Carmanah with Twin Bandit
We are very stoked to return to Vancouver! Come help us launch our new album, "Out of the Woodwork", as we bring it with us on our first Western-Canadian tour! We are especially excited to be joined by the talented duo, Twin Bandit, out of Vancouver.
CARMANAH

Members of Carmanah named the band in honour of the many people who worked to keep the old growth trees in the Carmanah Valley of Vancouver Island safe from logging companies in 1988. Through protest, civil disobedience, and chaining themselves to the biggest Sitka Spruces in the world, the Canada Wilderness Committee, First Nations Peoples and other passionate British Columbians were awarded with the creation of Carmanah Pacific Provincial Park in 1990.
The band is proud to embrace the energy of the beautiful west-coast of Canada. Carmanah has captivated audiences of all ages and musical preferences with a sound that incorporates folk, funk, rock, reggae and country. Abounding with musical energy, original writing and the dedication to do whatever it might take, Carmanah is excited to be growing into the Canadian music scene.
Highlights for the band include, opening for Ziggy Marley at the Royal Theatre, playing at Rifflandia Music Festival 2012, being a Zone 91.3 Band of the Month in April, 2013, and playing a Canadian Music Festival showcase performance in Toronto, March 2013. They have had the pleasure of performing with some of BC's best acts, including Current Swell, Jon & Roy, Vince Vaccaro, and Wake Owl.
In May of 2014, the group will be taking Carmanah's new album on a three week tour of western-Canada. Along with evening gigs, they have teamed up the the Jellyfish Project - an educational initiative that brings music and environmental awareness into middle and high schools. Through music, the JFP teaches students about the declining health of our oceans and gets them involved in the environmental conversation, providing examples for awareness and ways to get active.
We see the challenges that our world faces today and believe that, for us, music is the best way to speak our minds. We look forward to meeting you one day and to hearing what you have to say.

Twin Bandit is Hannah Walker and Jamie Elliott. Together they bring you an intimate folk/roots performance with strong harmonies & original songs.
"Jamie and Hannah, your two original duets were simply some of the sweetest, most lovely things I've ever heard, and I regret that my most prosaic of souls could not express that in any more meaningful way that evening. Brad...a man of far more poetic nature, described your songs as having left him tingling and aglow. I can't remember the lyrics or the melodies of the music you offered, but I will never forget how it made me feel." . -Jonathan Andrew Govias, Conductor
