Joey O’Neil
From Joey’s Klondike cabin wafts reflective folk-country Canadiana and wood smoke.
Though much of her time is spent cutting kindling and hauling water around her off-grid Yukon home, she released her sophomore L.P., Ever Ahead, on April 10th. Produced by pedal-steel legend Aaron Goldstein and recorded at Toronto’s Baldwin Street Sound, it’s an undeniably classic road-trip album that Exclaim! deems is made up of “postcard-like, twanged-out folk tracks” and Canadian Beats dubs “an audiobook narrated behind bluesy, western melodies.”
Gordie Tentrees is an international award-nominated touring artist who will soon release a new record themed around Indigenization, reconciliation, love, loss and redemption. From Celtic Connections (Glasgow, UK) to National Folk Festival (Canberra, A.U.), his ability to hold an audience and weave melody while juggling light and dark is infectious. Performing with five instruments, Gordie has toured with Fred Eaglesmith, Mary Gauthier & Kelly Joe Phelps, and is a three-time winner of the Western Canadian Music Awards Songwriter of the Year.

Youth Art Enrichment
Youth Art Enrichment is an annual four-day art program for Yukon youth hosted by the Klondike Institute of Art & Culture in Dawson City. Artistically-inclined youth ages 14 – 18 travel from across the Yukon to take part in intensive workshops led by professional artists. Students choose one of three mediums to study for the duration of the program, learning new skills, techniques, and ways to creatively make artwork for the world to see. The mediums change every year: we have offered printmaking, animation, painting, carving, stained glass, illustration, improv, and much more over the last two decades.
