SUMMARY:Trail: Josephine\, a burlesque cabaret dream play
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Trail & District Arts Council presents international award-winning one-woman biographical musical Josephine\, a burlesque cabaret dream play\, at The Bailey Theatre on Monday\, February 2 at 7:30 pm as part of the Performing Arts Trail series. \nCritically-acclaimed off-Broadway and International touring show Josephine\, a burlesque cabaret dream play returns to the West Kootenays with new content\, new songs\, and some stunning new costumes. A combination of cabaret\, theatre and dance\, Tymisha Harristells the story of the iconic Josephine Baker\, the first African-American international superstar and one of the most remarkable figures of the 20th Century. \nPlease note this show has Parental Advisory: Mature Content\, including nudity and suggestive artistic display. \nJosephine Baker was born in St. Louis in 1906\, and while only achieving moderate success in the United States\, she became an international superstar after moving to France in the early 1920’s. She starred alongside white romantic leading men in films in the 30’s\, had multiple interracial marriages and homosexual relationships\, and performed in men’s clothing before the term “drag” existed in the lexicon. \nJosephine was also a spy for the French Resistance\, a civil rights activist\, and the mother of 12 adopted children from 4 continents. Her success in France and Europe often gave her the opportunity to live freely without the racial oppression of her home nation\, though she never stopped yearning for acceptance in America. \nJosephine debuted at the 2016 San Diego Fringe Festival where it won “Outstanding Solo Performance” and “Best Show”. Josephine toured throughout North America in 2017\, picking up awards and 5 star reviews at every stop\, including the 2017 Fringe Encore series award for “Outstanding Production” award. For the off-Broadway run at Soho Playhouse\, where it sold out performances and received high critical acclaim.\, Tymisha Harris was nominated for a 2018 Vivian Robinson AUDELCO Award for Outstanding Solo Performance. \nThen\, in the summer of 2018\, the show traveled across Canada to five festivals\, and was the top selling show at every one of them\, earning another dozen awards. And\, in 2020\, the show received rave reviews\, sold out and extended its run at the Adelaide Fringe Festival (the second largest in the world)\, and received a coveted “Critics Circle Award”. \nJosephine “…is a perfect piece of theatre for the time we are currently in” ★★★★★ – Plays To See NYC\n“In a period of profound division in the world\, we are excited to present the story of a woman who broke boundaries of race\, gender\, and sexuality in a time before America had begun coming to terms with the concept of diversity.” – Producer/Director/co-Creator Michael Marinaccio \nTymisha Harris (aka “Tush”) has been performing professionally for over 25 years. Her early credits include assistant choreographer and backup dancing for the 90’s pop group N*SYNC\, backup dancer for LFO\, and a featured role in the hit movie series “Bring It On”. More recent endeavors include the national tour of “Rock of Ages”\, a European tour with the innovative and world-renowned Pilobulus Dance Theater Company\, and founding member and Assistant Director/Choreographer of the successful Orlando based troupe\, VarieTease. \nSingle tickets are $30. Under 30 years is $15.\nAll tickets available online at trail-arts.com\, by phone at 250-368-9669\, and in person at the Bailey Box Office at 1501 Cedar Ave.\, Trail. \nThis performance celebrates Black History month and is made possible thanks to our sponsors Century 21 (Kootenay Homes Ltd.\,)\, Pharmasave Trail\, TECK Trail Operations and the support of our funders the BC Arts Council\, BC Live Performance Network\, and the Government of Canada. We also gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia.

