Daniel Lanois is a name that deserves to be mentioned alongside the finest sonic experimenters of the 20th century - and the 21st century too. Yes, he's been willing to step back into the background as others take the limelight, but that shouldn't diminish his contribution, which ripples throughout practically every style and sound of the modern era.
The Lanois Trio all started on the outskirts of Berlin in a small chapel: Soaring 3-part harmony with his mates Jermaine Holmes on drums and vocals, the mighty Jim Wilson on bass and vocals, Daniel Lanois on guitar and vocals. "The chapel acoustics were such that the vocals sounded beautiful, we chose to keep our instruments quiet and let the vocals fill the night".
"The more I travel, the more it all bleeds together, record making, radio, Internet, TV, festivals, life itself and of course singing. The original instrument, that being the voice, is alive and will in this trio configuration.” - DL

Whatever you're listening to - whether it be acoustic or electronic, roots or futurist, underground or pop - if you listen closely, you'll hear traces of the sonic signatures of Daniel Lanois. And what's more he's still experimenting as eagerly as he ever has. At a point when most musicians with anything resembling his level of success would be resting on their laurels and playing on old successes, he still has more hunger for the new than people a third his age, and as a result is creating music as beautiful and new as ever before.
“The road is calling as the music keeps on guiding me through the labyrinths of song, messages and inventions”. As his music rides the airwaves, the Daniel Lanois Trio continues to troubadour their way to the stage for that exchange they all love: LIVE PERFORMANCE. Don't miss out on this special event.

Oak View Group, operators of the Tribute Communities Centre, announce the return of Touch-a-Truck. Oshawa Power presents this year's 11th annual Touch-a-Truck event which will be on Friday, August 22 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Durham and Northumberland. This free community event will be hosted outside and around the Tribute Communities Centre and is a fun, hands-on event that allows children of all ages to get up close and personal with more than 40 vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Children will love the interactive displays and the opportunity to learn about vehicles from the drivers.
"Touch-a-Truck is a unique event that allows children and families to learn and make memories together," said Oak View Group's William Balfour, Assistant General Manager of Tribute Communities Centre. "The vehicle and community partners’ support over the years have been critical in the success of this event which has generated over $36,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Durham and Northumberland since inception. You’ll be able to feel like a kid again and join us for a day of excitement, community, and giving back!"
While admission to the event is complimentary for all community members, Oak View Group encourages attendees to contribute whatever they can to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Durham and Northumberland at one of their booths. Guests can also indulge their taste buds with our charity BBQ, as we gather to make a difference. While Touch-a-Truck offers free entry, certain activities such as face painting and the BBQ, may involve nominal fees.
Vehicle and community partners for this year’s event are listed below.
Don't forget Kars on King is also happening on Friday, August 22 in downtown Oshawa!
