FEATURED ARTIST: DOC WALKER

With the November release of their third album, the five Manitoba boys of Doc Walker are stronger than ever. A steady cache of awards, nominations and accolades from earlier albums become fuel for the fire that blazes a trail for this unified group. Their self-titled new album offers up a catchy, upbeat mix of rock and pop country sounds with mass appeal. Relentless touring, tight performances and trademark harmonies define the band that has opened shows for such diverse acts as Terri Clark, Trooper and Crash Test Dummies. The release of the album (recorded in both Winnipeg and Nashville) coincides with the announcement of Doc Walker's cross-Canada tour with Dierks Bentley in January 2007. The video of their current single, Trying To Get Back To You, is currently in heavy rotation on CMT.

FEATURED STORY: PAQUIN GETS FUNNY

It's all smiles at Paquin Entertainment as the Agency proudly announces its immediate plans to delve into the world of comedy. The company's most recent expansion is the result of a new alliance between Paquin Entertainment and comedy experts, Diamondfield Entertainment. Paquin Entertainment will represent Diamondfield Entertainment's diverse live roster of comedic performers, whose resumes boast an impressive list of comedy festivals and television comedy programs such as CBC's Comics, Just for Laughs, The Red Green Show, and Train 48. Paquin Entertainment will also represent Comedy Lounge on Tour, sponsored by the Comedy Network, a touring show enjoyed by fans all across Canada.

Paquin Entertainment's new comedy division is a welcomed addition to the Agency's already-dynamic roster.

TAPEIRE
Choreographer and director James Devine holds the Millennium Guinness World Record as the fastest dancer that has ever lived. In their live show, TAPEIRE: Driven by Rhythm, Devine teams up with a multi-platinum-selling fiddle player, Ashley MacIsaac for a raw, exhilarating display of Celtic passion and original live music. Devine's unique style of Celtic Tap (a fusion of Irish dance with Rhythm Tap) has earned him critical acclaim worldwide. Irish tap, fiddle and drums combine masterfully with a unique live video mix to leave audiences gasping.

The Canadian Tenors
These incredibly accomplished young tenors have already charmed audiences across North America and Europe in their solo careers; now, they've joined forces to perform a wide range of music-from foot-stomping Canadian folk tunes, ballads, and musical theatre, to opera and popopera. With their classical training, dynamic sound and an accessible style they've been dubbed "Canada's newest musical ambassadors."
