SUMMARY:Gordie Tentrees & Bob Hamilton • Mean Old World Tour
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed Yukon-based singer/songwriter Gordie Tentrees releases his eighth album\, Mean Old World\, a 10-song collection of soul-stirring\, unapologetically rough-hewn songs\, appropriately recorded over the course of a week of minus-35 degree weather here in Whitehorse OCT. 20 at YUKON ARTS CENTRE w/Dakhka Khwaan Juniors and special guest musicians. \nThis week (Sept. 27) the new record debuts at #6 on Canada on Folk Roots Charts\nhttps://www.earshot-online.com/charts/index.cfm?intChartTypeID=107\nAs of Sept. 28 in the US it was the most added record on the National Folk Charts coming in at #20 along with the likes of Jackson Browne\, Tim O’Brien and Son Volt. \nGordie Tentrees has made his most impressive musical statement to date\, proving that Canadian songwriters are among the best in the world—even if they’re from the furthest corners of the country. \nCheck out the raving review from Canadian Music Mag Spill\nhttps://spillmagazine.com/spill-album-review-gordie-tentrees-mean-old-world/ \nWorking with a small combo of acoustic multi-instrumentalists that includes Bob Hamilton of the Undertakin’ Daddies and Jaxon Haldane of the D-Rangers\, Tentrees uses a distinctly Canadian style of roots music as the foundation for 10 new songs that are by turns joyful and thought-provoking in the style of Corb Lund and Fred Eaglesmith\, artists to whom Tentrees is often compared. \nThe themes contained on Mean Old World stem from his family’s journey in navigating the Child Welfare system. Songs such as “Every Child\,” “Rosetta” and especially the album’s title track are reflections of truth\, loss\, hope\, colonialism and growth that have come from these first-hand experiences. \n“It’s been a long time since I have believed in a batch of tunes like these\,” Tentrees says. “I think ‘Wind Walker’ especially is a reminder that we northern folks move to the beat of our own drum\, and that’s why we live here. There are positives and negatives to that\, particularly when you’re a non-Indigenous parent to an Indigenous child. I think I conveyed that in ‘Every Child’ and ‘Mean Old World.’ ‘Every Child’ also features The Dakhka Kwaan Dancers and they have taught me a lot through their inclusive warmth and creativity.” \nTentrees has certainly earned the respect of his peers\, not only through his writing\, but also his tireless international touring regimen that has averaged over a hundred shows a year for the past decade and a half. Being forced off the road in 2020 added a different vibe to Mean Old World\, allowing for more focus to be placed on developing the songs\, while also giving Gordie some added time to appreciate his community. \nSlowing down is certainly something Tentrees had not considered up until now. He adopted a bulldog attitude during a difficult childhood in Hamilton\, Ontario\, and later on a farm in Bancroft\, Ontario. He found focus in his teens through boxing and earned a Golden Glove ranking—illustrated on Mean Old World’s rousing closer “Ring Speed”—while also dispensing his life lessons as a teacher and youth worker. He actually didn’t consider a music career until his early twenties after moving to the Yukon. \nHowever\, Tentrees quickly made fans once his songs started being heard\, the most crucial being Fred Eaglesmith who took Gordie on his first tours of Europe and the U.S.\, becoming a mentor in the process. Tentrees has since shared stages with Blackie & The Rodeo Kings\, Mary Gauthier\, Kelly Joe Phelps and many more. \nNow with Mean Old World\, Gordie Tentrees has made his most impressive musical statement to date\, proving that Canadian songwriters are among the best in the world—even if they’re from the furthest corners of the country. \nMean Old World is available through Bandcamp\, Apple Music and tentrees.ca/music. The official video for “Wind Walker” released on Sept.14 https://youtu.be/33c4e4jSwno \n\n\n\n\n\nMasks required • As per public health orders\, patrons must show proof of vaccination for entry

Join us for what will be a fabulous evening of live music and song. \nThe Ebbs \nThe Ebbs are an indie folk band based in Prince George\, British Columbia\, Canada. Singer-songwriters William Kuklis and Joe Shea\, have joined forces with fiddle virtuoso Finn Scott-Neff to push their original songs into uncharted territories. The trio brings years of experience creating and performing music to the stage\, and combine a range of instruments and vocal harmonies to create a new and inescapable sound in the Canadian music scene. \n\nWilliam Kuklis \nCanadian singer-songwriter and actor William Kuklis has been commanding stages with his powerhouse vocals\, emotion and charisma for over 20 years.  Musically\, Kuklis takes his inspiration from a wide array of genres and has been compared to artists such as Matt Andersen\, Van Morrison\, Steven Page\, and John Popper.

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. \n\nJoe Shea \nBorn 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. \nwww.josephsheamusic.ca \nwww.trundledmusic.com \nSOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: \nThe Ebbs | Facebook \nThe Ebbs – YouTube \nVideos: \nFacebook – After Nine \nFacebook – Live at Coldsnap \n Masks required • As per public health orders\, patrons must show proof of vaccination for entry

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Much Ado About Nothing
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $10\nRunning Time: 110 minutes\nGenre: Comedy\, Drama\, Romance\nRating: PG-13 (for momentary sensuality) \nActor Kenneth Branagh made his directorial debut with a rousing screen adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Henry V.

