DIYET
A “Stars For Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, Thursday, October 22 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High School.
Diyet engages audiences in an intimate and uplifting experience as she invites them into a soundscape of rhythym, melody and storytelling. With a resonant voice that conveys emotion and passion. Diyet is a contemporary Aboriginal artist whose music leaves listeners with a sense of hope and possibility. Her lyrics paint a vivid picture of her surroundings and the happy and heartbreaking things that happen in her world. Diyet’s adventurous life is on full display in her music and she often says, “yesterday fishing for our dinner on the ice, the next day on the stage singing for you” – how awesome is that?

Singer Ken Lavigne has charmed his way into the hearts of concert goers across North America with his sincere delivery of ballads, show tunes and classical crossover hits in the style of Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban. Backed by his band, Ken takes his audience on a riveting and enchanting journey retelling his personal campaign to sing at the world famous Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops Orchestra. It’s a unbelievable account of a man who, against all odds found a way to live out his dream of singing on the world’s most prestigious concert stage. Told with spectacular songs and entertaining and hilarious stories Ken embodies the spirit of the underdog – audacity, tenacity, tragedy ad ultimately … triumph.
