Holm, one of the mose decorated female boxers and kickboxers of the past decade poses a serious threat. Don't miss this live broadcast, November 14th only at the Avalanche Bar & Grill in Courtenay.

A biologist, a chemist, and a statistician are out hunting. The biologist shoots at a deer and misses five feet to the left. The chemist takes a shot and misses five feet to the right. The statistician yells, “We got ‘em!” A guy asks a lawyer what his fee is. “I charge $250 for three questions,” the lawyer says. “That’s awfully steep, isn’t it?” the guy asks. “Yes,” the lawyer replies, “Now what’s your final question?”

With nearly a century of music making between them, Doug Cox and Sam Hurrie are avatars of the kind of music that makes you want to tap your toes, clap your hands and shout for joy. At the height of their powers, these musical “old souls” honed their skills during a lifetime of playing and performing. As is so often the case, their musical pilgrimage began while they were just in their teens.

Doug Cox & Sam Hurrie Wednesdays at the Cumberland Hotel, 7:30 PM. When they met in Powell River in the 1990s, they felt an instant musical connection. “The music we instinctively wanted to play was blues oriented, but came from the perspective of guys who grew up in the world of rock ‘n’ roll,” says Doug. Together, they toured all over Canada and Europe. For years, they had a weekly gig in Comox and recorded a few stellar CDs, leaving behind a rich musical legacy and many memories for those lucky enough to have seen their inspired live shows. With rich tone, discipline and passion, there is a real chemistry between the two men, and a flowing spirit of collaboration as they perform a mix of originals and classic blues invigorated with fresh ideas and superlative technique.

Yellowpoint Christmas Spectacular! Dec. 8th & Dec. 9th The Yellowpoint Christmas Spectacular heads into it’s ninth season! Eight years ago, Katy Mayert relocated to the Comox Valley where she was welcomed by an incredibly vibrant and supportive artistic community. In the valley, the Yellowpoint Christmas Spectacular enjoyed several successful seasons at the Old Church Theatre before it ventured over to the Sid Williams Theatre. The show has grown over the past few years into a production that is unique and has become a special holiday tradition for thousands of people annually across central Vancouver Island. This year’s singing and dancing spectacular includes hits by the Beach Boys, a Rock of Ages medley, Bobby Darrin songs, songs from Grease and Moulin Rouge, a Canadiana set as well as many more classical hits and Christmas favorites. Two weeks before the show opens, a cast of 14 professional singers, dancers and musicians will begin an intensive two-week rehearsal period in preparation for opening night. “It takes a year of planning to bring this show to the stage but it’s worth every minute” says creator, Katy. The show is fast moving, and colorful with dazzling costumes, lights and sequins. It takes you on an emotional journey through a wide variety of music and dance from rock & roll to Broadway, jazz and classical.
