Balkan
Sear-Kuss Village Concert Serbian Flood Relief Event June 20,2014 at 7pm
Plan to attend the first ever "Balkan Sear-Kuss Village Concert" featuring
the Lemon Bucket Orkestra and Lika Orkestra. Simply put, these groups are a mix
of Balkan-Klezmer-Gypsy-Party-Punk-Super Mix of Balkan music smacked with the
fun and frolic of Balkan Culture!
From Toronto to New York, Budapest to Berlin,
audiences around the world are hailing the Lemon Bucket Orkestra as folk music
revolutionaries. This 15 piece guerrilla force has an army of followers and
fans both at home and abroad.
Those discovering the band for the first time
quickly realize that their shows are more than concerts; they’re wild, joyful
experiences rarely contained for walls; they’re celebrations of tradition and
culture expressed with an explosive punk spirit; they’re ecstatic street
parades that erupt from the collision of nostalgia and imagination.
The Lemon
Bucket Orkestra made headlines (such as CNN, CBC, Fox News and CTV), on their
way to Romania for a three-week tour, when they played an impromptu concert on
a delayed Air Canada flight. In September 2013, the band was nominated in four
categories at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. In February 2014, Lemon Bucket
Release of Lume, Lume was nominated for a Juno Award in the category of
"Best World Music Album" In March 2014, the band was nominated for an
Indie Award by Indie88 for "World Artist/Group or Duo of the Year".
This will be the first appearance for the Lemon Buckets in the Windsor Essex
Area. A FREE Dance Workshop will be provided by the Lemon Buckets at the
