Tannis will
be joined by Lewis Melville at this fascinating
venue with its straw bale walls and Canadian barn
timber
frame construction, geo-thermal heat and custom
interior. '..up the laneway, past a century
old pine and spruce forest, a Quebec style pole-barn,
a mature
cedar
bush and
a towering maple and beech woodland; you may imagine
you've entered the mythical Land of Narnia!'

Home
Routes Concert Series Home Routes is about
world-class musicians, known and unknown alike, performing
complete concerts in the comfortable intimacy of private
homes and other non-traditional spaces. They're fun
to attend, fun to present, and fun to play. Just imagine
your living room as a concert hall with 25-40 of your
closest friends and their closest friends gathered
for an evening of great music. Imagine great artists
delivering the same show in your living room that they
would present on the Main Stage of a folk festival
or a concert hall.

'Road
to Baleya' is a feature documentary film in which
Canadian and Malian musicians come together on a journey of
musical collaboration and friendship in Mali, West Africa.
Produced by award winning Canadian filmmaker Bay Weyman (Spirits
of Havana), it follows the interactions between Malian griot Mansa
Sissoko and Canadian musicians Lewis Melville,
Dave Clark, Dale Morningstar and Tannis Slimmon as they travel
to Mansa’s home village of Baleya. The film explores
themes of music as a path to social and economic development,
and intersects with the very personal toll exacted by malaria
in one of the poorest countries in the world. |
