"Delightfully soothing - a calming voice for troubled times"

Join us for a heart-stirring evening of songs and stories with Shauna Janz, accompanied by Martin Matychuk on cello.

Shauna is “perhaps something of an unusual combination in the music business – a grief support worker and educator who found music as a method for creative release, but turned it into an upstart and promising career” (Nanaimo Daily News, August 2015). And the passion she has for her work translates into her songs in themes about the strength of the human heart and resilience of the human spirit – about reaching into the rough and beautiful places that are a catalyst for transformation and love.

Shauna released a self-recorded EP in November 2014, which landed a nomination for her single Redwood as “Song of the Year” at the 2015 Vancouver Island Music Awards. Her full length studio album, This Regal Heart, was released in June 2016, recorded at yourSOUNDSCAPEstudio in Victoria and mastered at Gotham City Studios, Vancouver (Sarah McLaughlin, Heart, Delirium).

Receiving vocal training from various soprano and folk/pop teachers, most recently at the Victoria Conservatory and Yanik Giroux Performing Arts Studio, her indie-folk sounds are described as "lyrical, soulful, warm" and "stunning and memorable; a unique voice that combines folk with soul and dances between notes and cadences with ease and unpredictability."

Audiences can expect fascinating guitar tunings, haunting finger-picking melodies, punctuated by driving rhythms, and set amongst both ethereal soprano sounds and strong spirited vocals.
