Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Lheidli T’enneh artist, performer and cultural ambassador Kym Gouchie’s traditional hand drum, acoustic guitar, full-bodied voice and authentic storytelling make her a powerful force. Indigenous, folk, roots and subtle country tones alongside Kym’s poignant lyrics and eloquent delivery have a stirring impact on her audience, instilling hope and inspiration. She’ll be performing as a full band with a tantalizing blend of accompanists on cello, bass, keys and vocal harmonies, featuring a variety of her music including some heartwarming songs from her new album, Shun bet nats’ujeh (we heal through songs). Kym is known for her unique and memorable performances and this show will open your heart.

“Kym Gouchie is an artist who has the ability to momentarily make us feel that time can stand still. Performing with a combination of soulful expression, focused intent, integrity, and artistic depth, Kym Gouchie embraces and holds audiences while imparting messages and truths in songs that need to be heard. Kym is a truly unique artist who seamlessly blends the contemporary with the traditional.”

We had an amazing performance with Kym and her bandmates. She’s incredible. I was very moved by her stories and songs... just the right mix of poignancy and joy. So grateful for the experience.”
