This event is presented by the West End Cultural Centre, the Winnipeg Jazz Festival, and Feast Bistro.
The project Leaf Rapids is Keri Latimer’s (previously from JUNO recipients, Nathan) opportunity to croon about vultures circling their prey, barbershop stabbings, and love letters from smallpox quarantines in her disconcertingly sweet voice. Their sound has been described as ‘Cinematic Folk’ and includes the eerie sound of the theremin. Add in a stellar band: Chris Dunn (Ridley Bent) on guitar, Devin Latimer on bass, and Joanna Miller (Scott Nolan, Corin Raymond) on drums and backup vocals and you’ve got a sonic treat not to be missed. Their latest album, Citizen Alien was released in May 2019 to critical acclaim and has been charting steadily on the Canadian National Earshot Roots/Blues Chart with the number 1 position for June and July. In 2019 they toured Germany and Netherlands and performed at 7 Canadian summer music festivals.
Located across the street from the West End Cultural Centre, Feast Bistro was the obvious first choice for this partnership. As a pillar of the West End community, the menu at feast features modern dishes rooted in traditional First Nation food. The staff at the WECC love Feast as much as the West End community does, and when we brought the idea to them, they were immediately interested in the partnership.
