Shotgun Jimmie is a much loved Canadian indie-rock troubadour known for his catchy power pop and endearing charm. His blistering one-man band live show incorporates fuzzed out guitars, a modified drum kit, harmonica, and a magic bag of tricks. Since leaving Shotgun & Jaybird in 2007, Jimmie has released a bevy of 7” singles, EP’s and five full length albums including the Polaris Prize nominated Transistor Sister and his latest Field of Trampolines, a hooky summer love letter to rock and roll and the road, recorded with Canadian indie legend Joel Plaskett (Thrush Hermit). 

Cellist Leanne Zacharias performs across genres and geographies: recent work includes an immersive soundscape in the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Listening Booth: solo recitals for solo audience member, CityWide: simultaneous recitals by 50 cellists in the International Cello Festival of Canada and Sonus Loci: a sound installation on ice, presented by Winnipeg’s Warming Huts Competition. An intrepid educator, Leanne co-directs the Wild Studio creation workshop exploring Canada’s National Parks, Hybrid Intensive in San Francisco, Wheat City Nuit Blanche and is Associate Professor of Music at Brandon University. Her new solo album will be released in 2019.

Ben Sures Launches his first book The Boy who Walked Backwards

The Boy Who Walked Backwards is a moving story about a young Ojibway boy Leo and his family in Serpent River First Nation. Leo’s life turns to darkness when forced to attend residential school. Back home for Christmas, Leo uses inspiration from an Ojibway childhood game to deal with his struggles.

The book is written by Ben Sures and illustrated by Nicole Marie Burton. Sures has spent much of his adult life as a touring and recording singer and songwriter. He has nine full-length albums that have garnered awards. CBC listeners know him for work on numerous programs including, most recently, The Irrelevant Show.

The songs Sures writes for adults have a childlike quality, so it makes sense he’s now written a book for children. The Boy Who Walked Backwards was originally conceived as song, but Sures thought it would also work as a storybook. He wanted children to know the story of Leo Day.

The Boy Who Walked Backwards is his first published work. It has laid the groundwork for more stories, maybe even more Leo stories. Sures envisions further story heroes who triumph using nothing more than what they are born with—instincts and wits.

All the Aunties

Saturday, April 8th @4pm
Tricia McDaid will read from her collection of short stories; All the Aunties. 

These charming stories capture the way childhood memories flash so vividly in their incompleteness. Adult dramas and family gossip blithely swirl about the narrator of these snappy prose picture like conflict deferred. These are stories of what we remember and what we take with us when we leave childhood behind. -Ross Murray
