Group led by Ukr. violinist Vasyl Popadiuk performs tonight in Regina

PAPA DUKE featuring violin virtuoso VASYL POPADIUK,
Live at The Exchange - Regina, SK
Thursday, April 26, 2007 – 8pm

Apriil 26, 2007 -- Chad Guy Productions Inc. in co-operation with Double A Entertainment Inc. proudly present five-piece gypsy world-fusion group PAPA DUKE in a cabaret-style concert at The Exchange on Thursday April 26th, 2007 at 8 PM. Led by world-renowned violin virtuoso Vasyl Popadiuk, the group brings its brand of infectious Eastern European gypsy music to the Regina area for the first time ever.

Having recently finished post production on its first one hour TV special taken from its four sold out performances at the Montreal Jazz Festival this past summer, Papa Duke is embarking on its first tour of western Canada including this performance in Regina. The show features a stunning blend of traditional and original songs in a fusion of jazz, classical, & pop styles with incredible musical performances by Vasyl and his superbly talented players. Vasyl has just returned from yet another sold out performance at the Nazarov Music Theatre in Moscow.

Originally from Ukraine, Vasyl Popadiuk is no stranger to Regina having performed here solo with several Ukrainian dance groups and as a special guest to Mediterranean guitarist Pavlo (who has called Vasyl “a modern day Paganini!”).

With a built-in following for Vasyl’s trademark style of ‘extreme’ violin playing, Papa Duke Live at The Exchange (2431 8th Ave, Regina, SK) is bound to sell out, so get your tickets early to see this amazing performance!

Tickets available at the Conexus Arts Centre Box Office.
