Okotoks musician Emily Rowed will be parking her colourfully painted bus outside Infinitea T- Bar & Boutique on Fifth Street in downtown Fernie in an effort to bring music to places and people it hasn’t reached before.
The 24-year-old singer songwriter has a style spanning jazz, blues and folk with just a touch of rock n roll and her debut album Love on the Line was released in August 2012. She has played to large audiences at the East Coast Music Festival and the Market Collective in Calgary but is now choosing to bring her unique story telling style to new audiences and Fernie is on her list on June 27.
Throughout her three-province journey, dubbed the ‘Love Bus Tour’, as well as playing at small intimate venues she will be playing free shows at hospices and care centres in an effort to spread a little love. “Music is what I have to offer, but I think everyone has their own thing,” she says. “I’m hoping people are touched or inspired.” She is inviting audience members to sign or write positive messages on the tour bus and hopes to make a music video documenting her time on the road.
Make your way to Infinitea T-Bar & Boutique on Thursday June 27 at 8 p.m. to see Emily perform. All ages are welcome and there is no cover. This show marks the first of the Summer series of shows at Infinitea.
