Omineca Arts Centre Performance

Another show is coming up at Omineca, featuring four artists from across Canada. Ok Vancouver Ok, Ghostly Hounds, Britt AM, and Sean Wesley Wood will be performing on July 27th at 9pm.

Ok Vancouver Ok is a Canadian indie rock band formed in Vancouver B.C. in 2004. Described as "anti-capitalist indie music with an environmental message" they integrate elements of punk, lo-fi, funk, pop, post punk, folk rock, and avant-garde ideas.

Ghostly Hounds, a Montreal-based witch-folk project, combines strings, horns and powerful vocals to create a dark, jazzy sound, accompanied by an eclectic mix of instrumentation

From Prince George, Britt AM delivers a gripping set, twisting and manipulating the signal of her guitar with loop and effect pedals, to create rhythmic, riff-based songs with barbed hooks and experiential messages.

Sean Wesley Wood, originally from Vancouver, has been writing songs and performing around Prince George since 2005. This indie folk artist's distinctive vocal style and experience makes his shows stand out from the crowd. 

The cover is only $10 to see all four of these awesome performers!
