Featured Arts Fest Performers: The River Boys

Jim Creighton and Ayden Garlinski-Gonski are both fixtures of the Campbell River music scene in their own ways, and have joined forces to create a musical duo you’re sure to love.

Jim is not only the long-time planner and executor behind the City of Campbell River’s Spirit Square concerts downtown, delighting thousands of people in our community, but he’s also been on that stage and dozens of others around the region for….let’s not say exactly how many years.

He's also serving as Willow Point Arts Fest's Sound Technician all day, which we are extremely grateful for.

Ayden will be a familiar face to any musicians in the community, as they’ll have seen him in his role at Long & McQuade, but he has also been a performer in his own right one way or another his entire life here in Campbell River.

They’ll be wrapping up the day on the Willow Point Arts Fest Stage from 3-4pm to bring the event to a close on Sunday, so make sure you’re around for the last hour if you want to enjoy their folky sound.

Featured Arts Fest Musician: Mike Davies

Mike fell in love with music in the 90s, and you can certainly feel that fact in the music he creates.

His songs tell stories of loss, heartbreak and grief, but they also tend to be optimistic about the future, its possibilities and having resilience in the face of personal struggle.

His poignant lyrics and simple yet thoughtful musical compositions will get you thinking, and he’ll be leading off the event on Sept. 6 starting his set at 10am, so come down early to have a listen and hear what he has to say if you’re up for some introspection.

And make sure you go to the Facebook Event and say you're going so you get a reminder. Tons of amazing things happening at Ken Forde Park that day!
