SUMMARY:AKOUSTIK
DESCRIPTION:Akoustik at St. Charles is back again this week with Joly and De Flore! Join us at St. Charles market from 6pm – 8pm \nAkoustik at St. Charles is a FREE outdoor live music event right here in Vanier. It’s held at the St. Charles Market at the corner of Beechwood Avenue and St. Charles Street. We’ll see you there! \nNo tickets required. \n\nJOLY\nIt’s with their first EP\, Au plus bas\, with its heavy sound and unique vocal timbre\, that the JOLY project stood out. With their most recent album DEUIL\, released on March 17\, Marc-Antoine Joly and his bandmates\, Simon Joly and Patrick Harrison\, present the show Évade-toi\, which will surely please all music lovers. From folk to rock all the way to grunge\, JOLY is listened to with the heart\, shared with emotions\, and it’s felt from the gut! \nDE FLORE\nDe Flore is a rendezvous of vaporous bedroom pop\, nu-disco with the French-touch and sensual neo-psychedelic. With a supernatural complicity that dates back to before they were even born\, the duo composed of Sarah-Anne LaCombe and Mathieu Gauthier\, let themselves be seduced by the time that escapes and the velvet that surrounds them. With a lace of new songs bearing an indie\, sexy and groovy signature\, the two self-taught natives of Hawkesbury and L’Orignal project a nostalgic vibe in pastel colors. On stage\, the evasive voice delivers surreal images on hypnotic guitar riffs\, psychedelic synthesizers\, and lungy beats. Their muffled and sparkling energy gives off a heat that sometimes requires fans. \n

SUMMARY:AKOUSTIK
DESCRIPTION:Akoustik at St. Charles is back again this week with Nambi and Ras Lee! Join us at St. Charles market from 6pm – 8pm \nAkoustik at St. Charles is a FREE outdoor live music event right here in Vanier. It’s held at the St. Charles Market at the corner of Beechwood Avenue and St. Charles Street. We’ll see you there! \nNo tickets required. \n\nNAMBI\nTenacious\, and achingly pure\, singer-songwriter NAMBI (formerly known as Rita Carter) is a powerhouse of acoustic soul. Whether performing solo or with her undeniably talented band\, The Rhythm (formed in 2018)\, NAMBI’s reputation as a sincere performer has led her to notable stages and festivals\, such as The National Arts Centre (2018\, 2020\, 2023)\, Ottawa Bluesfest (2018\, 2020\, 2022)\, House of Paint (2014\, 2017)\, MEGAPHONO (2018\, 2019)\, Westfest (2018)\, and CRANIUM Festival (2023). Influenced by legendary singer/songwriters like Tracy Chapman\, Lauryn Hill\, and India Arie\, at the heart of Nambi’s music lies an inextinguishable belief in using art as an expressive tool for love\, compassion\, and peace. \nRAS LEE\nRas Lee\, born Lee Morris in 1952\, in Montego Bay\, Jamaica\, comes from a family of rich musical credentials. Growing up in Montego Bay\, his mother Mertella Morris was a choir leader in the Church of God of Prophecy where a young Ras Lee started singing in Sunday School. He would later sing for the church in various locations around the island. His father\, Thomas Morris\, known as Anancy\, was a well-known lead singer of a Calypso band and worked at the various resort hotels in Montego Bay. Again\, a young Ras Lee started working with his dad\, appearing in some of the shows. Ras Lee moved to Canada in 1979 and never left his love for reggae music. He continued his musical career and performed with many top reggae acts including Heaven’s Radio\, Roots Revival (led by Ernie Smith)\, Toronto’s Reggae AllStar\, and Ottawa’s Magic Circle. In Ottawa\, Ras Lee founded the band Roots Movement\, which continues today\, led by bassist Owen Brown. In 2012\, he was crowned Ottawa Reggae Ambassador in recognition of his work over the years in the Ottawa community as a reggae artist. In 2018\, Ras Lee released the song “Don’t Give Up\,” a track produced by CanJam music. Ras Lee continues to perform in various venues and music festivals throughout Ontario and Quebec\, Canada\, as a lead vocalist and with his band\, The Vibes Band. Ras Lee is actively working on his next album. “May the force of goodness be with you all” ~ Ras Lee
