SUMMARY:Spotlight Series: Balkan Babes & Novo Drom
DESCRIPTION:The singers that make up the award-winning Victoria B.C. based Balkan Babes are dedicated to both the intricate music of the Balkan region\, and to the challenging and highly rewarding process of operating as a collective\, with no director.  Drawn to the penetrating harmonies\, asymmetric rhythms\, unusual ornamentations and powerful emotions that characterize the rich and timeless folk music of Eastern Europe\, Balkan Babes strive for an authentic sound in vocal production and pronunciation\, while opening up many songs to their own interpretations and arrangements. \nSinging together for over 25 years\, Balkan Babes have released three full length records since 1999 including Divna in 2008; Volio in 2012; and Zajedno in 2019\, all to warm reviews. The albums explore themes of love\, life\, longing\, and loss\, bridging cultures and times and making accessible the diverse musical traditions of the Balkans to music lovers near and far. \nNovo Drom\, meaning New Road in Slavic and Romani\, is a musical adventure which interweaves Balkan culture\, Romani sound\, and a West Coast vibe. They formed in 2019 out of a desire to share their love of and expertise with these captivating genres. The trio focuses on blending their voices and instruments to transport their audience to another time and place. Combining pulsing energy\, complex rhythms and intricate three part harmonies\, Novo Drom creates a multi-layered free-spirited sound for all ears to enjoy! www.novodromband.com \nBalkan Babes & Novo Drom are proud to be active members of Vancouver Island’s music\, arts and culture communities and are excited to present selections from these captivating musical traditions to the audience on November 21st \nAlternatively\, please email hello@cowichansouthartsguild.com to reserve your ticket if you wish to pay by e-transfer.

SUMMARY:Spotlight Series: The Chimney Swallows
DESCRIPTION:The Chimney Swallows are a unique folk music duo and microtheatre troupe composed of songwriters Raghu Lokanathan and Corwin Fox. Playing music together casually\, while working (& picketing) for the Victoria Public Library the friends discovered they had a mutual affinity for long conversations\, song games and the stories of random strangers\, & so began The Chimney Swallows. This is a real opportunity to enjoy a special performance by this unique duo as Raghu now resides in Prince George and Corwin on Vancouver Island\, so it is rare to see them together\, much like the avian phenomenon after which they are named. \nThe Chimney Swallows will be performing two plays and a short set of songs during Cowichan South Arts Guild’s Spotlight Series at Shawnigan Lake Community Centre’s Lounge\, Oct 3rd\, 7pm.\nTo create ‘Cut Down’  Raghu and Corwin memorized actual conversations they had with their elderly neighbours and used them to create a new conversation between two old men who never met in real life. ‘Cut Down’ is an exploration of aging and change\, and gently touches upon the universal suffering and hilarity inherent to both. Please be advised there is some strong language. \n‘Has There Been a Time Since?’ is a short play that leads the audience through a weekend at a music festival from the perspective of a veteran performer who is observing the experience they are having while they are in the throes of it. \n\n\nMembers: $14 advance – $20 door\nNon-Members: $18 advance – $25 door\n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Spotlight Series: Jemma & the Good Thing
DESCRIPTION:Known for her unique voice and heartfelt performances\, Cortes-Island based Jemma Hicken (Jemma & the Good Thing) weaves together tender lyrics\, funny storytelling\, and catchy sing-a-longs to create a feel-food Canadiana-folk show. Drawing on the humour and sentimentality of John Prine and Dan Reeder\, the innocence of Paul Simon and Ingrid Michaelson\, and the fire of Ani DiFranco\, Jemma is a songwriting force. Based in Edmonton for three prairie winters\, Jemma was featured at the New Moon Folk Club\, SkirtsAFire Festival\, Kaleido Fest\, and won the 2019 Bent River Songwriting Competition. \nThe pandemic brought her back to her Gulf Island home\, and in 2024 she can be found touring around BC and AB\, most notably debuting at festivals such as Vancouver Island Music Fest\, Filberg Fest\, Quadrapalooza\, and Woodstove Festival. Jemma released her debut album\, Get It Together\, in July 2023. Jemma & the Good Thing is a project of many iterations; the Good Thing is often other musicians\, or sometimes it’s just Jemma’s tenor guitar. The common denominator is always Jemma and her songs.
