Pat Temple & the HiLO Players in Humboldt

LIVE ROCKABILLY! GREAT MUSICIANSHIP!! Arts Humboldt and Reel Attractions are thrilled to be bringing back to you this great Southern Ontario act in the comfort and great acoustics of the Reel Attractions Theater’s stage!

Pat Temple & the HiLO Players bring their Rockabilly/Western Swing/Gypsy Jazz stylings back to Humboldt on Monday, April 15.

The music starts at at 7:30 p.m. The theater’s regular concession (theater popcorn + newly added concession treats!) will be open before and during the show.

Tickets are available online at Eventbrite (https://temple-humboldt.eventbrite.ca/) and are $20 each (price includes online processing fee). All ages welcome.

Pat Temple is from Reaboro, ON, about 150 km northeast of Toronto. He and the HiLO Players made their first appearance in Humboldt in April, 2017 and returned in 2018. Temple’s music is a blend of Western Swing, Jump Blues, Rockabilly, and Roadhouse Soul. He has over 30 years of performing experience, including his 90’s cult hits ‘Salamander Bones’ and ‘Playin’ Havoc With My Heart’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx6eAIo0NBw). The combination of swinging music and a sweet theater venue creates a wonderful live experience!

Pat Temple always has a great cast of HiLO Players. He has been called the Ronnie Hawkins of Folk music, and he always attracts fantastic sidemen. For this tour he is once again bringing some of the best.

Spencer Evans, from Kingston Ontario, has performed and recorded with Pat Temple for 30 years. He also toured with Sarah Harmer and the Cowboy Junkies. Spencer is a multi-instrumentalist, playing clarinet, accordion, and keyboards. He’s an incredibly infectious performer and always brings it to every show!

Rob Foreman, from Peterborough Ontario, has recorded and performed with Pat for 5 years. Just like Pat, he returns to Humboldt where he’s made many friends the past few years. Foreman is rapidly gaining traction as a session stand up bass player and also fronts his own band called the “Quick Shifters”. Keep your eyes out for that one, there’s a great record in the can.

Pat Temple continues to tour, record, write, and perform his own unique brand of toe-tapping music. Presently he is working on his seventh album, and is excited to share some of his new tunes with his fans across Canada. Pat loves to be out on tour, talking to people, and gaining inspiration for his music.

Pat always puts together incredible shows, but he himself admits that this musical line up is one of the best . Don’t miss it!

Arts Humboldt has had the great fortune of being able to bring a wide variety of shows to Humboldt in the past few years. Many people are starting to take notice, are stopping us to say “thanks!”, and are taking advantage of not having to travel to the “big city” to see the acts we are bringing in (these are the same acts that hit the clubs in Toronto and Vancouver and points along the way). Arts Humboldt thanks you all for your support!
