Thank you Katie Malloch! →
music.cbc.ca
We were surprised and happy to learn that Katie Malloch used a track off of our CD during her appearance on the CBC Radio show Shift, hosted by Tom Allen! Katie was asked to compile four great tunes that say a lot about her career, her taste, and her generosity. One of those tunes was Tim’s “Crosstalk”. Also on the link is the video that CBC shot of us last December at the Rex. Check the link!

Good times...
Well, the gig on Dec. 14th was a lot of fun! Barry Elmes was on fire, the horns sounded great, rhythm section as well! It was a bit stressful having cameras around, more mics than usual, but it had a great time anyways! Thanks to The Rex for having us and being great as usual. Can’t wait to see the film footage and hear the recording!
Next gig! CBC Recording!
Hi All,
We are getting ready for our next gig… and a good one it shall be! We have a special guest in the form of drummer Barry Elmes! Barry, as many of you may know, is a Canadian jazz icon who has performed with many of the best jazz musicians in the world. A couple of us were introduced to his music and drumming some fifteen years ago on Vancouver Island when we were just starting out in this crazy world of jazz. We loved his group and playing back then, and still do today. Ryan and Alex had a chance to play with Barry on a weekly basis in 2010, and since then wanted to incorporate Barry into one of their groups.
Come and check us out on Wednesday, December 14th at The Rex Hotel, 194 Queen St. West. CBC will be recording AND filming our performance!
Thanks!

Upcoming gig!!!
Hello everyone out in e-land,
It’s been a few weeks since The Cookers returned from the tour! We’ve been laying low and readjusting our bodies normal sleep patterns and familiar surroundings…
We have another show on the horizon in Toronto on June 2nd at The Rex Hotel at 6:30pm. We will be playing two sets of music, so come on down if you can, the cover charge is P.W.Y.C. You can also purchase our just-released CD from us, or if you miss the opportunity to interact with one the bandmates, you can buy it through CDbaby: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/cookers (we sold out of the CDbaby stock, but more should be there by the time the gig rolls around).
Anyways, come on down, listen to some music, have a pint and enjoy the (knock, knock) good weather!
