Kym Gouchie Joins All Star Production & Performance Cast to Release Children's Album
A project Kym Gouchie conceptualized with Rae Spoon years ago has come to fruition with a quiet release this June 13th 2024 on Gouchie’s mother’s birthday, and its joyful noise will now be heard at Prince George’s Knox Performance Centre Wednesday October 23rd, and at no cost to no you. Local philanthropist Selen Alpay & Integris Credit union have supported a number of school groups to come and witness performances Tuesday and also earlier in the day on Wednesday the 23rd. Entry is FREE
The youth-focused album Shun Beh Nats'ujeh: We Are Healing Through Songs, shares lyrics in Dakelh, Secwepemctsin, English, and Cree. All of which reflect Gouchie’s ancestry and personal journey to asserting her identity as a Lheidli T’enneh woman. An all star cast of accomplished Western Canadian producers and musicians joined Gouchie for this complex project, most of which are joining her on stage at 6pm, Oct.23rd. The release is already picking up momentum, as the Vancouver International Children’s Festival will also be hosting Kym and her ensemble in the spring of 2025.
Attendees are encouraged to arrive at 6pm for bannock and jam.