SUMMARY:Trail: The Fretless with Madeleine Roger
DESCRIPTION:The Trail & District Arts Council presents Juno award-winners The Fretless with Madeleine Roger at The Bailey Theatre on Tuesday\, January 27 at 7:30 pm as part of the Performing Arts Trail series. \nThe Fretless is a Canadian string group reimagining folk music for today. With deep traditional roots and a modern edge\, they blend old-school sounds with fresh energy—making traditional music feel new\, exciting\, and totally relevant. \nThis quartet pushes the boundaries of what a string quartet can do. With a distinctly rich and multi-layered sound\, they transform fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate\, beautiful\, high-energy arrangements. \nThe Fretless is Trent Freeman (Fiddle/Viola)\, Karrnnel Sawitsky (Fiddle/Viola)\, Ben Plotnick (Fiddle/Viola)\, and Eric Wright (Cello).\nAwards:\n“Waterbound” in 2012: Winner of Instrumental Album of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards (WCMA) and Instrumental Group of the Year and Ensemble of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards (CFMA).\n“The Fretless” in 2014: Winner of Instrumental Album of the Year (WCMA) and Ensemble of the Year (CFMA).\n“Live from the Art Farm” in 2019: Winner of Instrumental Album of the Year (CFMA).\n“Bird’s Nest” In 2017: Winner of the JUNO award for Instrumental Album of The Year. \nThe Fretless are just as likely to perform at a concert hall (most recently\, halls such as the Royal Glasgow Concert Hall in Scotland\, The Colon Philharmonie in Germany\, or the National Arts Centre in Ottawa) as a folk festival (such as Vancouver Island Folk Fest\, Winnipeg Folk Fest\, Memoirs et Racines). They can be found playing a pub one day and a chamber music festival the next. \nThe band is taking their innovative and vibrant version of a string quartet to countless corners of the musical world\, bringing audiences on a journey that transcends genre\, defies stereotypes\, and can only be described as The Fretless. \n“It isn’t often that you come across instrumental music so beautiful that each track feels like brush strokes in a piece of artwork.” – Ben Ray\, Cherwell \nJoining them on this tour for a night of passionately expressive music is incredible singer-songwriter Madeleine Roger\, whose lyrical prowess and breathtaking melodies linger long after they are sung. Her regular collaborations with The Fretless include live performances and recordings as a vocalist and co-writer.\nMadeleine has toured extensively across Canada\, Europe\, USA\, and the UK sharing her music live at the Winnipeg Folk Festival\, Shetland Island Folk Festival\, Vancouver Island Music Festival\, Stan Rogers Folk Festival\, Summerfolk Festival of Arts and Crafts\, among others. She has been nominated for awards as English Songwriter of the Year (2020 Canadian Folk Music Awards) and Producer of the Year 2019 Western Canadian Music Awards). \nSingle tickets are $30.

SUMMARY:Trail: Metropolitan Opera's La Bohème
DESCRIPTION:La Bohème (Puccini) – Encore\nSaturday January 10 9:55am \nWith its enchanting setting and spellbinding score\, the world’s most popular opera is as timeless as it is heartbreaking. Franco Zeffirelli’s picture-perfect production brings 19th-century Paris to the Met stage as Puccini’s young friends and lovers navigate the joy and struggle of bohemian life. Sopranos Juliana Grigoryan\, Angel Blue\, and Aleksandra Kurzak trade off as the feeble seamstress Mimì\, opposite tenors Freddie De Tommaso\, Stephen Costello\, Adam Smith\, and Long Long as the ardent poet Rodolfo. \nThe Royal Theatre in Trail broadcasts the Metropolitan Opera Encore performances from New York City in glorious HD on the big screen. Encore shows are captured during the live production and shown with us\, at a later date. The Royal Theatre plays host to hundreds of people who travel from miles around to attend this wonderful and highly sought after production. \nOne of only a handful of theatres providing this service\, and the only one in the Kootenay’s\, the Royal Theatre is proud to have the MET Opera on their screen\, and extend their invitation to all of you to come enjoy. \n  \nTickets: https://ticketing.useast.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=td0z6g5kym5m2hcxmeb14jxg9w

SUMMARY:Tenise Marie Album Launch @ Key City Theatre w/ Aline Deanna
