Through ticket sales to their show at the Loft, Matt Warnock and special guest Roddy Ellias will be raising money to provide quality music education and experiences in the Sault through the Algoma Conservatory
“It was through [the late] Val Suriano’s jazz band at Sir James Dunn,” says Warnock.
“I graduated from the Dunn in 1998 and moved to Montreal to study jazz guitar performance at McGill,” he says. Warnock describes Ellias as one of the most successful jazz guitarists and composers in Canada and a “Canadian music icon.” “From there, I moved to Brazil to perform and teach, followed by Manchester, U.K., and then Tucson, Arizona,” he says.“I spent the first part of my career as a performer and University professor, playing over 2,500 gigs around the world. And in the last 10 years or so I’ve transitioned to running my online guitar school full time and performing fewer concerts per year.
“When I was thinking about getting a new guitar built this year I reached out [to Jubilee] and they put together a truly beautiful instrument that’s a joy to play. It’s the best guitar I’ve ever played, and I’ve played a lot of guitars. Jon Uebele and Keith Conway [a longtime friend of Warnock] at Jubilee do an amazing job building world-class instruments in our own backyard.”
