When

  • December 17, 2022 - Doors at: 7:00pm / Showtime: 7:30pm

Making her debut performance with songs from her first solo album, Cree singer/songwriter Falynn Baptiste will be joined by Gabe Penna for an evening of songs that tell stories of connection and belonging.  Baptiste’s new album titled “Home” is a collection of contemporary folk music written in both Cree and English. Baptiste, who was raised by first language Cree speakers, released a contemporary Christmas album with all songs translated and sung in the Cree language titled “A Cree Christmas” in 2020. “I wanted to take a language that was perhaps unfamiliar to many (both Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike) and create an opportunity to connect with the language; and in doing so create a sense of wonder and curiosity.” The evening will showcase songs from the new album, as well as a sprinkle of holiday favourites to celebrate the season. Baptiste will be accompanied by composer and pianist, Jo Carter and guitarist Lance Whitecalf.
