On Thursday, March 11, 2010, Holly and Kevin will be at the North Peace Cultural Centre performing with a 130-voice choir from Alwin Holland School, in a concert called Be the Change – it’s a celebration of the new Community Energy Plan.
On Friday, March 12, Holly and Kevin will give a rocking duo performance at the Whole Wheat and Honey Café.
Both shows start at 7pm. Admission is free.
Based on Vancouver Island, BC, Holly Arntzen and Kevin Wright perform music about sustainability, ecology and the human dilemma: folk pop to rock your world! They are creating the new edge of environmental music by blending their very diverse musical backgrounds and weaving them into songs that touch people’s souls and make them think about the world around them. The two are a powerful unit that interweave stories, personalities and a true belief that this world of ours can get better.
When Holly and Kevin sing together - think Joni Mitchell and Bon Scott. Many people comment on the full sound that comes from just two people. With Holly on slide dulcimer and piano and Kevin playing percussion and sax, they produce a wide range of sound and feeling. It’s a blend that leaves people feeling like they’ve experienced something fresh and real.
With over 30 years as a folk/jazz performer, Holly has appeared at most major music festivals in Canada and has shared the stage with artists such as Bruce Cockburn, Stan Rogers and Herbie Hancock. Since the mid-80s, Kevin has been a pioneering member of the Victoria rock scene performing in seminal bands such as Armoros, Turk and the Rat (Rocktoria 1 winner) and After Dark.
Holly and Kevin form the core of the Artist Response Team (ART) - a ground breaking production house that delivers fabulous Voices of Nature community outreach events throughout BC and Alberta. Using their award winning and provincially recommended Cycle of Life learning resources, they travel the land bringing music and science education to entire school communities. The 4-day artist in residence school music program culminates in fabulous theatre concerts, bringing hundreds of young singers together with The Dream Band to sing and speak out for sustainability.
