CANORA - All set for another entertaining season of musical performances, the Stars for Saskatchewan concert series presented by the Canora Arts Council is scheduled to include a trio of concerts planned over the next several months.
The new season gets off to a memorable start with a concert by Diyet and the Love Soldiers. Diyet is an Indigenous singer-songwriter from the Yukon who blends alternative country, folk, roots and traditional music with her native Â鶹´«Ã½AVern Tutchone language and stories, according to an Arts Council release.
Backed by the Love Soldiers, a trio composed of her husband and collaborator, Robert van Lieshout, and Juno Award-winning producer Bob Hamilton, Diyet’s music is a fusion of big stage and intimate room sounds, capturing her adventurous and chaotic life experiences. She sings in both English and Â鶹´«Ã½AVern Tutchone and plays bass guitar, creating a unique sound that showcases her Indigenous world view and northern life.
The second concert on Jan. 10, 2024, will feature Jake Vaadeland & the Sturgeon River Boys. Vaadeland is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist and songwriter from Saskatchewan, with a traditional sound and unique style that blends bluegrass and ’50s rockabilly music.
The final concert of the season is set for April 18. Proficient on many instruments, Jack Garton, a sometimes gravedigger, tells stories from this unusual day job between catchy original folk and blues songs known to make audiences laugh, dream and dance.
