Come join Babe to celebrate her all-new release Chocolate Lilly at the Norman Rothstein Theatre on Saturday, May 24th Recently one journalist wrote "Once you hear her name, you’ll likely remember it. Once you hear her music, you’ll make a point of it."  One of the best-selling Indie recording artists around, her music has been described as honest, rootsy and real, fitting powerful stories to thoughtful music with craftswomanlike precision. Experiencing her engaging personality in concert is a treat, and discovering her playful and keen sense of humour is always a delight.

 

The Vancouver based singer, songwriter and guitarist has drawn comparisons to such diverse talents as Lucinda Williams, Shawn Colvin, Sheryl Crow and Chrissie Hynde but this is one diamond who shines with her own kind of light.  Babe has opened for Amanda Marshall, J. Gaines & The Soul Attorneys, Cowboy Junkies, Colin Hay (Men at Work), Barney Bentall and the Grapes of Wrath and a recent 5 star review said; “A Gem - Babe’s melodies are captivating and one of "those" voices... Another Canadian winner!!  (James Williams, New Zealand).  Babe Gurr's name is becoming familiar to many more fans each day, people who appreciate finely crafted songs performed with sincerity. 

 

Babe will be performing tonight with her 6-piece acoustic band, some of Vancouver’s finest musicians – Lee Worden (guitar, dobro, vocals), Tom Neville (violin, mandolin, guitar), Lisa Simons (stand up bass, trombone, vocals), Nick Apivor (piano, percussion), Elliot Polsky (drums, percussion) - this is a concert not to be missed!
