SUMMARY:SECHILLE SEDARE
DESCRIPTION:SECHILLE SEDARE\nLeela Gilday & Jay Gilday\n\nA contemporary roots duo featuring sibling songwriters Leela Gilday and Jay Gilday. Sechile Sedare (pronounced ‘seh-chee-leh’ ‘seh-dahr-eh’) means ‘my younger brother\, my older sister’ in the Dene language. This musical collaboration sees Jay and Leela co-write and co-create new repertoire together\, harnessing their talents as deeply insightful and genuine storytellers. Their voices blend in perfect harmony\, hitting notes of nostalgia\, hope\, humour and reflection. The songs\, created during lockdown in 2021 and during a residency at the Banff Centre\, share stories about their family history\, their connection to the land and water\, and the twists and turns of fate. \n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\n A vagabond turned mailman\, Jay Gilday has searched for himself in the depths of Folk\, blues\, traditional\, rock and most recently soul music. The quest continues as Jay takes his experiences as a half Dene\, half Canadian-Irish youth traveling the roads of Canada\, the daily roller-coaster of work\, family\, and performance and weaves them into song. Jay’s live performance is executed with a trained voice and a passion to drive it backed up by a heavy hitting guitar\, finger-style or flat-picked\, your choice! \nBorn and raised in the Northwest Territories\, Leela Gilday writes about the people and the land that created her. The power in her voice conveys the depth of her feelings of love and life in a rugged environment and vibrant culture\, as if it comes straight from that earth. Leela’s family is from Délįne on the shore of Great Bear Lake and her rich vocals dance across the rhythmic beats of traditional Dene drumming as smoothly as a bass line onstage the largest venues in the country. And she has played them all.

SUMMARY:Inlet Theatre Music Series - Mimosa
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for an unforgettable night of music at the Inlet Theatre. Join us for a fantastic performance by the talented band Mimosa. \nThis bilingual (French/English) Vancouver quintet draws on Jazz\, Brazilian Sambas\, French Chanson and Cabaret music to concoct its own unique sound: gorgeous melodies\, quirky lyrics\, incredible groove and sky-high improvisations. \nWith four critically acclaimed Cds and festival appearances all over Canada (including the Vancouver and Montreal Jazz Festivals)\, they have become CBC favourites\, selected first as the subject of a one-hour long documentary and more recently as one of four Western bands featured on television\, radio and the web\, in the popular “Mai de la chanson d’ici”. In September 2011 they also appeared on the French CBC show “Bien au show”\, for their final episode. In 2012\, Mimosa collaborated for the first time with dancers and a projectionist for a unique performance at the Sechelt Arts Festival. Recently\, Mimosa toured the Okanagan with a brand new repertoire of originals and interesting arrangements of standards. They have performed at many festivals\, including the Harmony Arts Festival\, the Gibsons Jazz Festival\, the Pender Harbour Jazz Festival\, the Fort Langley Jazz Festival\, Festijazz Rimouski\, Festival du Voyageur\, Winterruption\, the Montreal and Vancouver Jazz Festival (many times) and numerous others. \nMimosa’s music is composed predominantly by pianist Anna Lumiere\, with contributions from and collaborations with other band members. Some of their compositions have been used in film and television (Rise of the Gargoyles\, Mange ta ville\, etc). Lumiere also received a IMA composition award for Hotel des peines perdues and some of her songs have been rearranged for choir (Echos du Pacifique). \nThe band has just released their 4th album\, “Bien ensemble” on the label Cellar Music (Cory Weeds\, Vancouver)\, on March 29\, 2024. French CBC has also done a 20 year retrospective in the form of a short documentary about the band (“Le bonheur\, chanté par Mimosa”) \nThe band is made up of Rebecca Shoichet\, vocals\, Anna Lumiere (piano and accordion)\, Karen Graves (sax\, flute and vocals)\, Conrad Good (bass) and Bernie Arai (drums). Although every member of Mimosa is also active on the Canadian music scene in many other groups\, the band is celebrating its 25th year anniversary in 2024 and has developed a unique performance that will take you on an unforgettable journey into time and sound.
