(Niagara Falls, ON) – It was a Saturday night filled with music, storytelling and laughter – courtesy of Jay Semko – at the Seneca Queen Theatre in downtown Niagara Falls.
Semko, best known as the singer and bass player for Canadian band Northern Pikes since 1984, played for close to three hours – two sets which included familiar Northern Pikes hits plus numerous songs from his solo career (his solo albums outnumber Northern Pike albums).
The crowd was very small, around 100 people scattered throughout the theatre. But that didn’t discourage anyone there, including Semko, from having a great time. Fans were treated acoustically to such hits as She Ain’t Pretty, Girl With A Problem, Things I Do For Money, Wait For Me, Hopes Go Astray, Teenland and the title track to his latest album Flora Vista. Semko did not disappoint and was well-received by those in attendance.
Semko hinted afterwards he may be back in the area this summer touring with the Northern Pikes. Seneca Queen Theatre would be a great venue for them. If this happens, I hope the venue fills to capacity next time Semko is in town.
Seneca Queen Theatre will be hosting numerous tribute acts plus The Spoons on March 21 and Rik Emmett (ex-Triumph) on May 2. For more information visit Seneca Queen Theatre online.
Special thanks to Jay Semko for making this an enjoyable and memorable night!
