Main Performer: Lennie Gallant (PE)
The storied career of Rustico PEI’s Lennie Gallant CM features copious awards, accolades, great albums and fantastic songs. How fantastic? Well, Peter’s Dream was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, although everyone who knows his music has favourites of their own. Among his side projects, the multimedia production about PEI, Searching for Abegweit, ran for 190 shows in Eastern Canada; and a collaboration with the late Jimmy Buffett resulted in two co-writes and vocal credits on Buffett’s posthumous final album. At one point, Lennie’s music was on the International Space Station, circling Earth 248 times. His latest album, Shelter From the Storms, features the transcendent song God’s Reply. He and partner Patricia Richard also record and perform as the Francophone duo Sirène et Matelot. lenniegallant.com
Special Guest: Kinjo and Young (AB)
Growing up in Calgary as one of four musical brothers, Jory Kinjo is well known locally for his genre-jumping mastery of soul, ska, reggae and R&B, as well as playing in the long-standing soul band Mocking Shadows. Guitar wizard Aaron Young has produced and/or contributed to over 180 albums and played 7,500+ live performances across the globe. The Ironwood’s Pat MacIntyre sums the duo up as: “amazing musicianship and songwriting from two of the best in the country.” kinjoyoung.com
