ArtsWells Warm Up! Corwin Fox, Naomi Shore & Kitty & the Rooster

Spring has sprung and the countdown is on to our annual celebration of all things art: the 16th ArtsWells Festival! We are excited to present this triple threat performance of original BC musicianship as Naomi Shore, Corwin Fox Music, & Kitty & The Rooster at The Occidental hit the stage at our historic Sunset Theatre on the first day of Spring! For a fun-filled night of festival flair, come dressed in your favourite festival attire for your chance to win rad prizes, take your pics at the photobooth, and bid on our auction offerings.

She’ll be joined by favourite festival friends, Corwin Fox and Kitty and the Rooster.

🌱 Naomi Shore 🌱
With her duo project, Twin Peaks, Naomi has had the good fortune of touring most of Canada as well as the East Coast of Australia. In 2015, Twin Peaks were awarded the Western Canadian Music Award for Roots Duo/Group Recording of the Year for their album, ‘Trouble’.

🌱 Corwin Fox Music 🌱
Corwin Fox is a Canadian songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who has been hailed as “a shining light in Canadian roots music” by Doug Cox (artistic director, Vancouver Island Music Festival). Having toured extensively across Canada, the U.S., and Australia since 1995, Corwin has been spending an increasing amount of time recording and producing other artists across a wide range of genres. He still plays concerts and festivals, performing his songs on banjo, guitar, and ukulele, and he teaches songwriting to youth each summer, but the studio has really become his focus since he founded the Corwin Fox Academy of Perpetual Excellence. Over the years he has played venues large and small, some by himself and some with his other projects such as Morlove or The Chimney Swallows.
