W., south of Bloor St. W.
How Much: Tickets $10.00 in advance/$12.00 at door, available at Hugh's Room
Ph: 416-531-6604 or www.huighsroom.com. Dinner reservations recommended.

Biographical notes:

Shoshona and Raven describe their songs as "heartbeat music"; they come by
the name of their band honestly, since their songs touch so many roots and
so many genres of music. Currently completing a first series of programmes,
Nish, for the Rogers Cable network - the show has been renewed for another
two years - the pair have become articulate spokespeople for their music,
and the many influences that have helped create it. This may indeed be
"music that matters," but it's also entertaining and original, honed by
dozens of club, concert and festival appearances.

Treasa Levasseur is a music therapist, and one of the freshest new voices on
the Toronto music scene. Heavily influenced by classic old-school rhythm and
blues, she's appeared on dozens of independent recordings as a backup singer
and musicians; she's currently marking the release of her first solo album,
for which she wrote all but two of the heart-felt, powerful songs.
