Event Description

Join Cari and friends to celebrate her Vocalist of the Year Award at the Vancouver Island Music Awards 2016.

This evening promises passionate and energetic performances and two new releases! You’ll be the first to:
- SEE Cari’s stunning new music video ‘Gracias a la Vida’, created with Adrian Dolan and Richard Moody, shot by Trent Freeman (The Fretless).
- HEAR her new, original song ‘Open Our Hearts’ - about learning to forgive after lost love.

Joining Cari onstage are Richard Moody (violin), Adrian Dolan (accordion & mandolin), Sean Drabitt (bass), Kelby MacNayr, (percussion) and Sara Marreiros (vocalist).

The concert features songs from Cari’s Album ‘Magnolia’- such as Edith Piaf’s “Le Vie en Rose,” Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now”, “Loveliness” by Anne Schaefer - and numerous new tunes.

The Duncan show is the first stop in Cari’s ‘Celebration Tour - Summer 2016’. Tour highlights include: Salt Spring Island Garlic Fest, Featured Vocalist at Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra’s Summer Fling and an evening concert at Butchart Gardens, complete with fireworks.

Cari’s soaring voice will stir your heart as she takes you around the world through song. Her unique style, ‘Dramatic Gypsy Cabaret’ is a vibrant, genre-defying, fusion of jazz, folk, opera and world music; seamlessly blending multiple languages with a timeless, theatrical air.

If you love Folk, Jazz or World Music, you’ll love this show.
