The Homeless Project, led by guitarist and composer Tony Wilson, is a multimedia presentation that incorporates original music, film and narration, hoping to shine a light on the serious housing struggles people face in the Downtown Eastside and across Canada.

The Homeless Project is the third in a series of multimedia presentations that deal with social issues. The first was A Day’s Life that dealt with drug addiction and and the second Looking Back which dealt with child abuse in the Catholic industrial Schools. Along with a ten-piece band there will be film, photography, narration and a sign language interpreter. Filming was all done in the Downtown Eastside by award-winning filmmaker Michael Mckinlay.

With Tony Wilson composer/guitar, J.P. Carter trumpet, Josh Zubot violin, Patsy Klein vocals, Russell Sholberg bass, Kenton Loewen drums, Cole Schmidt guitar, Michael McNamara narration, Jessica Heuchert sign language and Zsofin Sheehy projectionist.

Presented in collaboration with Heart of the City Festival
