Adam Winn & Joseph Te Bulte Play The Breakfast Room
The stories I like best are the ones of seemingly every day folk, who oppose all odds, and seem to somehow still figure out a way to do the things that they love to do.,
Adam Winn and Joseph Te Bulte are two of these kinds of people.
To me, both Adam and Joseph seem to encompass what I could imagine being a very similar situation as many residents in Fort St. John around their age... They both have skilled careers, family responsibilities, a house and mortgage, and all of the expected stresses and obligations that seem to be associated with these things.
But what really sets these guys apart, is that somehow in amongst the everyday life stuff, these guys have managed to find the time to develop their skills as musicians and songwriters to rise to a level of playing and performance that many people seldom have the discipline to achieve!
It’s an honour to present Adam Winn and Joseph Te Bulte live at The Breakfast Room, on Thursday, Feb 9th, as they present two full sets of mostly original music. As an additional spash of musical magic, Jacob Verburg has been rehearsing with and will be joining both Adam and Joseph on stage.
These guys have really been working hard towards getting ready, and I’m really excited to be a part of the show! The Breakfast Room will be filled with friends, family, musicians, and music lovers alike! The shows at The Breakfast Room are available to all ages, and everyone is invited! If you’re interested in a night of great music, and wanted to see what these seemingly ordinary local guys have been up-to... I strongly encourage you to come out!
Tickets are $15 in advance below, or $20 at the door.
A Night of Art and Music at Whole Wheat 'n Honey
Experience an evening of great food, great art, and great music on Saturday January 29th at Whole Wheat 'n Honey. Visual artist Amy Te Bulte will be transforming Whole Wheat 'n Honey into a one day art exhibit. As an artist, Amy loves portraits and is drawn to the energy and intimacy of human form. Combining her love for creativity and community, Amy also works part time as the Music & Arts Director at her local church, often painting live on stage during the music as well as developing a small gallery space in the building. Like many young families, Amy and her husband were initially drawn to Fort St John for work, and were thrilled to discover, and subsequently become part of such a thriving, exciting and supportive arts community.
If you haven't seen Amy's work - this is the ideal opportunity to see many of her best available pieces, all at once.
To complete the evening of entertainment, a concert will be performed by Rik Leaf, with friends Joseph Te Bulte (Amy's husband), and Adam Winn.
Rik Leaf is the kind of artist that inspires all the people around him to add a little creativity into their lives. Rik’s career is as diverse as the cultural climate of his hometown of Winnipeg; a city where English, French, First Nations and Metis artists and cultures create a truly unique creative environment. Featured on six internationally released compilation CDs in addition to four of his own, Rik has consistently worked to establish an intimate and lasting relationship with audiences drawn to his thought provoking and socially conscious music.

Portions of this evening will be filmed as part of Amy's story featured in the "Where The Art Is" Project. For more about the project, click here.
Doors open at 7:00 with performances starting shortly after.
