He has shared stages with such artists as Alicia Witt, Craig Cardiff, David Ross Macdonald, The Be Good Tanyas, and John Bottomely.

Finn Scott-Neff
Hailing from the north coast of California, Finn Scott-Neff got his start playing with the Humboldt Music Academy fiddlers and has played fiddle and classical throughout his childhood. Finn transitioned to a broader range of genres in high school, and has played in bands such as Klez Encounters, Feedback, Destination Moon, and Mom is the New Dad. Finn Scott-Neff employs his passion for music and personal growth to his daily life and as guest performer with a multitude of other acts, and is stoked to be playing in The Ebbs.

Joe Shea
Born in Ontario but driven west against the prevailing winds, singer-songwriter Joe Shea builds songs around historical, fictional, and personal experiences and places. He plays a range of instruments (acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, and keyboards) over a broad canvas of musical influences that include Radiohead, Wilco, and the Lumineers. With the musical duo Trundled, Joe has recently performed at the Canmore Folk Fest, the Coldsnap Music Festival, and fourteen stories underground at the bottom of a cave for the Spirit in the Mountain concert series. And he once covered “Common People” by Pulp for the British Ambassador to Nepal.

Gallery Hours Wed – Sunday 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Boreal Relief is a collection of linocut prints based on images drawn from the forest that surrounds my home and studio in the Yukon.
What started as prints on paper have evolved into three-dimensional paper sculptures and wearable prints on clothing. The sculptures and clothing items echo the images of boreal flora and fauna found in the wall art, creating a sense of being present in the natural environment.
The work in this collection is both a celebration of the beauty and tranquility of the boreal forest as well as an expression of a desire to blend into nature.
In our world, there has been an increasing disconnection from the natural environment, but recently there is a growing desire to reconnect with nature for reflection, relaxation and healing. The past two years have heightened this longing for a peaceful escape. Spending time in the Boreal forest is a gift that can provide this relief.
Martha Ritchie
Martha Jane Ritchie is an Artist and Printmaker who lives in Haines Junction, Yukon Territory, Canada with her husband and two sons.
While attending Emily Carr College of Art, Martha majored in printmaking and discovered Linocuts. She graduated with honours and continued working in the medium for the next 30 years.
Her current work is drawn from the natural environment that surrounds her home in Haines Junction, Yukon.
