1ST ANNUAL 420 FEST
A vibrant celebration of cannabis culture in the Eastman Region!
We are pleased to host the 1ST ANNUAL 420 FEST at Moon Gate Guest House on the banks of the Whitemouth River!
Headlining the evening's festivities is Winnipeg-based duo TWIN!
Captivating North American audiences by road and by river for the past 10 years, TWIN has developed a sound unto themselves ranging from deeply hypnotic folk story telling to heavy hitting punk anthems and everything in between!
"TWIN creates a vast array of music, TWIN is intense, TWIN is intimate, TWIN absorbs then releases everything it comes in contact with." Matt Vend, Mahala South African
Land-marking an international canoe tour concert series, with 4 full length albums and a growing catalogue of EPs and live videos, TWIN is always sharing songs and stories of the places they've been and the places they're going to.
"Similar to Bob Dylan’s trademark Never-ending Tour 'hypno-alt-folk' act Twin perpetually travels by canoe across the rivers of North America..." Seamus Hamilton-Pattison, Stylus Magazine
Their vision is to create a river tour 'network' across North America and beyond bringing people back to the water to celebrate and heal. The 'tour' is a call to gather at the river's edge to share music, stories, food, seeds and ideas. The 'armada' is an open venue for sharing information and heritage heirloom seeds so that we can learn to become more self-sufficient, protect our food sovereignty and retain the knowledge of land-based peoples.
The tour promotes the Urban Seed Bank initiative and TWIN's River Music Armada Seed Share / Elder's Project.

At the end of 2018, Twin released "We Rise and Dance We Sleep and Dream". Songs swing from sweet to savage, with a heaviness that is hard to shake but still cathartic.
This record continues to situate while stretching TWIN's genre defying style featuring banjo, flute, accordian, guitar, cello, samples and integrated harmonies. Tracks 5 and 6 mark the greatest departure with heavy drums, distortion/wah bass assaults and an amped up looping violin that will leave you short of breath!
"We acknowledge this album was created within Anishinabe territory" TWIN, December 25, 2018.
