Dawn Pemberton + Francis Baptiste
GRANVILLE ISLAND JAZZ
DAWN PEMBERTON
Vibrant, honest, and powerful, Dawn Pemberton’s voice beats a soulful path from gospel and R&B to jazz, funk, and a whole world of music. A collaborator with The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer and Khari Wendell McClelland, her deep musicality, “honey-soaked pipes” (Vancouver Sun) and irresistible verve make Dawn the new queen of Canadian soul!

FRANCIS BAPTISTE
Echoes of early-2000s indie-rock inhabit Francis Baptiste’s arching, melodic debut album Snəqsilxʷ (A). From the Osoyoos Indian Band, the Vancouver-based singer/songwriter features songs in N̓syilxčn̓, an endangered language spoken fluently by roughly 50 people. For Baptiste, his journey in learning the language—and working to preserve and promote this vital heritage—began with Snəqsilxʷ, and is redoubled with each affecting live performance.
