A project of Home Routes/Chemin Chez Nous

[WINNIPEG June 11, 2018] Winnipeg house concert network Home Routes/Chemin Chez Nous is thrilled to announce a new project, FolkSchool, and to launch the organization’s new FolkSchool, Home Routes announces the First Annual Winnipeg Crankie Festival, which will take place at Crescent Fort Rouge United Church, September 21-23, 2018.

FolkSchool and the Winnipeg Crankie Festival are presented by Home Routes/Chemin Chez Nous, a non-profit organization supported by the Canada Council For the Arts, Manitoba Sport, Culture and Heritage, The SOCAN Foundation, FACTOR and Manitoba Music, in partnership with Seven Oaks School Division, the B.E.E.P. Program, Wayfinders, Ralph Brown Community Centre, The West End Cultural Centre and Crescent Fort Rouge United Church.

The First Annual Winnipeg Crankie Festival will bring together the finest in Winnipeg’s Musical, Spoken Word and Visual Arts communities. It will also bring together people from all walks of life to participate on and off stage in what will truly be an interactive and a collaborative festival experience by introducing the community to “Crankies,” a storytelling art form popular in the 19th Century and a forerunner of modern day film.

Crankies will add a new dimension (from the past) to the live performances. Crankies, or “moving panoramas” as they were known in the 1800s, were immensely popular with audiences throughout the world, bringing hand cranked, moving pictures to performance and story-telling.

Crankies will be a reoccurring aspect of the performances, and will feature unique cross media collaborations with different artists around the city. The weekend long workshop program will include crankie making, various acoustic instruments and vocal styles as well as jams hosted by local music organizations.

Evening Main Stage Variety Shows, occur the weekend of Sept 21-23, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, and day time events occur at the Main Stage on Saturday and Sunday, Sept 22-23. All performances feature established and celebrated Folk Musicians from Winnipeg and abroad.

Headlining acts from Winnipeg include: The Small Glories; Del Barber; Scott Nolan; Red Moon Road; The D.Rangers and Mariachi Ghost. As well, a feature performance by Al Simmons on Saturday afternoon.

Out of Town acts include Anna and Elizabeth, (VA) who have almost single-handedly resurrected the "crankie" and who recently they have signed with Smithsonian Folkways Records. Sue Truman (WA) who is an Appalachian musician based in Seattle and is a respected crankie maker. Linda McRae (BC/TN), who is a Singer/Songwriter and founder of Express Yourself Writing Workshops for At Risk Youth & incarcerated Individuals. Randy Woods aka. Peter Paul Van Camp --- the Personable Poet, the Dimestore Rhymester, the Only Performing Poet from Coshocton, Ohio (BC) and É.T.É who were born from the meeting of three young musicians from classical, jazz and traditional Quebec backgrounds.

The First Annual Winnipeg Crankie Festival takes place Sept 21-23, 2018 in Winnipeg at The Crescent Fort Rouge United Church (525 Wardlaw Avenue, Winnipeg) is open to all ages. Ticket pricing and options are below, full schedule times and details to be announced.

KELLIE LODER BIO
There is something truly extraordinary about Juno-nominated Singer/Songwriter Kellie Loder.

It’s there in her immensely captivating lyrics, which are set against dazzling and addictive melodies. And it’s there in the her electrifying live shows, which both inspire profound emotion in listeners while cracking them up with sparkling anecdotes.

If Loder isn’t breaking your heart, she’s splitting your sides.

Loder is poised to ascend rarefied ranks. For proof, witness her brilliant and emotive third album, Benefit of the Doubt, which elevates whatever subject she happens to be highlighting, from intoxicating love (the mesmerizing ballad "Playground") to the exquisite pain of growing apart (the downcast "Boxes," already a radio hit and winner of the 2017 MusicNL Video of The Year Award).

Anyone who has heard Loder or watched her perform knows one thing is certain: she is a towering talent about to explode on the world stage.

Appel de candidature pour le Prix du Travailleur de l’ombre 2018 Prix de musique folk canadienne
La date limite est le 30 juin
Ce prix souligne la contribution aux arts de ceux qui travaillent dans l’ombre

TORONTO, le 28 mai 2018 - Les Prix de musique folk canadienne (PMFC) lancent l’appel de candidatures pour le prix du Travailleur de l’ombre. La date limite pour soumettre une candidature est le 30 juin (à noter : cette date butoir est plus tardive que celle pour les autres catégories, qui est le 15 juin). Il n’y aucun frais pour cette catégorie.

Ce prix annuel récompense un individu, un groupe ou un organisme pour son apport exceptionnel à l'une ou l'autre facette de la scène de la musique folk canadienne. Les candidats doivent être considérés comme étant des "travailleurs de l'ombre", c'est-à-dire des gens qui ont reçu peu de reconnaissance pour tout le travail accompli.

Pour les informations détaillées et pour soumettre une candidature: https://prixfolk.ca/admissibilite/prix-du-travailleur-de-l-ombre/

Le nom du récipidendaire sera dévoilé lors de la 14e édition des Prix de musique folk canadienne qui se tiendra à Calgary, les 30 novembre et 1er décembre 2018. Les évènements phares du weekend seront deux soirées concerts ouvertes au public. Pour des informations détaillées au sujet de l’achat des billets, consultez le site web des PMFC.
