SUMMARY:Women in Blues
DESCRIPTION:Miss Emily – a 2022 Juno nominee – will be joined on stage by a backing band that features some of Canada’s most sought-after blues & soul musicians. Since 2019\, Miss Emily has brought the house down at venues across Canada\, the US\, the United Kingdom and Europe. Now she’s coming to Sidney with a show that will include the new album start-to-finish as well as fan favourites and a few special surprises. In a year which featured a Juno nomination\, a second Maple Blues Female Vocalist of the Year award and an International Songwriting award – this is a not-to-be-missed event. \nJeanie Thai… she writes and sings tough and tender ballads\, direct from her heart to yours. There’s a new album\, Night on Fire\, with a sold out show at Toronto’s Hugh’s Room and — while she now calls Toronto home — she lives on the road\, and there’s dust on her shoes\, love in her heart\, and a whole lot of music in her soul.

SUMMARY:St Paul's presents – West My Friend
DESCRIPTION:In the modern musical landscape\, it’s rare to hear something as put-together as Cascadian folk duo West My Friend – something so layered\, deeply symphonic\, baroque\, and mysterious in its own winking way while still courting an edge of disaster. Simple is safe\, but complex is fiery\, intricate\, and ultimately more rewarding. Steeped in the visual styles of western Canada\, West My Friend are veterans of the Victoria music scene and recently released their Independent Music Awards-nominated fourth album “In Constellation”. On this latest work\, they continue to refine the art of creating achingly poignant folk music\, only this time\, they’re backed by a full symphony orchestra\, heavily layered while remaining lighthearted. Intricate yet accessible. Melancholic yet optimistic.\nMingling grassroots guitar\, accordion\, orchestral instruments\, and interweaving harmonies\, In Constellation (produced by Joby Baker\, co-produced and arranged by Adrian Dolan) is punctuated by musings on anxiety and belonging. Song structures vary and dynamics change from moment to moment\, painting powerful lyrical portraits over backgrounds of violins and trumpets that swell\, collapse\, and tumble between bold harmonies. With over 700 performances and countless tours under their belt\, West My Friend is bringing forth a new sound you’ve never known you’ve wanted and new meaning to the things you’ve never known you needed.\nGuitar\, Vocals / Eden Poynter.  Accordion\, Vocals / Jeff Poynter\nDoors open at 1:30pm.\nTickets: $25. Seniors & Students under 18yrs: $20. Available from the church office\, Tanner’s Books (cash or cheque only) or online. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/st-pauls-presents-west-my-friend-tickets-643404549327?aff=oddtdtcreator \nWebsite: www.westmyfriend.com\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/westmyfriend\nTwitter: www.twitter.com/westmyfriend\nInstagram: www.instagram.com/westmyfriend
