Lloyd Arntzen discovered Sidney Bechet by the way of 78 rpm records on the dusty plains of Saskatchewan eons ago, and brought this passion with him to the Pacific Coast. Meanwhile, in the remote Canadian North, Grant Simpson was honing his skills as a stride pianist in Whitehorse, Yukon. Lloyd and Grant met and the seed was planted that they wanted to play together as often as possible. Trumpeter Bria Skonberg and drummer Graeme Peters were added to the mix a little later - and when the circumstances are just right, guitarist Don Ogilvie is a welcome addition to the group, And thus, New Orleans North was born.
Canadian percussionists Anne - Julie Caron is recognized by the greatest masters of her field as one of the most remarkable
talents of her generation. Mainly recognized as a marimbist, Miss Caron's rapidly blooming career as an orchestral soloist,
chamber musician, and recitalist is causing her to be sought after both in Canada and abroad.
Everyone is welcome to see this beautiful musician perform. Tickets are available at the Shurniak Art Gallery, at the Arts Council office.
House of Doc was born after Matthew Harder, already a professional musician, clearly saw the potential in this remarkable family of musicans. Jesse Krause is the newest member of the Docs. Infusing musical inspirations such as Gordon Lightfoot, Simon & Garfunkel and Spirit of the West with intricate harmonies, sophisticated counterpoint and a down-home delivery, the band has captured its story with a rich and sensitive attention to detail.
A new feature, an adjudicated Quilt section is being added to the show this year.
Details on how to enter a Quilt and admission prices will be added at a later date.
