SUMMARY:Barracuda
DESCRIPTION:Barracuda are from Vancouver BC\, the city where Heart was fully formed and recorded their first two albums. Combining all of Heart’s greatest hits from rockers to ballads but also covering Led Zep material which Heart did and still does. In fact they were nicknamed Little Zep. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLed by four octave powerhouse vocalist D.L. Car; who is an Ann Wilson purist vocally and she also plays flute and acoustic guitar. Both Roger Fisher\, Heart’s original lead guitarist and co-songwriter\, and his brother Michael\, Heart’s sound -tech\, manager and Ann’s boyfriend who the song Magic Man was written about have both gone on record stating that D.L. Car is vocally the closest to Ann Wilson they have ever heard and they have seen many! Roger has made guest appearances with Barracuda many times over the past 10 years. \nBarracuda searched far and wide for a perfect Nancy Wilson persona\, and found the perfect candidate in Sarah Moon who resides in Portland OR\, Sarah brings her musical talents along with a physical presence to the stage.

SUMMARY:Heather Menzies - Meeting My Treaty Kin: A Journey Toward Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:Learning with Syeyutsus Speaker Series \nJoin us in conversation with Heather Menzies\, a settler Canadian who shares a personal\, intimate story of her journey and steps toward reconciliation\, revealing the rich potential that comes from learning to listen and change – decolonization — not as to-do list\, but as a lived experience of taking one awkward step at a time. The conversation will weave lived experiences and stories to illuminate a path settlers could take to better understand and engage in treaty relationships from the personal to the institutional changes required to champion authentic reconciliation.
