Sara Power, Ouroboros, and RASA
Sara Power is a Labrador storyteller, a former Canadian Forces artillery officer, and a welcome new voice in Canadian literature. Her powerful debut collection of short fiction, Art of Camouflage, will be published by Freehand Books in May. With insight and emotional precision, the book explores the lives of women and girls caught in the military's orbit. Art of Camouflage is memorable at every turn, full of characters whose deepest motivations we recognize intrinsically as our own. We can't wait to hear Sara read during our New Voices event upstairs at the Merchant Warehouse.
🎵 Get ready for a night of high energy and exhilaration at the Heritage Theatre when Ouroboros takes the stage on Saturday night. Hailing from Newfoundland and Labrador, this innovative act fuses infectious dance grooves from around the world driven by its frontline of four funky, world class saxophonists.
They toured Canada, the US and the UK behind their 2019 ECMA Jazz Recording of the Year, “Kitchuses”. The band continues to thrill audiences with their original sound and propulsive rhythms. We can't wait to get this party started…..
🎵 Sandy Morris and Erin best are both long-time Woody Point favourites who this year take the stage together as RASA.
Erin has a voice that could melt even the iciest of hearts. Sandy, the most easterly guitar player in North America, is a living Newfoundland legend and we are proud to have him as our Woody Point musician-in-residence. Together, they're a musical force to be reckoned with. Their debut album, "Neoprehistoric", blends rock, folk, and a hint of something indescribable, much like the feeling of finding a lost sock in the dryer.
When they're not making music, Sandy is likely in some lake or river practicing his front-stroke, backstroke, and fancy diving. Meanwhile, Erin can be found navigating the legal waters as a lawyer with Stewart McKelvey, probably arguing that all disputes should be settled with a jam session.
Catch RASA on stage during our Saturday afternoon matinee, opening for Shelagh Rogers’ interview with Louise Penny.
🎟 Tickets go sale on Saturday, May at 11 am ET, 12:30 pm NDT via Ticketpro
