Sunday, January 31 at 1:00 pm tune in for blues-rock music. Rachelle Van Zanten is loved for her straight from the heart, gutsy, and intimate songs that can give voice to thunder and fire the hearts of all who join her in her passionate callings. https://coldsnapfestival.com/2020/12/20/rachelle-van-zanten/
Later Sunday night there will be two more amazing performers! A great duo, Pharis & Jason Romero, and the excellent Marin Patenaude will be on at 7:30 pm.
Pharis and Jason Romero met in 2007 and have been creating amazing country and folk music ever since. They have released six records, toured all over, and enjoyed two Juno awards, multiple Canadian Folk Music Awards, and performances on A Prairie Home Companion and CBC’s The Vinyl Cafe. Watch this show and you’ll be downloading all the music from them you can! https://coldsnapfestival.com/2020/12/20/pharis-and-jason-romero/
Marin Patenaude does it all! Not only is she a fantastic folk (and jazz) singer, instrumental in bringing the Arts on the Fly Festival to life, but growing up she did some landscaping, trained horses, went travelling, and so much more! All these experiences have made for some really beautiful songs you will want to listen to around 7:30 pm! https://coldsnapfestival.com/2020/12/20/marin-patenaude/
