Alexis Normand’s music has been recognized across Canada to critical acclaim. Formerly of Rosie & the Riveters, she now uses her velvety voice as the centerpiece of a candid and bilingual approach to the contemporary folk world. This evening Alexis will release Mementos – an album that explores the dualities of a francophone identity on anglophone soil.
Burnstick’s folk music is brimming with the kind of chemistry that could only come from a husband and wife duo. Nadia, a Francophone-Métis singer-songwriter, and Jason, a Plains-Cree guitarist, blend their voices and weave together the unique sounds of Weissenborns with intriguing vocal harmonies.
