**Feature Performer: Genevieve & the Wild Sundays** www.wildsundays.ca

Soaring harmonies, catchy songs, original folk-roots music: this is Genevieve and the Wild Sundays. This all-female quartet features the award-winning songs of Vancouver-Island-based homesteading mama Genevieve Charbonneau.

The music of the Wild Sundays is rooted in folk and old-time country, incorporating bluegrass rhythms, Americana, pop, and a whole lot more. Genevieve and Kelly Sherwin (upright bass/vocals) are long-time members of award-winning vocal ensemble Balkan Babes, singing traditional folk music of the Balkan region. Kelly also contributes a bluegrass sensibility (Flash in the Pan and Ain’t Dead Yet), while Laura Carleton (percussion/vocals) brings a background of choral music (Vancouver Island Chamber Choir) and West African percussion (Moondance Dynamic Arts). Chandra Crowe (mandolin/vocals) adds training in Greek, Turkish, Balkan and Middle Eastern music (Yiddish Columbia State Orchestra) into the mix. This eclectic training brings a fusion flavour to a predominantly old-time sound, with a focus on three- and four-part harmonies.

**Showcase Performers:

**Lily Born @ Night is Indie folk musician from Victoria, BC. with original songs inspired by love and travel. Lily's captivating voice takes you on a rich lyrical journey stretching from the heart of Folk Canadiana to what contemporary Indie can bring. www.facebook.com/lilybornatnight

**Murron Bradley has been playing guitar for 1 year. Within that time she has been learning old style cover tunes and learning to compose her own material. She will be performing one song of her own "We are as Simple as This" and in the second song showing off her lead guitar styles to some gypsy jazz rhythms played by Auto Jansz, her teacher and friend.


Host: Shauna Janz - www.shaunajanzmusic.com

Singer-songwriter Shauna Janz's unconventional approach and folk-soprano voice has awarded her quick recognition. Recently releasing a self-produced EP, her song Redwood has been nominated “Song of the Year” at the 2015 Vancouver Island Music Awards. Her indie-folk sounds are described as "lyrical, soulful, warm" and "stunning and memorable; a unique voice that combines folk with soul". With a fierce heart for creative expression, and an endearing stage-presence, audiences can expect fascinating guitar tunings, haunting melodies punctuated by driving rhythms, and set amongst both ethereal soprano sounds and strong spirited vocals.
