54 | September/October 2017 he’s the author of often political hits such as If I Had A Rocket Launcher and Lovers in a Dangerous Time (covered by Barenaked Ladies). But Cockburn is also a superb and inventive guitarist. Go, listen. Jann Arden (Sanderson Centre, 5 Brantford, Sunday, October 8, 8 pm, $68.00/$58.00). One of our best-loved singersongwriters, and with good reason. Arden’s warmth, intelligence and charisma come through in everything she does. She’s more than just the performer of hits like Could I Be Your Girl and Insensitive. Arden is also an author Jann Arden (three books), CBC broadcaster, in-demand speaker and philanthropist. A real charmer. The New Pornographers with Born 6 Ruffians (London Music Hall, Wednesday, October 11, 7 pm, $27.50). Critical darlings The New Pornographers have been hitting charts and media reviewers’ best lists for two decades. Billing themselves as a collective of singer-songwriters, all of whom do other Barenaked Ladies 7 Barenaked Ladies: Canada 1-five-0 (Sanderson Centre, Brantford, Thursday, October 12, 8 pm, $60/$50). Has it really been three decades since BNL came along? The Ladies, now without co-founder Steven Page and Andy Creeggan, still play hits like If I Had A Million Dollars and One Week. They’ve released 15 studio albums in all, sold more than 14 million copies, and garnered multiple Juno awards and Grammy nominations. They’re a national treasure. So why do Londoners have to drive to Brantford to see them? 8 Diego Figueiredo (Sanderson Centre, Brantford, Monday, October 16, 8 pm, $30). You may not know the Brazilian jazz/classical guitarist, but take it from us, Diego Figueiredo The New Pornographers stuff, the band plays high-energy power pop. This is their only stop in the region. Figueiredo is worth the hour drive. A prolific recording artist (more than 19 albums), winner of the prestigious Montreux Jazz Competition and a peripatetic touring musician, his style is smooth, his technique impeccable. Not to be missed. (But don’t take our word for it, check him out here on YouTube: goo.gl/RfvU17.) The Penderecki String Quartet 9 (Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber Music Society Music Room, 57 Young St. W., Waterloo, October 21, 8pm, $40, students $25). One of the jewels in Canada’s classical music crown, the Pendereckis are celebrating

Since their first date at the Music Room in 1987, they’ve recorded almost 30 albums, ranging from the great classics – their latest album is Beethoven’s great quartet in A minor – to challenging modern composers. If you enjoy chamber music, this is a signal event. Blackie and the Rodeo Kings 10 (Aeolian Hall, Thursday, October 26, two evening shows, $50/$55). The last time BatRK played a packed Aeolian Hall two years ago, they gave a gem of a concert and brought the house down.
