Tequila Mockingbird with Bend Sinister

Tequila Mockingbird

The canoe slid through the dark, unknown waters, a lake they had braved on a lark, and eventually became a song that could anchor an entire album. “By feel we found this empty cabin and stayed the night,” recounts Ian Griffiths, accordionist of BC’s Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra. “I lay there and looked at the silhouette of the trees and I felt like it was the ancestors looking down on me. I found out later from my dad that our family had stayed there, in that very cabin.”

By stumbling through a strange place, by bumping up against and buoying each other, The Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra has found home.


Bend Sinister

Labeled as anything from math to prog to pop but feeling most comfortable in the plain guise of rock, Bend Sinister of Vancouver BC have evolved through numerous styles and absorbed a plethora of influences to become a band so refreshingly original that the struggle to categorize them is a losing battle.

Lloydminster Reads

June 16, 2014
Doors open 7:00 pm - Program starts at 7:30 pm
Black Box Theatre, Lakeland College

Presented by
Arts Without Borders Festival

Cassie Stocks, winner of the 2013 Leacock Medal for Humour, will be reading exerts and discussing her debut novel “Dance, Gladys, Dance” on Monday, June 16 at Lakeland College’s Black Box Theatre.

“Dance, Gladys, Dance” is Stock’s first book and is only the sixth woman to win the Leacock Medal in its 67 year history.

27-year-old Frieda Zweig is at an impasse. Behind her is a string of failed relationships and half-forgotten ambitions of being a painter; in front of her lies the dreary task of find a real job and figuring out what “normal” people do with their lives. Then, a classified ad in the local paper introduces Frieda to Gladys, an elderly woman who long ago gave up her dreams of being a dancer.

The catch? Gladys is a ghost

In Dance, Gladys, Dance, Cassie Stocks tells the uplifting story of a woman whose uncanny connection with a kindred spirit causes her to see her life in a new way – as anything but ordinary.

Tickets are $23.00 and are available through the Vic Juba Community Theatre (780.872.7400). Refreshments will be provided and book signings will be available at the end of the evening.

Tuesday, June 17 - Between : Living in the Hyphen
In Canada, diversity often means "one ethnicity + hyphen + Canadian," but what if you don't fit into an easy category? What if your background is a hybrid of ancestries and you live somewhere between, where cultural identities overlap?

Thursday, June 19 - My Brand New Life : Music for Whose Ears
Ray lives in Ontario, in a South-Asian family where music and dance play an important role. Melanie's family is from New Brunswick, where the Acadian tradition of music and dance is also an important part of life. For a week, they discover rhythms and melodies from each other's culture.

Surprise bonus film: One (or more) of the NFB's celebrated animated shorts.

Cost: $10

Poetry Slam - 8:00 pm

The Lion The Bear The Fox

The Lion The Bear The Fox took over thirty years to find each other, but only one month for Christopher Arruda (the lion), Cory Woodward (the bear) and Ryan McMahon (the fox) to realize they were meant to join their voices as one. The Nanaimo Daily News calls the trio “a musical force of nature” to be reckoned with.

Ocean + Lights

Oceans & Lights formed in 2009 as an optimistic group of musicians working to combine their talents into creating a new kind of sound in the Okanagan Valley. They have been steadily branching out of their hometown of Penticton with a focused alternative rock sound and an energetic live presence. Their dynamic music tends to be upbeat and high-energy, dotted with slow-burning, more progressive songs.

Brent Tyler

This is the best description of Brent Tyler’s music and live performance. An aggressive acoustic style combined with a soulful voice and lungs befit of his literal seven-foot stature. Brent Tyler balances the soft subtlety of honest and introspective folk music with catchy and powerful pop/rock hooks and melodies born of his childhood influences and contemporary crushes.

The Dead South

The Dead South is a four-piece acoustic ensemble based in Regina, Saskatchewan. With Nate Hilts’ gritty vocals and aggressive guitar strumming, Scott Pringle’s soaring harmonies and mandolin chops, Colton Crawford’s blazing banjo licks and steady kick drum, and Danny Kenyon’s prominent cello melodies, The Dead South blends elements of folk, bluegrass, classical, and rock which results in a unique, modern, and authentic blend of boot-stompin’ acoustic music.

Formed in 2011, this is THE SHOES (t.i.T.S) write and perform raw-toned, dirty rock & roll with a nod to the sounds of the Mississippi Delta, Southern Soul and late 60s Garage Rock. The first two years had the band playing around the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and southern BC, garnering a devoted following. In September of 2013 they decided to pack everything into a ’76 Ford Econoline camper van and travel across Canada, marking their first national tour. The three month endeavour had them travel coast to coast, playing over forty shows. Still hungry for the road, 2014 kicked off with a Western Canada tour in February and a focus South to the USA for the spring. this is THE SHOES are bringing their brand of rock & roll to a city, town, village, bar and hole in the wall near you.
