Skin & Bones Experimental Music Series // Rebecca Bruton and Rachel Mercer

For the 41st instalment of the Skin and Bones Music Series, we bring you composer and instrumentalist Rebecca Bruton as well as local songsmith Rachel Mercer!

Rebecca Bruton is an experimental composer, improviser, vocalist, violinist, and guitarist hailing from Calgary, Alberta. For this concert Rebecca will perform a solo guitar and voice version of acclaimed Toronto composer Martin Arnold’s chamber work Tam Lin, a 40 minute beautifully introspective reinvention of the legendary Scottish ballad of the same name.

Rachel Mercer is a multifaceted visual, performative, and musical artist, wielding her ukulele with mastery as both a vocalist and songwriter. She has been making music for over a decade, crafting innovative and original compositions with vocal looping, and performing in local Goth country/punk dirge band The Civil Dead.

Doors open at 7:30 pm and the concert will begin at 8:00 pm. Admission is $15, or $10 for students and Alternator members.

This concert is made possible through the partnership between the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art and the Inner Fish Theatre Society, producers of Kelowna’s annual Living Things International Arts Festival, and frequent collaborators with both the Alternator and Skin And Bones.
