We're working with the North End Community Renewal Corporation (NECRC) to present Don Amero, Morgan Grace, Tinge, and the Studio 393 Dance Troupe at the 25th annual Picnic in the Park celebration in Winnipeg's St. John's Park on Saturday, August 23. The festivities will run from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm and the site will play host to bouncy castles, the Winnipeg Jets' ball hockey installation, community information stations, and an Indigenous marketplace curated by the sākihiwē festival.
The second annual Tkaronto Music Festival is set for May 21-23 and the sākihiwē festival is on board as the presenting partner for Don Amero's performance on opening night. Everything will broadcast for free on Facebook and YouTube and the full schedule is available at tkmf.ca.
Sandra Sutter, William Prince, Samantha Crain, PIQSIQ, and Fawn Wood among the artists set to perform and lead workshops for the sākihiwē festival's outreach programming in July.
The sākihiwē festival is kicking off June with a new outreach series that includes free workshops for families and free songwriter concerts for music lovers around the globe. The program will run every Wednesday and stream online for free from the festival's YouTube channel and Facebook page.
John Arcand, David Morin, William Prince, Don Amero, Nadia Gaudet & Jason Burnstick, Digawolf, Yvonne St. Germaine, and Young Medicine earned nominations for the 2016 Western Canadian Music Awards (WMCA), which will be handed out on October 13 during BreakOut West in Regina, Saskatchewan this October.
Singer/songwriter Don Amero, competition drum group Black Bear, critically acclaimed poet Shane Koyczan, country artist Armond Duck Chief, folk music legend Buffy Sainte-Marie, rock star Derek Miller, and innovative cellist Cris Derksen are among the performers announced for JUNOFest 2016 in Calgary, Alberta.
