SHAWNA CASPI "sings of love, travel, home, and heart, distilling each experience into a series of vibrant snapshots, coloured with humour and grace and arranged with care and craft. Her latest release, Apartments for Lovers, is a solo guitar and voice album that showcases her rich voice and remarkable fingerstyle guitar technique." - www.shawnacaspi.com

“A skilled composer and lyricist; her haunting voice and stunning guitar accompaniment round out this complete folk package. Her personal stories, both humorous and poignant, are told seamlessly through her intriguing lyrics and between-song banter. Every song is a narrative whose clever rhymes and unexpected musical structures ensure that the audience listens to every word, from beginning to end.” – Joanna Mills, O’Hara House Concerts
|
“Shawna Caspi has the rare gift of presence, a warm presence that immediately invites audience engagement, from the first strum of her skilled guitar playing to the last exquisite note she sings. Shawna’s lyrics show, her music and delivery tell; her songs are beautiful stories that stay with listeners long after the CD is spun, long after the gig is over.” – Andy Frank, co-founder of Roots Music Canada

Apartments for Lovers |
"Shawna Caspi was charming and genuine. Her words were thought-provoking and her music was healing. We feel blessed to have met her and we are grateful for her spending her time and talent with us in Owen Sound…This singer/songwriter’s music will warm the soul…even in the cold of a Canadian winter." - David Moss-Cornett, Owen Sound, ON, Mossy Gatherings
RICHARD-YVES SITOSKI
Richard-Yves Sitoski has been living in Owen Sound since 2010 and dropping the Spoken Word mic just as long. A fixture in the arts community who has performed at numerous events throughout the region and beyond, he has returned to his first love, literary verse, and will be reading from his first collection of poems, brownfields (The Ginger Press, 2014).
|
In brownfields, Sitoski charts the progress of Owen Sound from the mythical past through the ages of exploration, colonization, prosperity and uncertainty. Equal parts lament and encomium, brownfields is a chronicle of Owen Sound as both a particular place and as an example of many a small Canadian city struggling to renew itself and find footing in a globalized world.
