SUMMARY:Open Air Performance Series: Ricardo
DESCRIPTION:RICARDO\nOpen Air Performance Series\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom July 7th – August 29th\, 2025 join us for a free\, 1-hour performance every Monday to Friday at 6PM as part of our Open Air Performance Series. By expanding our arts experiences into Town Centre Park\, we hope these events will excite our patrons and introduce us to new faces and Lake Lafarge lovers alike. Grab your picnic basket and enjoy a free professional concert in the park! \nThe Evergreen Cultural Centre Society is supported by Port Coquitlam Community Foundation Theatre Society Legacy Fund. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \n\nRicardo is an artist\, composer\, and music producer based in Vancouver\, BC. Born in Mozambique a few years after the civil war\, Ricardo immigrated to Canada with his mother when he was just 5-years old. His music is an honest reflection of his journey\, blending personal storytelling with boundary-pushing sounds\, challenging the conventions of radio pop by weaving in layers of hip-hop\, Afrobeat\, Gospel\, and R&B. Ricardo’s music comes from the perspective of a story teller. One who weaves the personal and the Universal. Ricardo’s main stories that he writes about have to deal with trauma; both relationally\, familial\, and generational trauma. Ricardo believes music is the medium for not only healing\, but for communicating beyond what we normally do with language. From intimate Sofarsounds shows to festival main stages\, his music invites you to join him on an unpredictable\, unforgettable ride. Ricardo’s concerts are more than just a set—they’re an experience.

SUMMARY:Open Air Performance Series: Kele Fleming & Matthew Presidente
DESCRIPTION:KELE FLEMING & MATTHEW PRESIDENTE\n\nOpen Air Performance Series\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom July 7th – August 29th\, 2025 join us for a free\, 1-hour performance every Monday to Friday at 6PM as part of our Open Air Performance Series. By expanding our arts experiences into Town Centre Park\, we hope these events will excite our patrons and introduce us to new faces and Lake Lafarge lovers alike. Grab your picnic basket and enjoy a free professional concert in the park! \nThe Evergreen Cultural Centre Society is supported by Port Coquitlam Community Foundation Theatre Society Legacy Fund. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \n\nKELE FLEMING | Kele Fleming the distinct love child of Linda Perhacs and Ani DiFranco. She’s 70’s psychedelic\, feministic\, intelligent- quoting Darwin and Foucault mid song. Kele Charted at #1 on the New Queer Canada Music Charts\, and is a proud member of the LGBTQ2A community\, and her presence in today’s music scene is an important reminder that it needs to continue to be more diverse and inclusive. \nKele’s dynamic vocals range from choir girl naivete to raging Sinead O’Connor. Profound lyrics that are more like call to actions\, angry at humanity’s sad state of affairs. These are potent and important protest songs that rage against our indifference and apathy.\nPerfect for discerning and open-minded crowds\, who have taste for authenticity and a pallet for the truth. This is peer to peer with music that lives in the likes of the Numero Group catalog.\nFor the Gen Z’s among us Kele’s music has accumulated over 500K listens on Spotify\, her edgy single ‘The Great Acceleration – Devours Remix’ alone\, reaching a staggering 114K. \nMATTHEW PRESIDENTE | Vancouver’s piano man\, Matthew Presidente is an innovative rock/pop songwriter whose dynamic performances light up the stage whether he’s solo or backed by his full band. With his signature piano driven sound and high-energy delivery\, Matthew forges a powerful connection with audiences through emotionally charged\, interactive\, and unforgettable live shows. \nDescribed by Xtra Magazine as “one of—if not—the best singer/songwriters in our LGBT scene\,” Matthew made a bold leap in 2022\, leaving his full-time career to chase music full-time. Since then\, he’s been on a roll— hitting the studio with his band\, releasing new music\, earning a Creative BC Career Development grant\, and touring extensively across British Columbia. In 2024 alone\, he played over 100 shows\, lighting up iconic venues like The Fox\, The Rickshaw\, Guilt & Co\, The Shipyards\, and The Hollywood Theatre. He has also earned enthusiastic recognition on Pride stages throughout BC and Alberta. \nMost recently\, Matthew’s theatrical flair shone in Pretty Package Piano Bar\, a musical he co-wrote and performed at the 2022 Kelowna Fringe alongside drag stars Toddy and Ella Lamaroux. He followed it up with a ten-city BC tour\, including Peak Pride weekends\, spreading queer joy and advocacy everywhere he went. He’s also hit the road several times with Vancouver Island’s Kele Fleming and opened for Canadian rock legend Bif Naked. Teaming up with producer Matt Roach (RainCity Recorders)\, Matthew dropped his highly anticipated full-length album Chosen Sun in January 2025. Bursting with themes of transformation\, queer resilience\, and personal empowerment\, the album features standout singles “Rainbow Tree” and “The Rhythm”—earning over 100k streams across platforms in its first month
