Unfortunately, Elise LeBlanc and Quin Etheridge-Pedden have had to cancel their scheduled feature at the VFMS this Sunday. In their place, we are thrilled to present a double feature with Gravitation and The Anishinaabe Mitchell Sisters
Gravitation is Bill Hamilton, Brad Hawkes, and Burke Rosen. These musicians have a synchronicity that attracts audiences. They are an acoustic trio grounded in Folk, Roots and Blues. Bill and Burke trade off vocal leads, harmonize and expertly work acoustic and electric guitars. Brad is the drummer for all seasons. They can hold your attention for hours, and you’ll be sorry when they need to pack up and go home!
The Anishinaabe Mitchell Sisters, Nancy and Sandee, are Anishinaabe from the Kebowek (pronounced ke-bay-owek) and Nippising First Nations. They grew up in North Bay, Ontario, and come from a large family of musicians. Their grandfather Fred Mitchell was a well loved fiddler and always encouraged music to be played. They have sweet sister harmonies and sing a variety of genres of music that includes: originals, Folk, Country, and Bluegrass. Nancy writes for the duo and brings Indigenous voice to some of the historical and current realities facing Indigenous people in Canada.
HUGE thanks to both groups for their willingness to feature with such short notice! Come one, come all -- you won't be disappointed!
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
