C.R. Avery at the Pearl Company

Posted on December 1, 2011 by Biljana| Leave a comment

Friday,  December 2nd. 8pm at the Pearl Company
Something very special is happening in Hamilton this Friday, the one and only C.R. Avery is performing at the Pearl Company. This is a show you do not want to miss out on. If you aren’t wise to C. R. Avery he is best described as an:  Outlaw Hip-Hop harmonica player, a beatbox poet, a punk piano player, a string quartet Raconteur, and a vocal mastermind. Avery is in a sense: a musical renaissance man.  C.R Avery is a dynamic and raw performer who gracefully slides from poetry to hip hop, from spoken word to rock and roll; a one man wonderband. In plain terms: he  simultaneously sings, beatboxes, plays the piano and the harmonica.  That is a lot of talent from one man.
C.R Avery plays the Pearl Company this Friday at 8pm.
Tickets are $15 at the door / $10 for artists/students.

First Friday of the month at 7 pm at Ferguson Station Pavillion

Did you know that Hamilton is one of the most diverse cities in Canada? Night in the Village celebrates this diversity on the first Friday of each month starting at 7pm. The street is filled with people looking to wine, dine, shop and explore the arts, all celebrated with an ‘international flair’.

There is usually live entertainment at the Ferguson Station Pavillion, while local businesses have their own spirit and offer sales/specials.  Even some of the galleries, including Arts Hamilton, Intolerant Gallery and Volunteer Hamilton  are open late for those art enthusiasts which helps create a vibrant night with a diverse community.

Make sure to come check out the international village and add them on facebook here.
