*************************
Acclaimed Canadian-based guitarist, composer, and producer Jesse Cook will include Sault Ste. Marie in his Beyond Borders tour this March. In support of his latest album Beyond Borders, Cook will make a stop at the Sault Community Theatre Centre on March 31, 2019.

Living up to the album’s title, the JUNO Award-winning musician’s latest record explores a sonic landscape unfettered by geography, ethnicity and musical styles, to forge a unique world music hybrid which Cook has become famous for. Beyond Borders is, however, the most sonically diverse and distinctive disc in Cook’s vast and varied catalogue, which has earned him more than 10 Juno nominations over the years. This all-new show is a must-see for his legion of fans, featuring his new music mixed with a collection of old favourites.

Cook has recorded nine studio albums thus far, three live DVDs, two PBS TV specials, and has travelled the world exploring musical traditions that he has blended into his style of uplifting rumba flamenco.

In addition to headlining concerts and festivals, he has appeared on the same stage with B.B. King, Ray Charles, and Diana Krall. He has also performed with Welsh soprano Charlotte Church on NBC’s Tonight Show, and toured with the popular Irish band, The Chieftans. He has sold over 1.5 million albums worldwide.

Tickets for Cooks performance are $45 (plus fees and taxes) and go on sale Wednesday, June 20 at 11 a.m. Tickets are available at the Sault Community Theatre Box Office in the Station Mall, by calling 705-945-7299, or online.
