Hey there! We’re very excited to be making it back to the Kootenays! We hope you’ll join us for an evening of thoughtful, humorous, and uplifting lyrics swirled gently into an acoustic mix of all original folk sounds and sibling vocal harmonies.

Join us for an uplifting evening concert at the beautiful Nelson United.

Returning from a series of festival performances in Northern BC, Cortes Island folk band Awakeneers will be performing at Nelson United Church on Sunday, July 13^th, at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door, and audience members can look forward to an evening of thoughtful, humorous, and uplifting lyrics swirled gently into an acoustic mix of all original folk sounds and sibling vocal harmonies.

“Several of us grew up in the Valley and cut our teeth as buskers on Baker Street” said Francis, songwriter who plays fiddle and cello with the Awakeneers “It’s been twelve years since our last concert at Nelson United, during that time the music has taken us across two continents and three albums — so it’s pretty swell to be coming back to the Kootenays with the band!”

The Awakeneers will also perform at the SIFCo Resiliency Centre in Winlaw on July 20^th at 5:30 pm.

Currently based on Cortes Island, the Awakeneers are a nomadic tribe of multi-instrumentalist songwriters (most of whom are siblings) who offer a genre-bending blend of acoustic positivity that orbits elliptically around the idea of folk music.
