Calgary Folk Music Festival presents C.R. Avery & the storm collective w/ Sinzere at Festival Hall
Doors: 7 PM Show: 8 PM
--
Pioneering slam poet C.R. Avery is a relentlessly creative musician, author, filmmaker and visual artist. Rumour is his early days were spent beatboxing East Vancouver’s streets while pushing sound equipment in a shopping cart. His sharp poetic lyrics uncover tough topics inside harmonica and beatbox solos in a rarefied experimental rock/blues/gospel/rap mash-up. For him “an album gives a song and its comrades legs to stand on. A composer gets them into the world where they get a running start and do their job, so they grow wings, weed, or shoot lightning bolts in a bank while the bass player robs the vault.” His creations are impactful and empowering -- “sometimes hate needs a kiss.” Have your mind blown and your soul reborn, because while God’s away on business, C.R. Avery has been left in charge.

Winning awards, making killer videos, singing/rapping/freestyling over sick, thick beats: all just another day at the office for Sinzere. She’s a self-proclaimed Bohemian, an avant-garde free spirit who has no room in her life for your drama; she’s too busy honouring her craft. From dancer to award-winning DJ to lyricist/songwriter/hip hop champion, all of Sinzere’s previous and ongoing passions alchemize in her fierce, charismatic performances. She has an expert ear for melody, rhythm and rhyme and uses her voice and words to transport rock, jazz, soul, R&B or reggae to new places but, honestly, the genre is almost inconsequential. For all her Bohemian tendencies, Sinzere is a savvy, unrelenting creator who is amassing a fortune in unique musical currency.
General admission. $10 at the door. Show starts at 9:30 pm.
About Sinzere: Sinzere is a DIY hip-hop tour-de-force. Starting first as a singer, then joining a dance crew, to becoming a dancehall DJ, to rapping, and then melding those modes into one multi-faceted music identity, there is not one side of music that Calgary, AB, based artist Sinzere has not put her mind to.
Hot off her sharp and unabashed mixtape Bohemian (2018), Sinzere has taken no rest, putting out two firey singles in 2019, the sharp ‘Posers’ and sardonic ‘Catching Feelings.’ Not wasting any time, Sinzere is releasing her most ambitious project to date this fall, an emotional and sweeping concept album entitled Ghetto Gabby.
Sinzere is fiercely independent, learning to fend for herself after spending some time living on the streets of Calgary. Her upbringing was anything but warm, from the kidnapping of her single mother to the murder of her musical mentor, to her father becoming both a pimp and an addict, experiences that have pushed her forward, and given her pride in the person she is, her Jamaican heritage, and her history. Her life and energy are woven into the beats of the densely layered Ghetto Gabby, a narrative hip-hopera about a melanated girl growing and evolving, experiences with violence and eventually going over the edge. This is Sinzere’s most personal work, and most diverse, working with Taylor King Beats, Dopeboyzmuzic, and NY Bangers to make her most sonically experimental work to date. The EP comes out at the end of this year on Hers&Herz records, a label which, surprising no one, Sinzere runs herself with her fiancé.
Sinzere isn’t just a singer, rapper, dancer, or DJ. She will escape any box you try to put her in. Like her icons Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot, Foxy Brown, NWA, and Wu Tang Clan, her self and spirit is woven into her music, whether producing on a record, or performing live with her five-piece band, Sinzere will be telling her own story.
About LYRIQUE: Lyrique (pronounced Ly•ric) is an immigrant to Canada from the Philippines who uses music mainly hip hop to express himself and connect with others. With a strong focus on lyricism with out forgetting the value of flow, Lyrique has become a staple in the Calgary hip-hop scene. Whether performing with a DJ, his band The Honor Roll. Or whether in acoustic duets and trios he is consistently challenging himself as a musician and person to grow.
Lyrique is also a member of the Alberta music collective/label: “THE HONOR ROLL MUSIC COLLECTIVE”. With named artists such as K-riz, Karimah, Rebecca Janz and Josh Sahunta to name a few. This has only added gas to Lyrique’s growing tank of musical inspiration and drive.
With 4 EP’s and a few singles released he is finaly settling down to work on his first full length album, Lust, Art, Liqour. infusing funk baselines and Motown inspired harmonies with boom bap and trap he is very excited to bring this project to fruition.
Seating Disclaimer: To accommodate as many live music fans as possible, we offer both seats and standing room at our shows. Seats are first come, first serve. We recommend arriving early if you’d like to be seated during the performance.
