Modern Legends Group First Nations Show

Contemporary First Nations artists, Sonny Assu, Corey Moraes, Carrielynn Victor, and Brandon Gabriel all feature an intriguing blend of traditional and contemporary storytelling in their artwork. In bridging modern attitudes with ancestral beliefs, their stories ensure that a provocative First Nations perspective is given voice within the myriad of Canada 150 celebrations taking place in 2017. Ensuring that ‘truth’ is recognized as the prelude to reconciliation, these artists render comic-book characters, super heroes, mythical beings and graffiti-inspired narratives as a critical and often humourous means of sharing both their personal and ancestral Modern Legends. Opening Reception Saturday, September 9th from 2:00 pm–4:00 pm Free Event Funding for this exhibition was provided in part by the Government of Canada with addition support from the City of Maple Ridge and the Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows News.

The Bros. Landreth

Canadian alternative country, roots-rockers, and siblings David and Joey Landreth have developed an awesome reputation for their exceptional musicianship that is uniquely their own. Their debut release, Let It Lie, is anchored by the bluesy wail of electric guitars, the swell of B3 organ, and the harmonized swoon of two voices that were born to mesh. Over the past decade the group has supported some of Canada’s most talented artists from Doc Walker to Imaginary Cities and in 2015, their debut album, Let It Lie, won a JUNO Award for best Roots & Traditional Album of the Year. You won’t want to miss this show! “Leave it to a group of Canadians to dish up some of the best Southern-style blues we wolfed down all weekend. Quiet storm of slide guitar solos, blue notes, three-part harmonies and a spot-on cover of Wings'” – Let Me Roll It.
