AIRPLANE on the HIGHWAY
[tour announcement 2026/27]
•
Same pianist. Roads not on maps.
•
This is an encounter between a pianist and the invisible. Bob Wiseman, one of Canada’s most gloriously unpredictable keyboard operators, dismantles a solo piano recital and rebuilds it from spare parts and mild sabotage. One pianist, different weather systems.
•
Founding member of Blue Rodeo, PhD in improvisation. Producer of thirty albums. Composer of forty films. “Cease and desist” said Prince’s lawyers. Punk pianist. Lo-fi provocateur. Collage, commentary, beautiful disruptions. Imagine Keith Jarrett and Joni Mitchell fighting over the last chord.
•
Come for the collision of categories. Stay for accidental enlightenment.
•
AIRPLANE on the HIGHWAY is for people who prefer their art alive, mutating, and carrying minor legal risk.
•
Opening the evening is Brent Jones who creates soulful, atmospheric music that blends elements of folk, roots, jazz and contemporary songwriting. His performances move effortlessly between intimate, reflective pieces and more expansive, groove-driven music, with piano, voice and finely crafted arrangements at the centre.
