Friday, March 14, 7pm – Union Street Grotto.
The Elevate Team is proud to present two amazing women singer-songwriters this month! Please join us for an evening of original music by these rising local stars.
Erin Junkala
…was born and raised in beautiful Thunder Bay, Ontario and recently just relocated to Vancouver Island.
She has entertained for many people in various settings from night pubs to weddings to busking the streets in Europe. Her love for music follows her wherever she goes.
In an early review, Erin’s musical ability was once described as “…the love child Neil Young and Joni Mitchell never had,” (Hubert O’Hearn, the Walleye, May 2012). A lively and gifted singer-songwriter as well as an adept and original cover artist, her concerts are geared towards fun and usually include a variety of genres such as folk, indie and almost everything in between.
To attend an Erin Junkala concert is to enter a thoughtful world populated by peace and smiles.
Annie Handley
…singer/songwriter from Vancouver Island, Canada reached success a few years ago on YouTube, yielding international acclaim.
With stirring lyrics, a mesmerizing voice that also wields a rock edge, Annie has interwoven these talents with a lifetime of composing music & live performances to produce the long-awaited debut CD “No Shoobie”.
This culmination of creativity is already being aired by the local rock station 98.9 JetFM and is making its way into the US. Be sure to listen – you be the judge and let Annie take you on this wonderful music journey with her.
