Family Literacy Day Event with Penny Pom Pom

Celebrate Family Literacy Day with children’s entertainer Penny Pom Pom and her friend Fae the Garden Fairy at a free musical multimedia stage show geared to those nine and under. Pre-registration is required at bit.ly/LiteracyDayRegistration.

In this magical show, Penny and Fae take children on a journey through the seasons as they learn all about the natural rhythms of planet earth. Kids are encouraged to sing along with fan favourites like “Dandelion,” “Take off your socks, it’s the Spring Equinox” and “The Pom Pom Song,” and find their own artistic inspiration in the world around them.

Hosted by the Sunshine Coast Literacy Coalition and supported by the Raise-a-Reader campaign and the Sunshine Coast Credit Union.

SC Arts Centre: Artesia Coffee House – Confirmed we are on and see you all tonight

Dress up warm, drive carefully, and join us as we warm the SC Art Centres with some hot live music tonight as we present an eclectic evening starting the night with Jess Hart, a multi-talented musician, and a dynamic composer. Her music is a blend of folk, grunge and soul influences which can be noted in her compositions. She has performed across Canada and toured in Europe, with performances in Germany, Malta, and France.

Following Jess is a father and son duo, Chris, and Solomon Hergesheimer, who will be performing the original songs of ‘Marketplace’; the politically driven, anti-capitalist, hard hitting acoustic folk project.

After a break to completely liven up the place is Caravan Paradiso, a Felliniesque marching band that also occasionally performs in stationary venues. Featuring Graham Ord on soprano sax, Heather Anderson on trombone, Anna Lumiere on accordion and piano, James Law on drums/percussion and sometimes fiddle. This fun and helter skelter band play a style they describe as “funky Romany jazz mashup” featuring film music (Nino Rota – the Godfather, Fellini movies, Austin Powers, Harry Potter) as well as various world music selections (Brazilian, Slavic).

Tasty treats and drinks available for sale.
