GARTH PRINCE BAND and SCHOOL RESIDENCY PROGRAMS
A thrill to learn traditional music from Namibia as well as original music from Naminian born Singer, Songwriter, Performer and African Music Educator Garth Prince. I invite you to look at his website for all the wonderful sounds and goodness he is bringing to Canada. Garth Prince website
Making music for Dancers
It is one of my greatest joys to create music for those who like to move. Collaborations with Mile Zero Dance, Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts Dance Collective with Amber Borotsik, and many other dancers in Edmonton.
d'CANA
was an exciting band that features Ron Ceilin on bass, John Neelin on drums and percussion, George Koufogiannakis on guitars, oud, bazouki, banjo and other stringed things and myself on vocals, saxophones, melodica, harmonium and other windy things. We were inspired by music from around the world in all forms, letting those sounds influence our compositions. Fusing together unlikely combinations of instruments and styles, we travel the world of sounds with intense grooves, sparse soundscapes and fantastic improvisations. Our first CD, Earthtone, was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award in 2014. It can be purchased through itunes, CD baby, The Grammaphone or through one of us.
The Parkers - was an amazing opportunity play with Thom Golub (bass), Bob Tildesley (Trumpet) and Kevin Parkinson (drums) bringing to life some of the compositions of bassist William Parker and our own original compositions.
