SUMMARY:Oh Canada! – Manitoba Hal & Shawna Caspi
DESCRIPTION:TICKET INFO\nTickets for this event are available at the Cinema Arts Center on the day of the performance.  Prices are $10 for FMSH and Cinema Arts Centre Members / $15 for Non Members.  There are no advance tickets for this event. \nManitoba Hal has forged an international reputation for engaging and connecting with his\naudience through songs that are mournful\, hopeful\, silly\, romantic and introspective. He proves that the uke can be small but mighty as he pulls out powerful blues riffs and melodies adding subtle important accompaniment using looping technology. \nHis strong foundation in American roots / blues music\, confident baritone voice\, and distinctive original music have made him a solid draw at festivals\, house concerts and soft seat theatres in Canada\, the United Kingdom and Australia. He has performed at the Orangeville Blues & Jazz Festival\, Kitchener Blues Festival\, Winnipeg Folk Festival\, Vancouver Island Music Festival\, New York Uke Festival\, Ukulele Festival of Great Britain and Melbourne Ukulele Festival and he has been a mainstage headliner at international ukulele festivals such as the Cairns Ukulele Festival and the Grand Northern Ukulele Festival. \nManitoba Hal Video \nWith her third album\, Apartments For Lovers\, Shawna Caspi taps right into those folk roots\, stripping away the session musicians and elaborate arrangements of her previous records in favour of a simple\, authentic sound – her solo guitar and voice. The result is a collection of songs that is close-up and honest\, showcasing her warm vocals\, classically-trained fingerstyle guitar playing\, and intimate songwriting in a genuine\, powerful way. \nOn Apartments For Lovers\, Shawna creates delicate\, quiet moments that are vulnerable and accessible even when she’s writing about someone else. Her songs are snapshots – moments that may appear small\, but which subtly carry weight and offer greater depth thanks to her well-crafted lyrics. \n“Some musicians make songwriting sound less of a craft and more of a life affirming obsession. Caspi’s compositions stand out as beautiful\, complex and intricate…” – NOW Magazine\, NXNE preview \nFor 15 years\, Shawna has been playing the guitar she bought at the Ottawa Folklore Centre\, one of Canada’s best loved music stores. This cherished instrument has accompanied her on tour through seven provinces\, where she has played festivals including the Blue Skies Music Festival\, the Summerfolk Festival\, and the Deep Roots Music Festival. It was also her constant companion as she played on the long haul trains between Montreal and Halifax and between Vancouver and Toronto as part of the VIA Rail On Board Entertainment Program. \nWhile she never had one particular musical influence growing up\, Shawna found inspiration in a wide variety of independent Canadian singer/songwriters as she played and sang her way through the folk music scene. Some of these artists are now her peers\, and she has shared the stage with several of her favourites\, including Rose Cousins\, Jon Brooks\, James Keelaghan\, Suzie Vinnick\, and Garnet Rogers. \n“Shawna Caspi has the rare gift of presence that immediately invites audience engagement\, from the first strum of her skilled guitar playing to the last exquisite note she sings”. – Andy Frank\, co-founder of Roots Music Canada \nFrom cafes\, soft-seat theatres\, living rooms\, festival stages\, and yes\, even trains\, Shawna is making her living singing her stories across Canada. She loves the landscapes of her home country and while weaving them into her songs\, she has also been portraying them on canvases. Shawna paints one-of-a-kind works of art inspired by the rich scenery she sees in her travels and makes them available for sale with her merchandise. Two of those paintings make up the front and back cover artwork for Apartments For Lovers. \nShawna’s Canadian folk roots are an intrinsic part of who she is. In fact\, Shawna as a solo musician is exactly who she is as a person – warm\, inviting\, a storyteller\, a traveller\, a Canadian\, an authentic artist. “And at the heart of everything”\, she says\, “I’m just a really big music fan”. \nShawna Caspi Video
