Get Behind Me , Now Stay There Episode 37

Comedian – Jim Melis:

  
His persona is funny AND non-threatening unlike most comedians. He’s beyond their high school level of pseudo-comedy. Jim has wit and an off-beat point of view. He’s interesting and even when he’s poking fun at his family it’s without cruelty. He turns the “fun” on himself. That’s always endearing. His dancing is delectable as is his obvious great love for his wife…wonderful. The jokes again lie in his amazement that even when she’s being hit on by an Adonis, she always prefers HIM, her husband. AND none of this is saccharine! He has sweetness mixed with an almost nerdy quirkiness, while his sharp inner eye is making fun. We caught up with him in New York City.

Country Band – Western Avenue:

                     
For Nikki English, Keith Robertson and Matt Williams, music has been a driving force in their lives for as long as they can remember. Together since 2007, they are the members of Western Avenue, a contemporary country music band from central Ontario. The trio is heading out on a journey following their dreams. Western Avenue is winning over audiences with its new original music, including the catchy first single Highway Headin’ Out of Town, which has been picked up by Canadian country radio and is also available worldwide on iTunes. We talked with them in Canada.
