Emily Bachynski of Bitter North is leading our Femme Producer Workshop on March 8th! This virtual workshop is an opportunity for women and non-binary artists to learn about production in a safe, explorative environment. Members can sign up at the link in our bio! #factorfundedwomensday

Emily Bachynski literally tripped into her career as a sound engineer at the age of twenty-one. After stumbling into the sound booth at a local venue, she has been working non-stop as a live sound engineer, owner and operator of Bitter North Studios, and a producer. Spending most of her early career as a touring engineer, she has taken the last couple years to make music of her own, and focus on the production side of the business. Bachynski is sought after for her vintage twist on modern music, drawing inspiration from Motown recording techniques. Bachynski is about performance over perfection, lives for a good hang, and is still in Edmonton.

Have you heard? Leila Sidi of TunaTone Instruments

Have you heard? Leila Sidi of TunaTone Instruments is leading a guitar set-up workshop on March 11th in celebration of International Women's Day! Members and non-members can sign up at the link in our bio! #factorfundedwomensday

Leila is inspired by the futuristic and resourceful designs of mid-century American and Japanese catalogue guitars. As such, TunaTone instruments are boldly simple, embodying a commitment to the fundamental importance of every element that comprises the whole, finished guitar. Built with accessibility in mind, TunaTone guitars are small, lightweight and geometrically designed to be played comfortably for people of a small stature for long periods of time. Leila knows that guitars are meant to enable a player to do their best playing, not provide a barrier to overcome. In addition to their playability, TunaTone Instruments have a lively and responsive sound, producing a warm and well-rounded tone.

We celebrated our big 35th anniversary with a province-wide performance event in Alberta towns and cities. Artists on the 2020 tour performed live in groups of three in Edmonton, Stony Plain, & Canmore, before having to cancel in person events in Calgary and Lethbridge due to COVID.

It's time to celebrate yet another year of Alberta Music and in doing so, we want to showcase the artists that didn't get the chance to share their music! Mark your calendars and head on over to our Facebook page on March 5th and 6th for live performances from 6 phenomenal Alberta artists.

On March 5th, listen to Southern Alberta country artist Trevor Panczak, roots rock wunderkind Joe Nolan, and old time banjoist and singer/songwriter Amy Nelson.

On March 6th tune in for music by rising hip hop artist Mouraine, powerhouse singer songwriter Debra Power, and R&B pop artist Josh Sahunta.

*These performances were filmed in summer of 2020, adhering to all AHS regulations at the time.

These events and the full tour are supported by @youralberta, @ckuaradio, and @atbfinancial
