Prince George Folkfest Society is hosting a fall music event called Dak’et, Shun Inli 2023.
Dak’et, Shun Inli is “Music in the Fall” in the Dakelh language and, with support from Lheidli T’enneh First Nation, the society is celebrating arts on Lheidli T’enneh territory with live music and workshops.
An evening concert will take place on Oct. 21 at the newly opened Knox Performance Centre at 1448 Fifth Avenue, followed by workshops on Oct. 22.
The evening concert features artists Mattmac, ZENON+, and Simbiyez Wilson and is an eclectic mix that weaves together elements of pop, hip-hop and R&B.
Mattmac is from Garden Hill First Nation and was born blind. His award-winning debut album was called “20/20” and his second album “Blurred Vision” was released in July.
In August 2023, Mattmac was chosen as the grand prize winner of CBC Music’s Searchlight contest.
ZENON+ is a bi-racial singer/songwriter based in Calgary, Alberta. With soulful R&B vibes and soaring vocals, their debut album "GENRE Z" earned them a 2023 Western Canadian Music Awards "R&B Artist of the Year" nomination.
Opening the show will be Northern BC's very own Wet’suwet’en singer-songwriter Simbiyez Wilson, who has had a busy summer on the Northern B.C. festival circuit.
Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show at 7:30 p.m.. Tickets are $25 (plus taxes and fees).
