Oktopus
2024-02-08 19:30 - 21:30 | Lester Centre of the Arts, 1100 McBride St, Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada
SHOW DETAILS
Location: Lester Centre of the Arts
Doors open at 7:00pm, show starts at 7:30pm – 9:30pm

Acclaimed with numerous awards, Oktopus is a major presence on the Canadian world music scene, with over 250 performances to its credit at home and abroad. The group is primarily devoted to klezmer, distinguished by a novel approach that incorporates various components of the classical and Quebecois repertoire, with some jazz and Balkan accents. The eight virtuoso musicians offer festive, high-energy performances, at once melancholic and profound, sprinkled with humour and spiced with narrative, in which original compositions and finely-crafted arrangements combine with improvisation. Its members’ complicity, shared passion, and hard work are what makes each of their performances so memorable – whether on stage, in the street, on a ship, in a hot air balloon, or in your living room.
Oktopus is simply….spectentacular!

Alex Cuba
2024-01-20 19:30 - 21:30 | Lester Centre of the Arts, 1100 McBride St, Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada
SHOW DETAILS
Location: Lester Centre of the Arts
Doors open at 7:00pm, show starts at 7:30pm – 9:30pm

Though raised in Artemisa, an hour outside of Havana, Alex Cuba’s artistry is as far-flung as the place he has settled and lived for over 15 years: Smithers, BC. His music at once incorporates his roots and is a unique amalgam of styles, having collaborated with artists ranging from Jason Mraz to Ron Sexsmith and Nelly Furtado; and bringing together melodies, popsoul hooks and rock chords in songs that may seem to bear little resemblance to traditional Cuban form.
A forward-thinking, indie-minded artist, Alex has amassed a steadily-growing following among critics and fans. With over 20 awards and nominations to his name, including 4 Latin Grammys, 2 Juno Awards, and 3 Grammy nominations. He continues to make music at an astounding pace, releasing three albums in the last four years: Sublime (2019), Mendo (2021), and El Swing Que Yo Tengo (2023). His growing boyd of work defines a unique musical place in the Latin diaspora.
“He’s like Marvin Gaye singing soul to a new generation.”
~ Boston Globe
“Alex Cuba is a ground breaking figure, which may say something about the process of giving roots music a cosmopolitan polish.”
~ Nashville Scene
“a master at conveying emotions through songs.”
~ Vancouver Sun
