KINNIE STARR ON STAGE
Provocateur, rapper, and singer – poet, pundit, speaker, songwriter/producer and beat maker. Kinnie Starr is a woman of many talents; a trusted guide and fearless explorer. The Juno award-winning producer has been creating raw, intuitive material for nearly 20 years, and now she is thrilled to share her latest offering. 'From Far Away' (via Aporia Records). Set for release on September 30th, the 10‐song album sees the Sechelt, BC-based artist continue to cross genres, straddling the lines between folk, rap, art‐pop and poetry. Have a listen to the infectiously poppy single, Summer Day, and don’t miss her on tour across Canada this fall. http://kinniestarr.ca/

JANET PANIC ON STAGE (8:45pm)
Janet Panic is a Bohemian-Métis pop artist born to two academics but went her own way — into a life of music. Based in Sechelt, BC, she is now an award-winning singer-songwriter with three solo albums under her belt, several new songs and TV appearances on major Canadian networks. Her latest full-length, Most of What Follows Is True, is having success, yielding placements on TV shows such as Arctic Air and leading to performances on the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation awards, the Aboriginal People Choice Awards and various APTN programs. http://www.janetpanic.net/
