Coffee...
On the edge of a winter storm ...
Fiftieth Parallel
(Jonathan Hinds & Philip Marchand)
www.facebook.com/fiftiethparallel ... played up a storm of the wild
and wonderful kind. People told us they were good, but that isn’t true.
Hinds & Marchand are
beyond good. There has been a lot of talent through this coffee shop
these past few months ... but no
one has left the place echoing like
Fiftieth Parallel has. The hair on the neck of the Unknown
Musician is still horizontal.
www.CRShorelineArts.ca . We have their new CD,
Fiftieth Parallel – Weapon Of The
Future, for sale at
$15.00. All proceeds go to the artists.
Until Next Time ... From Everyone
at Nesbitt’s Island Coffee ...
Keep smiling through the winter storms ...
The first week of 2012 stepped out like a dance
step ... toes and fingers are still tapping ... thanks to
David Freeman

his special guest artist
John Bailey (known by
some as Campbell River’s
da Vinci)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bailey_studio . To
standing room only
David and
John blew the night
away. And yes, The Unknown Musician’s (
www.crshorelinearts.ca
) smiles still linger.
We are looking forward with excitement and
anticipation to an evening with
Fiftieth Parallel
http://youtu.be/vW0L45QJ4gk
on Saturday, January 21st. at 7:00 PM . Tickets are $10.00 each and can

Very Merry Christmas ...
A
Wild Time In A Loving, Peaceful, Positive Sense.
December 3, 2011
Kyell Erickson came, he sang, he
impressed. It was a wonderful evening with the windows fogged to the
ceiling and everyone really appreciative of Kyell’s original
compositions and his covers. For those who missed it ... think back to
when you were in grade eleven ... did you have the stuff to do a
successful solo gig for nearly two hours non-stop? Kyell will be back in
the coming year. Watch for this young man. Campbell River’s got talent.
Jazz
Vocalist/Keyboardist Ralph Barrat ...
www.RalphBarrat.com

specials and all sorts of downright fun and laughter. We will be open
until 11:00 PM - later if shoppers are still into a cup of some of the
best espresso, coffee and hot chocolate on The Island. If you haven’t
yet met Diane, take a break from
the shopping and festivities on Friday night...stop by say Hi.

Freeman & Hill
was one of those times when you wished the particular time would never
end. They took us on musical journey from today to yesterday to tomorrow
then back to today and then, unfortunately, the clock said the time had
to end. But did it really end?
The Unknown
Musician (www.CRShorelineArts.ca
) is still smiling. If you missed the mystical magic of Freeman & Hill
you may still be able to reserve a seat for their next concert on
December 4th at 1:00 PM at The Dolphins Resort (
www.DolphinsResort.com
) . Thank You
David &
Sussana for adding
Nesbitt’s Island Coffee to your fall tour schedule.

19th . Kevin has travelled the world and studied with some of
the great percussion jazz masters. You are in for one cool evening ....
but remember, although there is no cover or charge tips to the band will
be appreciated ...

Stop by Nesbitt’s at 1140 Shoppers Row, Campbell River or call
250-287-4887 to reserve your seat/s.
Just a
reminder that The Unknown Musician is

David Essig
( www.DavidEssig.com
) has played in many famous places around the world. Last night in
Campbell River at Nesbitt’s Island Coffee we experienced a world famous
performance in a relatively unknown place. David had the Unknown
Musician tapping his foot and the Tina Dickey abstracts (
www.Trillistar.com
) smiling and swaying on the walls. The rest of us ... we watched and
listened in awe and wonderment ... thank you David, thank you, thank
you.
This coming
Saturday – November 5th at 7:00 PM – Freeman & Hill will be
here. A few seats left – No Cover/ No Charge – don’t let the no charge
fool you. David Freeman is a world class song writer ...

Wow! If you
haven’t seen Nigel Nikolaisen’s full
performance ... track his next one down before the big cities steel him
away. The music gods be willing he will be back at Nesbitt’s in the New
Year.
A special thanks to the
Chamber Of Commerce for
blocking Shoppers Row from 11th to 12th
... it gave the evening sort of a red carpet
feel... without the carpet. The two guards posted at each end made
everyone feel extra special and safe.
Up next is
David Essig on October 29th.
Still a few tickets left ($15.00 each) and as always all ticket revenue
goes to the performing artist. David’s web site is
www.DavidEssig.com .
Sundays are poets and writers day at Nesbitt’s. If
you write and would like to read some of your work come on down. If all
you wish to do is discuss, debate, argue ... hey that’s fine too. No
specific time as all free spirits run on now time. Whatever time you get
here is the right time.
A
“Tip Of The Hat”
to all of our customers old and new and to all of
our neighbours on Shoppers Row for helping to make this location such a
fun place to be.
Until next
time
“the spirit dances in the heart of
the city”.

A special Thank You and
Tip Of The Hat to Ally
Choo for her wonderful performance last night. It was Ally’s first full
solo show and she left us mesmerized. A thank you to everyone who came.
We all realized we were sitting in on something very special. You know
.... some time from now we just may be thinking back to that tropical
night in a temperate zone in a crowed Nesbitt’s Island Coffee and saying
...
Do you remember when ...
David Essig will be here on October 29th from 8:00 PM to
11:00 PM ...
www.DavidEssig.com
. This promises to be another very, very special evening. Once again
advance tickets only ($15.00 each) with all ticket proceeds going to the
artist. More info soon at
www.NesbittsIslandCoffee.com/DontStayIn.html

We are starting a Paint It Black promotion.

or stop by the shop for more details. If you or someone you know is an
artist (oils, water colors, charcoal, etc.) let’s chat.
T’ill next time remember “You change your life when you change your mind.

August 2011
Our first month at 1140 Shoppers Row is part of
history ... thanks to everyone who has stopped by, grabbed a bagel,
sipped a cappuccino and made this spot in the heart of the city more fun
– more exciting.
The evening of August 1st. with
Two Sons Left was a load
of fun. Thanks to Slinger & Ringer and everyone who attended and helped
kick off our first night of live entertainment. More to come....watch
www.NesbittsIslandCoffee.com
for coming announcements. Of course news will be posted at 1140 Shoppers
Row.
Tina Dickey
... artist, author, lecturer ...
www.Trillistar.com
... has five of her paintings gracing our walls. The energy in the
building has been greatly enhanced in the short time they have been
here. It’s hard to explain, you have to spend some time in the room to
hear the silent music. Imagine this....the ground the building sits on
was filled with magic long
before
the explorers arrived. We have installed
ancient Chinese slate on the floors. Add the energy, the vibrations from
Tina’s
work and you have writer’s word floods and jams.
Speaking about words and writing we are getting
ready to set up some readings. Should you write, or know someone who
does, do
stop by.
If you’re lucky...stopping by might coincide with
John Bailey sketching from one of the sidewalk tables...you don’t know
John Bailey ... you must stop by...
Once again thank you to everyone helping us have a
hoot in the heart of the city.
Until next time ...
