SUMMARY:Sarah Harmer Live at Dënäkär Zho / Klondike Institute of Art & Culture
DESCRIPTION:FRI\, OCT 3rd\ndoors open: 7:30\nshowtime: 8:00 \nwith an opening set by Corbin Murdoch\nCorbinMurdoch.Bandcamp.com \nTickets at the KIAC Store\n– \nSarah Harmer is a multiple award-winning\, platinum-selling singer-songwriter and environmental activist. Her solo music career launched with the now classic debut You Were Here (2000) and includes six critically acclaimed albums\, including her latest\, Are You Gone\, released via Arts & Crafts in 2020. \nA deeply personal and political collection of songs motivated by the beauty of life\, the urgency of the climate crisis\, and the question of loss\, Sarah called the album a spiritual successor of sorts to her acclaimed 2000 debut. Its simple title\, Are You Gone\, is a meditation on presence and a bookend to the questions posed on You Were Here – a sharpened\, more electric confrontation with the realities of nature and human nature. \nBetween co-founding the citizen’s organization PERL (Protecting Escarpment Rural Land) and leading the successful effort to prevent an open-pit gravel mine in a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve on the Niagara Escarpment\, Sarah has become a fixture in local politics and advocacy. In 2022\, Sarah helped launch the Reform Gravel Mining Coalition in her home province of Ontario to protect water\, farmland\, and biodiversity. This spring\, she received the prestigious 2025 Juno Humanitarian Award\, presented by Dr. David Suzuki in Vancouver BC for her human rights and advocacy work\, and was recently honoured with the keys to the city of Burlington presented by Mayor Marianne Meed Ward for her ongoing contributions to the region. \nSarah is currently writing songs for a new album. \n* * * * * \n“Are You Gone is the best album of Harmer’s career”  \n– Globe and Mail \n“One of the most accomplished and affecting albums in her already \nremarkable catalogue”  \n– Exclaim! 9/10 \n“Sarah’s voice remains as warm and wise as ever”  \n– Paste \n“Are You Gone is a journey across time\, place\, learning\, and loss that Sarah Harmer is an incredibly gracious guide to take us on”  \n– Folk Alley \n“A folky\, minor-key song about ice skating at night\, with a gentle vocal and a sturdy melody\, that maps a precarious relationship onto the wintry conditions.” (on St. Peter’s Bay)  \n– The New York Times \n–\nThanks to our co-presenter The Yukon Arts Centre\nand our funders: Government of Canada\, Yukon Government\, Canada Council for the Arts

SUMMARY:@canada.gov.ca - LIVE in Dawson City\, Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The admin makes his journey to the Paris of the North for the first time\n—\nwell folks – I will be honest\, this is the show I have been most excited for since I started doing shows across Canada in January of 2023. “One day” I said to myself\, “I will go to Dawson City.” That time has come. After a series of sold out shows in Calgary\, Edmonton\, Saskatoon and Winnipeg in January\, the Admin is now looking to close the loop with shows in Victoria and Whitehorse\, Dawson City and maybe more 🙂 Be sure to be a part of this and get your tickets quickly because this show at Dënäkär Zho – Klondike Institute of Art & Culture is sure to sell out! And the afterparty? We have you covered. The whole gang will take the party over to The Pit where yours truly will likely be dropping house music edits of your favourite CanCon hits LOL. DJ Admin? Sure. But what is the show exactly? Imagine a couple drinks with a knowledgeable friend – who just happens to have a PowerPoint presentation ready 😂 somewhere between formal and informal. A tipsy ted talk\, if you will. It’s not stand-up\, it’s not a podcast\, it’s @canada.gov.ca – see you there!\n—\nCLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS\nAct fast\, we expect a sell-out

SUMMARY:Khari Wendell McClelland Celebrating 20 Years of DCMF’s Songwriter-in-Residence Program
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 15\, 2025\nDënäkär Zho / KIAC Ballroom\nDoors at 7:30 PM\, Music at 8:00 PM \nTo buy tickets\, click here! \nIn 2025\, the Dawson City Music Festival (DCMF) will celebrate 20 years of its Songwriter-in-Residence program. To mark this milestone\, KIAC and DCMF have teamed up for a concert series that brings back some of the most beloved participants from the past two decades. \nThe second show in the series features a full-band performance by Khari Wendell McClelland from Vancouver (BC). Khari was DCMF’s 10th Songwriter-in-Residence in 2015. He made a lasting impression on the Dawson community\, organizing a choir that continued to perform together long after his residency. \nWe are excited to welcome Khari back to Dawson City for a weeklong mini-residency. Stay tuned for more details on how you can get involved beyond his performance on February 15th. \nABOUT KHARI WENDELL MCCLELLAND \nOriginally from Detroit\, Khari Wendell McClelland has become a darling on the Canadian music scene\, with critics praising his performances as a clever mix of soul and gospel. Khari’s songwriting crosses genres and generations\, joyfully invoking the spirit of his ancestors who straddled the US-Canadian border in efforts to escape slavery and discrimination. His music draws from this rich history\, integrating the rhythms and folklore of early African-Americans with contemporary sounds and stories of struggle. Recently\, Khari received critical acclaim for his Freedom Singer project\, recreating the music fugitive slaves carried on their journey north into Canada. Khari also performs with the Roots Gospel group The Sojourners. Whether on stage or in the studio\, Khari’s passion for community\, equality and justice is palpable\, as is his belief in the redemptive power of music. \nThanks to our funders and partners:\nCanada Council for the Arts | Government of Canada | Yukon Government | Park Canada | North Klondyke Highway Music Society

SUMMARY:Muster Point Live Concert
DESCRIPTION:Co-Presented by Jazz Yukon\nAdmission by donation (at the door)\nDoors open – 7:30 / Music – 8:00\nFeaturing a short opening set by David Johnston III \nMuster Point is Yukon’s contemporary instrumental collective. The rotating lineup brings together artists with backgrounds in jazz\, classical\, rock\, hip hop\, and things in between. Featuring some of Whitehorse’s finest musicians\, Muster Point plays original music that blends and extends genres into sweeping journeys of groove. \n\n\nThe band grew out of a shared dream that live music is so much more than what can be rehearsed. Muster Point’s founding members bonded through Whitehorse’s professional breakdance scene; creating fully improvised music while reacting in realtime to the freestyle dance in front of them. These sacred hip-hop rituals tuned their minds to a different frequency and set the creative tone for Muster Point. Today\, the collective has grown to about ten artists\, with a core group of five that perform regularly. Muster Point are gearing up for the recording of an album\, and the return of their super fun\, highly anticipated weekly series at Baked Café\, this time with new guest artists and new original music. \nFeaturing: \nLogan Bennett (piano/synth/trumpet)\nWyatt Best (guitar)\nJake Paleczny (bass clarinet)\nRagn Royle (bass)\nMichel Vallières (percussion)\n\nGalen Pelley (drums) \nhttps://www.instagram.com/musterpoint_band/