DESCRIPTION:7:30 pm MST \nPresented by Key City Theatre: \nTenise Marie is a Canadian songwriter\, vocalist\, multi-instrumentalist\, performer\, and recording artist based in Nelson\, British Columbia. \nGrowing up\, her voice was guided by bold female singer songwriters like Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez. Throughout her musical life\, she has fallen in love with Soul\, R&B\, Gospel\, Jazz\, and most recently has begun exploring and reclaiming the sounds of her West Asian roots. Tenise’s music weaves together each of these influences\, while remaining focused on lyrics that cause us to examine our own humanity. \nTenise’s original music pairs soulful vocals with acoustic instruments\, crafting a unique blend of Western and Eastern folk music\, reflective of her own mixed European and Assyrian heritage. As Olivia Herring from Music Mecca described Tenise’s ballad “Drawn to You” from her 2021 album Storm: “Watching Marie perform is an emotional experience…coming of age\, falling in love\, and exploring the world are just the surface level of inspiration in Marie’s pieces”. \nA storyteller and traveller at heart\, Tenise is inspired by adventure and connection. Her songs deliver folky nostalgia and romance\, offering “jazzy folk-pop ambience…luminous vocals and clear-eyed\, confessional lyrics” (Darryl Sterdan\, Tinnitist). \nTenise Marie performs the range of human emotion through story and song\, navigating heartbreak and humour with insightful lyrics\, travel anecdotes\, and unique musical landscapes. \nHer new album\, Off The Record\, was recorded and released in July 2025 with support from Creative BC and the Province of British Columbia. \nWith Off The Record\, “Tenise Marie opens up a deeply personal chapter\, one that traces emotional vulnerability\, cultural reconnection\, and the quiet unraveling of perfectionism. As the title track to her new album\, Off The Record doesn’t just set the tone\, it is the tone. Honest\, reflective\, and soul-stirring” (Mischa Plouffe\, Buzz Music). \nThe record features a collection of songs written for her Research & Creation songwriting project with the Canada Council for the Arts\, inspired by her experience travelling to the Assyrian homeland in Iraq with GISHRU: Bridge to Assyria. \nOpener: Aline Deanna \n~ Soulful Country/Folk songs with catchy melodies and cheeky lyrics ~ \nAline aims to capture the present moment with poeticism and humor all wrapped up in a bow of timeless country melodies. She is original and cunning in her songwriting and lends a nod to ever inspiring songwriters such as John Hartford and Lucinda Williams. Drawing you in with her candid lyrics she can tell an entire story in one sentence with her unique voice. Inspired by the likes of Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch the spirit of old time country music rings loud in her singing and songwriting and is uplifted with a modern dose of Americana. \nAline has performed at the Oregon Country Fair\, Kluane Bluegrass Festival – Yukon\, Whitefish Songwriters Festival – Montana\, Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival – Austin TX\, Tiny Lights Festival – Ymir BC\, Woodstove Festival – Cumberland BC. She has showcased at Folk Alliance International (2025) & Your Roots Are Showing Ireland (2024) and tours frequently across Canada and Europe.

SUMMARY:Kootenay Chamber Players - Songs of the New World
DESCRIPTION:Join the Kootenay Chamber Strings for a radiant afternoon of music celebrating Antonín Dvořák’s time in the New World. Written during his stay in the United States in the 1890s\, Dvořák’s String Quartet in F major\, Op. 96 (“American”) and String Quintet in E-flat major\, Op. 97 overflow with the composer’s signature lyricism\, rhythmic vitality\, and heartfelt warmth. \nInspired by the open landscapes of America and infused with echoes of his Bohemian homeland\, these two masterworks capture a unique moment of musical cross-pollination—where folk melodies\, spirituals\, and Dvořák’s own deeply rooted sense of melody come together in perfect harmony. \nThis intimate concert offers a rare opportunity to hear both of Dvořák’s “American” works side by side—an afternoon of glowing string sound\, storytelling\, and spirited ensemble playing. \nAbout the Kootenay Chamber Players \nThe Kootenay Chamber Players bring together five accomplished musicians who share a deep love of collaboration\, creativity\, and community. Drawing on diverse musical backgrounds—from classical and folk traditions to jazz and contemporary styles—the group brings an open-hearted approach to performance that reflects their Kootenay roots: down-to-earth\, adventurous\, and passionate about sharing their craft. \nThe ensemble features Natasha Hall and Spring Burke on violins\, Martine denBok on viola\, Jeff Faragher on cello\, and Rob Fahie on double bass. Together\, they create performances that are rich in warmth\, connection\, and joy—music made by friends\, for friends.
