He continues to evolve as an artist by “doing it his way”, an effort that has been rewarded with an impressive song catalogue and a discerning loyal fan base.
Railtown Cultural Eclective is very pleased to announce Canadian icon Alfie Zappacosta will perform at the Annex to close their 2015/16 Trier Performance Series. This intimate concert is the only Metro Vancouver stop in a cross – country string of dates for Zappacosta’s No Avoiding Clichés Release Tour.
The multi-award winning singer-songwriter, famous for hits like We Should Be Lovers, When I Fall (In Love Again) and Overload (on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack) has mined the wealth of his extensive catalogue for this project. “This last record was done over a 45-year period of writing,” he says. “I chose only a handful of songs that give a pretty good cross-section of what I’ve been through.”
Though the tour concerts highlight the tunes from the new record he performs many of his hits in the intimate format in which they were written. The CD is coupled with a DVD of his “Live @ Festival Place” performance in Sherwood Park last year. Zappacosta was backed on this performance by a 15 piece “orchestra” made up of some of Canada’s finest session players.
