Ken Prue presents: Michal Hasek, Rodney St. Amand and Peter Hasek

Date/Time: Thursday, June 26, 2025 at 8:00 pm

Venue: Victoria Hall's Citizens Forum

I was a contemporary of Michal Hasek at the University of Western Ontario in the late 1960s. I was a bookish film buff. Michal was a 'celebrity photographer' for the University newspaper, a guitar-playing Blues man and a larger-than-life 'gadfly', always attacking intellectual orthodoxies.

Musically, Hasek was known for his finger-style guitar picking, blues harp, baritone singing and songwriting. In the 70s, he released two albums on his own label, Naja Records, featuring a mix of self-penned songs and blues standards with his band, Sundog and later achieved a distribution deal with A&M Records. He performed up and down Yonge Street and in clubs and bars around Canada. Also in the 70s, Michal toured solo in the US Midwest, performing in folk-blues bars and on US campuses. Michal met and hung out with spiritualist-philosopher Alan Watts (#3 in the triad of Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert (later Baba Ram Dass) and Alan Watts. Oh! The Stories !)

Although Michal has lived a 'straight workaday life' for the past few decades he has always held fast to music in an ever-evolving way. I mean it affectionately when I say "Michal Hasek is deeper than he seems."
