This isn&rsquo;t a concert.It&rsquo;s a piano s&eacute;ance in two acts.Bob Wiseman and Mike Boguski, two of Canada&rsquo;s most unpredictable keyboard minds are takingturns dismantling and reimagining what a solo piano set can be.&nbsp;One piano. Two artists. Zero cowboy hats.THE PLAYERS:BOB WISEMAN Founding member of Blue Rodeo. Punk pianist. Lo-fi provocateur. Think Monk meets Burroughs at a Toronto dive bar. Expect sound collage, biting satire, sonic left turns. Nothing&rsquo;s off limits.MIKE BOGUSKI Current Blue Rodeo pianist. Ambient soul explorer. A master of restraint and reverie. Piano as landscape. Melody as memory. Quiet storms and cinematic swells. Musical cliff jumping.THE NIGHT: Each artist takes the same piano and launches in opposite directions - solo, stripped down, wide open. One piano. Two deeply personal journeys. No safety net. No genre crutches. No rodeo.&nbsp;Come for the clash of styles. Stay for the communion. This is piano as protest, as prayer or as whatever they feel that night.&quot;Two Pianos, No Rodeo&quot; is for those who like their art live, unexpected and slightly dangerous. Think of it less like a show and more like two sonic postcards from different planets sent through the same piano. $30/ticket, volunteers get in free. Advance tickets will be available early May, and there will be some tickets reserved at the door. Email info (at) vallicanwhole (dot) com for more information.