Don Pedro (Denzel Washington)\, the Prince of Aragon\, returns victorious from battle to the praises of the Governor of Messina\, Leonato (Richard Briers). One of Don Pedro’s bravest men\, Claudio (Robert Sean Leonard)\, falls in love with Hero (Kate Beckinsale)\, Leonato’s daughter\, and they plan to marry. However\, Don Pedro’s devious half-brother Don John (Keanu Reeves) opposes the match\, and he devises a plan to turn Hero against Claudio. Meanwhile\, Benedict (Branagh)\, Don Pedro’s second-in-command\, detests Leonato’s niece Beatrice (Emma Thompson)\, but Don Pedro cleverly brings them together by making each think that the other is secretly in love with them. Much Ado About Nothing also features Michael Keaton in a showy turn as Dogberry. \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGlmhwa0zjw

SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open
DESCRIPTION:One woman’s decision to comfort a stranger she finds crying in the street leads to a revealing and powerful conversation between two Indigenous women from very different circumstances\, in this poignant collaboration from Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers and Kathleen Hepburn. In an audacious act of heroism and kindness\, Áila (Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers) chooses to console a young woman she finds barefoot and sobbing in the streets. She soon discovers that Rosie (Violet Nelson) has just escaped an assault by her boyfriend. Compelled to take action\, Áila chooses to bring Rosie into her home and\, over the course of the evening\, the two women explore the after-effect of this traumatic event. \nThe Body Remembers When the World Broke Open is a brilliant\, poignant collaboration between two of Canada’s brightest — and boldest — filmmakers. Tailfeathers\, a member of the Kainai First Nation as well as Sámi from Norway\, triples as lead\, co-writer\, and co-director. She shares writing and directing with Kathleen Hepburn\, whose 2017 film Never Steady\, Never Still premiered at the Festival and was named to TIFF’s Canada’s Top Ten. \nUsing 16mm and presenting their narrative in “real time\,” the filmmakers craft a delicate intimacy\, which lends emotion to this remarkable story of two women’s resilience\, strength\, and mutual support. Taking its title from an essay by Indigenous poet Billy-Ray Belcourt\, and based on a watershed moment in Tailfeathers’ life\, this story of a chance encounter between two women — living in the same Vancouver neighbourhood\, but coming from distinct worlds of class and lived experience — reveals the necessity for Indigenous people to look out for each other in a society that’s too often indifferent to their existence. \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l3WC4wl-SY \nHere are our Covid 19 Protocols for all Sunset Theatre events. \n• If you are unwell stay home – even if those symptoms are not Covid 19 related\n• Seating capacity is limited to @ 20 to 28 patrons depending on Pod sizes\n• For everyone’s comfort & safety we thank you in advance for wearing a mask\n• We provide masks at the sign in table if you don’t have your own\n• 1 person per party must sign in w/ contact info.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: The World is Bright
DESCRIPTION:When an elderly Chinese couple are notified by the Canadian government about their son Shi-Ming’s sudden death and burial on Canadian soil\, they embark on a decade-long investigation to uncover the truth behind his tumultuous life as a young immigrant in Canada. Skilfully employing a docu-thriller style and staying steadfastly committed to the story\, director Ying Wang follows the grieving parents for ten years as they navigate a new culture and a complex web of bureaucracy in search of answers. While tracing Shi-Ming’s footsteps through re-enactments and interviews with those closest to him\, Wang explores the intricate connection between parental expectations\, migration and mental health. A powerful testament to parental devotion\, The World is Bright takes a look at mental health within immigrant communities through the sensitive portrayal of two parents channeling their grief into hope. \n– Mariam Zaidi \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzobfAm7CA8 \nHere are our Covid 19 Protocols for all Sunset Theatre events. \n• If you are unwell stay home – even if those symptoms are not Covid 19 related\n• Seating capacity is limited to @ 20 to 28 patrons depending on Pod sizes\n• For everyone’s comfort & safety we thank you in advance for wearing a mask\n• We provide masks at the sign in table if you don’t have your own\n• 1 person per party must sign in w/ contact info.

SUMMARY:FILM: Moonrise Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965\, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love\, make a secret pact\, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down\, a violent storm is brewing off-shore — and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle. Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl’s parents. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton\, Jason Schwartzman\, and Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as the boy and girl. \nRating:\nPG-13 (for sexual content and smoking) \nGenre:\nComedy \nDirected By:\nWes Anderson \nWritten By:\nWes Anderson\, Roman Coppola \nRuntime:\n94 minutes \nCritical Mass: Tomatometer – 93% Audience Score – 86% \n“There are many echoes of Anderson’s earlier films\, particularly Rushmore and Tenenbaums. He’s an unapologetic romantic and Moonrise Kingdom is a study in wish-fulfillment.” \n– Sandra Hall\, Sydney morning Herald”This is a beautiful ode to first love with Anderson’s trademark style. The writing is sharp and witty and the cinematography and set designs are extraordinary. Moonrise Kingdom looks like a Norman Rockwell painting come to life.” \n– Michael Compton\, Bowling Green Daily News
