******************************

ABOUT KARYN:

Guelph Mercury calls her “a revelation”. Globe and Mail says Karyn Ellis is a “must-see” songstress and has “a magical way with song.” Whether singing heartfelt tunes or leading raucous sing-a-longs, Karyn is engaging, funny and smart and her fine acoustic guitar playing complements her sweet, dynamic voice. A modern folk darling, her thoughtful lyrics are about every day wonders, beauty and hope. Calgary Herald gives four stars to Karyn’s album, Even Though The Sky Was Falling, adding: “This is a woman with stories.”

To date Karyn has independently released four albums – her most recent one More Than A Hero came out this winter – and has played over five hundred live appearances.

“…Have a listen to her most recent album and you’ll get a good sense as to why she’s getting so much work. She’s firmly rooted in the folk tradition, with a soft whisper of a voice that will lull you into her world. The album sucks you right in, and before you know it, you’ve lost an afternoon listening…” Kevin Mcgowan, therevue.ca

ABOUT MARINA:

“This hearty Albertan’s songwriting skirts with perfection” Roots Music Canada

Marina Marina has been winning hearts all over the globe! A packed tour schedule over the last two years has seen her performing in venues across Canada, Europe, The United Kingdom, and most recently Australia.

Marina’s ‘organic free range folk pop’ has been described as being “like golden mist caught in a strong wind twisting into patterns and sparkling in the gentle muted sun.” Her music is earthy and soothing and it all sounds so effortless, like her guitar is part of her body.

Would you like to attend a Home Routes house concert?

Sometimes on the road, especially when you are traveling in a northern place in the winter, you run into a blizzard that means you have to cancel a show last minute. Well, I have run into a blizzard of sorts… I was struck down by a wretched cold.

My voice demands that I take time to rest and so it is with great regret that I had to cancel Thursday and Friday’s performances.

I am playing in Whitehorse again this weekend so hopefully those of you who were coming out tonight can make it then. And by then I should be right as rain!

The communities where I’m playing as part of the Yukon Trail Home Routes Living Room Concert Series:

Sun Feb 2 – Whitehorse
Tue Feb 4 – Marsh Lake
Wed Feb 5 – Atlin, BC

Thur Feb 6 – Whitehorse – canceled due to Karyn’s cold
Fri Feb 7 – Haines Junction – canceled due to Karyn’s cold
Sat Feb 8 – Mary Lake
Sun Feb 9 – Whitehorse – host had to cancel
Mon Feb 10 – Pelly Crossing
Tues Feb 11 – Mayo
Wed Feb 12 – Dawson City
Thur Feb 13 – Old Crow

*** We are trying to squeeze in one last make up show on Sat Feb 15 in Whitehorse! Update about whether that’s happening coming very soon! ***

SEE A SHOW!

Many of these shows are open to the public, so if you’d like to see a show contact the Home Routes office! They will connect you with a concert in your area. For ticket information, email info@homeroutes.ca or telephone 1-866-925-6889

“BC Rivers Day is a province-wide event, held every year on the last Sunday in September (Sept 23rd for 2012 in Prince George). Established in 1980 and coordinated by the Outdoor Recreation Council (ORC), it has been proclaimed by communities across BC and attracts over 75,000 people to more than 100 events each year.

The success of this event in BC has also recently led to the establishment of a “National Rivers Day” – and as part of the UN Water for Life Decade starting in 2005, a new “World Rivers Day” will be celebrated each September. This will use BC Rivers Day as a model and concurrent river-related events will take place in a number of different countries.”

Music on the Mainstage: noon to 4pm
Cheryl Bear
Karyn Ellis
Rosewood Diary

Come down to the park for the afternoon, and you’ll also find educational/informational booths, interactive activities and food vendors!

“What happens when some of Canada’s leading singers and songwriters are inspired to compose and perform original songs from a recent work of fiction? You experience a once in a lifetime, late-night celebration of sound and story.Torn from the Pages is the brainchild of singer-songwriter-bestselling author, Dave Bidini, and in this Vancouver rendition of a Toronto tradition Timothy Taylor’s The Blue Light Project is the inspiration. From songs to essays, new narratives to tone poems, Bidini and his outstanding line-up of musicians and writers will delight with eight new pieces provoked by Taylor’s epic work of terrorism, media and sport.”

With Authors: Dave Bidini, Grant Lawrence, Zsuzsi Gartner, Colin Browne, Timothy Taylor and Musicians: Selina Martin, Veda Hille, Geoff Berner, Brendan McLeod, Karyn Ellis.

Learn more about the event and the festival: www.writersfest.bc.ca

Tickets can be purchased either online at vancouvertix.com, by phone though VancouverTix at 604.629.8849, or in person at the Festival box office at 1398 Cartwright Street on Granville Island, M-F 10am-4pm and Sat 12 noon -4pm.
