Thank you to our raffle prize donors:
Our annual spring fundraising concert brings together many of Winnipeg's best musicians to help raise funds for our upcoming concert season. This year, four of Winnipeg's favourite band, Leaf Rapids, Sheena & Daniel of Red Moon Road, French Class, and Bloc Parents come together for a night of fantastic music.
This evening will also include a 50/50 raffle (LGCA 3864-RF-43608) and door prizes (LGCA 3864-RF-43609) from Eadha Bakery Worker Co-op, Little Brown Jug, the Manitoba Opera, Prairie Sky Books, the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra, and Winnipeg Pro Wrestling.
LEAF RAPIDS
The project Leaf Rapids is Keri Latimer’s (previously from JUNO recipients, Nathan) opportunity to croon about vultures circling their prey, barbershop stabbings, and love letters from smallpox quarantines in her disconcertingly sweet voice. Their sound has been described as ‘Cinematic Folk’ and includes the eerie sound of the theremin. Add in a stellar band: Chris Dunn (Ridley Bent) on guitar, Devin Latimer on bass, and Joanna Miller (Scott Nolan, Corin Raymond) on drums and backup vocals and you’ve got a sonic treat not to be missed.
Their latest album, Citizen Alien was released in May 2019 to critical acclaim and has been charting steadily on the Canadian National Earshot Roots/Blues Chart with the number 1 position for June and July. In 2019 they toured Germany and Netherlands and performed at 7 Canadian summer music festivals.
SHEENA & DANIEL
Sheena and Daniel play music together. A lot. Usually with yet another Daniel in a trio called Red Moon Road. Not this time though. This time it's a power duo. What could that even sound like? Come find out.
FRENCH CLASS
French Class is an electronic dance pop project led by Megumi Kimata, a beat maker based out of Winnipeg. A festival favourite, French Class makes you want to put on fresh sneakers, grab your friends and get on the dance floor. Megumi works in collaboration with Tiana Garcia bringing her jazz influenced vocals.
BLOC PARENTS
Fronted by members of Novillero and The Sorels, and rounded out by two Windups/Telepathic Butterflies, Bloc Parents had their start as a one-off tribute to LA band X. Self-penned tunes that subscribed to that same male/female vocal dynamic eventually followed. A Mod/Powerpop foundation stone thrown into a post-punk well.
