Workshop Announcement!!

Rahel Nahely will be hosting a workshop Sunday July 19th @ 2:15.

Check out @run_coola

Join Rahel Nahely, a Swiss singer-songwriter and sound and voice arts therapist, for a playful and creative workshop designed for every curious soul. Whether you’re four or 104, this workshop is the perfect place to explore imagination and playfulness through voice and sound, no matter your musical experience.

Together, you’ll co-create a unique soundscape inspired by a shared image. You’ll work in small groups to come up with and tell a story using your voices and instruments or sound-makers you bring. If you have an instrument, please bring it – and feel free to bring more than one to share with others so everybody can join the fun. No instrument? No worries – your voice is an instrument, too, and just bring something along you can create sound with.

This experience is about connection, laughter, curiosity, and discovering the magic of collective storytelling through sound and voice. Come ready to have fun, create and surprise yourself.

Artist Announcement!!

The Highway 20 Ramblers will be playing Friday July 17th in Lobelco Hall.

The Highway 20 Ramblers are brothers Greg and Derek Pulliam, along with local legend Tom “Hammer Tone.” Derek’s been slapping upright bass and handling lead vocals in the country and rockabilly scene for twenty years, while Greg, a longtime Bella Coola resident, has been pounding the drums his whole life. Tom brings the fiery guitar that drives their raw, foot-stomping rockabilly sound straight from the heart of Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and Bill Haley and the Comets.
