    COMING UP @ THEATRE COLLINGWOOD

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    We are thrilled to present Johannes Linstead: From Spain to Cuba, a VERY EXCITING concert at New Life Church on Saturday, January 11th at 3 pm. 

    Johannes Linstead is considered one of the greatest Spanish guitar players ever! We will feature him and his amazing band in this one-show-only event. Tickets would make a great Christmas present or just a wonderful way to warm your heart in January! Tickets will sell fast so please go online or call the office at 705-445-2200 to purchase your tickets today.

    Johannes’ music follows the journey of the guitar, from the exotic sounds of the Mediterranean to the colourful rhythms of the Caribbean. Accompanied by spicy Latin percussion, grooving bass, and soulful accordion, Johannes will set the stage aglow with his Spanish guitar magic! He was named Canada’s “Guitarist of the Year,” has won eight “Best Album” awards, seven top-ten US Billboard charting albums, and was inducted into the L.A.-based Akademia “Hall of Fame”. Johannes Linstead has become recognized internationally as one of the bestselling guitarists in the Instrumental, Latin Jazz and World Music genres. We are so lucky to have him coming to Collingwood!

    Chances are even if you don’t know the name you’ve heard his music. Johannes’ songs have been used in some of the most popular TV shows, such as Miami Housewives, Californication, The Following with Kevin Bacon, Burn Notice, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, Pawn Stars, Person of Interest, and many others. World champion figure skater Stephane Lambiel used Johannes’ song “Zabuca” as part of his choreography during the Winter Olympics, and several of Johannes’ songs were featured in the hugely popular video games Tropical 4 and 5. In December 2019, Johannes’ holiday song, Tropical Christmas, became a verified hit on US radio, charting at #1 for two weeks as the “Most Added” song on the Top 40 New Music Weekly chart, and #1 “Most Increased” song.
