Sat, Apr 15th, 8-10pm, Concert – Rick Scott and Nico Rhodes: ROOTS & GROOVES Hillbilly concertos, Appalachian grooves, ferocious folk funk Veteran dulcimer ace and young keyboard maverick join forces for an intergenerational smorgasbord of roots, rhythm and groove!

This collaboration has been decades in the making. At age 8 Nico wrote Rick a fan letter and at age 23 he orchestrated Rick’s music for symphony. Equally proficient on keyboards and woodwinds, he’s in constant demand across Canada as an arranger and musical director for stage shows from Chemainus to Ontario, when not playing jazz with his own trio or touring to promote ‘Full Circle’, his duo CD with his mother, renowned chanteuse Joelle Rabu. www.joellerabu.com

Since pioneering rogue folk with iconic BC trio Pied Pumkin, Rick Scott has released 18 recordings and performed in nine countries. Singer, songwriter, dulcimer master and raconteur, he has forged his own genre combining music and humour to uplift and refresh the human spirit. With separate repertoires geared to adult and family audiences, he`s been honoured with three Juno nominations, Western Canadian, Parents’ Choice, NAPPA Gold and Canadian Folk Music Awards. He’s Goodwill Ambassador for the Down Syndrome Research Foundation and curator of the Protection Island Museum. www.rickscott.ca The Lovers http://www.rickscott.ca/sites/default/files/images/Sample%20The%20Lovers.mp3
