  • Marlaena Moore

     

    Originally hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, and currently based in Montreal. 

     

     

    Moore has become one of Canada’s preeminent songwriters and performers, rightfully recognized for a commanding, yet warmly engaging stage presence in tandem with her superbly crafted and emotionally direct – even disarmingly so, at times – brand of songwriting (to wit, Consequence of Sound praised her “powerful vocal range and sturdy songs…her music did more than charm.”). She’s shared stages with acts such as Angel Olsen, US Girls, and Jennifer Castle, and Exclaim! listed Moore as an “Artist To Watch” in 2020.

  • Levavi Live Art

     

    At its heart, “Levavi” is a celebration of spontaneity and vulnerability, inviting you to explore the depths of your own creativity while honoring the courage of the performers who offer themselves as vessels for collective expression.

    This interactive performance art experience is an invitation to connect, to create, to dissolve the boundary between audience and performer and to witness the profound beauty that emerges when art and humanity converge. Grab a  paintbrush and embrace your inner art-maker with us!

  • The Melawmen Collective

     

    A contemporary Indigenous alternative fusion woven together with elements of hip/trip-hop, rock/folk, righteous rhymes and rich harmonies, carried through with experience, manifestation, and visions of intergenerational stories of pain and healing.

     

     

    The Melawmen Collective brings a uniqueness to their sound like no other, drawing in a wide variety of listeners through sharing their own journeys of life through their musical evolution together. ‘Melawmen’ means medicine in the Secwepemc language, and the unceded territory of the Secwepemc People in what is now known as BC, is where co-founders Meeka Morgan (vocals, Secwepemc/Nuu-Chah-Nulth), Rob Hall (Vocals/Guitar ), Geo Ignace aka Geo The Voice (Vocals, Secwepemc/Cree), and Kiva Morgan-Hall (Vocals- Secwepemc/Nuu-Chah-Nulth), continue to grow. 

    The collective is honoured to be joined by Cass Gregg (Bass-Tŝilhqot’in/Scottish) and Victor Laso (Drums-Republic of Chile).

  • Old-time Barn Dance Workshop

     

    Capri Aspe spent 15 years performing in many dance styles before discovering Old Time Folk Dance in 2019.

     

     

    Blown away by the excitement and power of ordinary people moving together, she dove in headfirst and has been calling Old Time dances throughout the Cariboo region ever since.

    Swing your partner and take ’em home! Grab a friend and come on out for The Ultimate Social Dance Experience. The point of Barn Dance is to get a big group of people dancing together with as little instruction time as possible. We’ll learn a couple of basic moves and get dancing asap. Enjoy the same dances that people have been partying with at weddings, wakes, ceilidhs, barn raisings and more for 500+ years.
