Citizen Jane is a Canadian folk-pop duo that lovingly crafts songs about our society’s potential to evolve in the current political climate (though the occasional love song is inevitable).
The duo consists of married couple Reenie Perkovic (vocals, guitar, mandolin) and Lea Kirstein (viola, cello, vocals), who met while studying classical music on the west coast. The ladies have since made a home in Toronto’s vibrant
music scene, while continually touring across Canada and the States, with upcoming tours in Europe.
Percussive and lyrical bowed strings marry with rhythmically driven guitar and powerful, interwoven vocal harmonies to create a sound that is two parts daydream; one part grunge. Reenie and Lea spark a uniquely intimate connection with all audiences, and love including layered sing-alongs in their live performances.
April 7 ~ Citizen Jane
Veteran folkie and young keyboard ace join forces in an inter-generational smorgasbord of roots, blues, jazz and humour. Rick Scott and Nico Rhodes blur all boundaries. In a word, they cook!
Roots & GRooves is a musical dialogue, a duet for dulcimer and piano, a multi-genre conversation across the generations, featuring songs old and new spiced with mastery, mischief, and joie de vivre.
Forty years apart in age, veteran Pied Pumkin dulcimer maverick and classically trained pianist create music in the moment for the sheer joy of it. A few days after performing at Norway House in April 2017, they went into the studio and recorded a Roots & GRooves CD live from the floor in a single day. They have since performed over 80 shows around BC, bringing audiences to their feet from Victoria to Golden.
April 14 ~ Roots & GRooves
Claude Bourbon weaved his songs through the audience as if on a journey through life taking in different flavours of Europe and beyond. His Spanish medieval blues evolved into Gypsy, Eastern European, with a splash of Paco de Lucia, Delta Blues and more, holding audience attention under a musical spell.
It is very hard to describe the almost
endless amalgam of different influences in Claude’s playing, all melting into each other, as he moves from classical openings, across a whole continent of cultural roots, from the Balearics to the Balkans, and then across to the Mississippi Delta, and shoehorned into all that is music that would not have been out of place in the courts of Emperors and Kings.

“Highly evocative and intriguing” (fRoots, UK), the music of Ken Dunn “sneaks into your feet, heart, and soul” (No Depression, USA), offering “refreshing insight into human complexities” (Festival of Friends, Hamilton) with a style characterized as “the folk tradition, with integrity and sincerity” (Chart, Toronto). Whether mining the depths of human emotion, or pleading the case for social and environmental justice, Ken’s songs are “filled with the human spirit” (CFMU Radio, Hamilton).
