About Amy Blanding:
Known for her profound songwriting, powerful voice, and electric stage presence, Amy Blanding collects moments in the Northern wild and turns them into stalwart, protest folk songs with a raw edge. Born in the four corners region of Navajo, Hopi, Ute, and Zuni territory (Colorado) and raised on the red shores of Epekwitk - Mi’kmaq territory (PEI) she took the long way home to the traditional and unceded territory of the Lheidli T’enneh (Prince George). Cutting her teeth with nationally recognized folk rock band Black Spruce Bog, and boasting collaborations with the Prince George Symphony Orchestra, Kym Gouchie, Rachelle van Zanten, Marcel Gagnon, Reckless Burning, and countless other artists, Amy Blanding’s music seamlessly bridges the gap between audience, artist, and advocacy toward a greater possibility for the collective.
This trio is part of the band Reckless Burning, but they are playing us a special duo, trio, and solo show.

A tour de force! Fearless Epic, Melodic, Progressive Metal.
With influences in Latin, Celtic and other World music, Dream Heavy is a heavy hitter on all fronts. Experiencing their unique sound, colorful stage costumes and thought provoking lyrics, is an unforgettable experience. You will not be disappointed by the spell that they weave! With original members of BC festival touring favorites Mamaguroove and more recently Samson's Delilah, their music has charted Top 10 lists on campus radio across Canada. The group has now fully transitioned to their new name and heavier groove. Prepare to explode on the dance floor!
Dream Heavy, will be releasing their first single "Song in the Dark" (a melodic/progressive metal journey with a primitive tribal feel) in the spring of 2024. Recorded, mixed, and co-produced by Jane Aurora at Arrival Sounds, the song is the story of our species’ evolution from our earliest awareness of the self and our awe at the universe around us to the brilliant, violent, destructive, and arrogant beings we have become!

Often called a “song and groove man,” Bonneville has lived the life of the itinerant artist. From his native Quebec, he moved to Boston at age twelve, where he learned English and picked up piano and guitar.
Later, he served in Vietnam and earned a pilot’s license in Colorado before living in Alaska, Seattle, and Paris. Six years in New Orleans infused his musical sensibilities with the region's culture and rhythms. And then, a close call while piloting a seaplane proved pivotal: After two decades working as a studio musician, playing rowdy rooms with blues bands, and living hard, Bonneville’s lifetime of hard-won experience coalesced into an urge to write his own music.
A winner and three-time nominee of the coveted Juno Award, Bonneville has worked with the best in Americana and Blues music, performing on albums by Mary Gauthier, Gurf Morlix, Eliza Gilkyson, Ray Wylie Hubbard and others. He shares songwriting credits with the likes of Tim O’Brien, Phil Roy and Gurf Morlix. He has performed at renowned venues around the world, including South by Southwest, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the New Orleans Jazz Festival, The Newport Folk Festival and plays over 100 shows per year across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. When not on the road, Ray divides his time between homes in Goulais River, Ontario and Austin, Texas.
