DID WE MENTION?

• It's one thing that Jaydee Bixby was the runner-up on Canadian Idol with millions of adoring fans or that he had legendary singer Paul Anka endorse his talent - "[Jaydee Bixby] has the type of talent that will keep him around for decades to come" - but quite another that his first album, Cowboys and Cadillacs (HRM/Fontana North), debuted at #1 on the Canadian country chart and #8 on the overall Canadian album charts. Not only that, but Jaydee's first single, "Old Fashioned Girl," jumped to #4 in its first week on iTunes' Top Country Songs and continues to steadily climb Canada's country air play chart to #17, up against staples like Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban. Cowboys and Cadillacs intertwines Bixby's inherent down home, twangy roots with a rock edge to create enduring country anthems. Jaydee will be making a triumphant return to the Canadian Idol stage on July 22nd. Tune in at 9pm EST to see why he's turning out to be an Idol in his own right.

In support of their debut album, Fall Among Thieves, Baskery will kick off their tour on July 24th in Toronto and sweep across the country to Calgary and Vancouver before heading back to Europe.

• Internet sensations The Imponderables are Canada's multi-award winning, history-making sketch comedy foursome with an absurdist sense of humour backed by nearly a decade of finely honed chemistry.

Find The Imponderables on July 24th and 25th at Just for Laughs: Club Series.
• Adam Growe's one man show "The Mom & Pop Shop" is a Toronto Fringe success! "The Mom & Pop Shop" takes place at a parenting resource centre, where people pretend it's possible to prepare for parenthood. Adam is called to cover for the prenatal teacher, but eventually he abandons the lesson plan and begins to impart his own unsubstantiated philosophies from the pulpit of parenting pedagogy. Everyone is surprised by what Adam delivers! The Toronto Star raves that it is "bursting with one man humour!" and Eye Weekly says "Growe gives a confident and hilarious performance (4 stars)."
• Simon Cotter, along with fellow comedian, Scott Harris, have created a new comedy show called "Baby Boomers The Show." A trip down memory lane, Cotter and Harris revisit the 50's, 60's and 70's: Ever make out at the drive-in? Listen to an eight track? Wear something tie-dyed? If you "loved Lucy" or "dreamed of Jeanie," then this is the show for you. After a successful appearance at this year's LOL Sudbury Comedy Festival, they'll be coming to a theatre near you soon!
• "The Jon Dore Television Show" will be premiering its 2nd season on the Comedy Network this fall.

In each episode, Dore fearlessly throws himself in the line-of-fire as he sets out to correct his faults and make all his "wrongs" right again. You can also catch Jon Dore headlining The Comedy Lounge tour starting in October.
