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 Southern 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 Southern 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.
