This isn’t a concert. It’s a piano séance in two acts. Highway 19 Concerts presents Bob Wiseman and Mike Boguski, two of Canada’s most unpredictable keyboard minds are taking turns dismantling and reimagining what a solo piano set can be. One piano. Two artists. Zero cowboy hats.Bob Wiseman is a punk pianist, lo-fi provocateur, and founding member of Blue Rodeo. Think Thelonious Monk meets William S. Burroughs at a Toronto dive bar. Expect sound collage, biting satire, sonic left turns. Nothing’s off limits.
Current Blue Rodeo pianist Mike Boguski is an ambient soul explorer. A master of restraint and reverie. Piano as landscape. Melody as memory. Quiet storms and cinematic swells. Musical cliff jumping.
Each artist takes the same piano and launches in opposite directions – solo, stripped down, wide open. One piano. Two deeply personal journeys. No safety net. No genre crutches. No rodeo.
Come for the clash of styles. Stay for the communion. This is piano as protest, as prayer or as whatever they feel that night.
“Two Pianos, No Rodeo” is for those who like their art live, unexpected and slightly dangerous. Think of it less like a show and more like two sonic postcards from different planets sent through the same piano.
The Highway 19 Concert Series is supported by the Province of BC through BC Arts Council and BC Live, and the Government of Canada’s Department of Canadian Heritage.
General admission tickets are $30 with a limited number available for $20 to be accessible for those with limited income. Youth tickets are only $5.
