Join Lady O’ and The Omen on December 10th to celebrate the coming winter solstice with heartwarming music in good company. The aspiration of the group is to share music that reminds us that we are all in this together. To lift the spirit and alleviate suffering, even just a little. They’ll be serving up jazz, funk, world, reggae flavors and some original compositions, standards, and cool interpretations of old folk melodies.

Orith - O’wreath - Lady O completed a music degree from Capilano University in 2007. She is a multi-instrumentalist, singer songwriter/composer and music educator. While in Vancouver she performed weekly for 15 years with her trio The Grand Trine. She also got to play at the Vancouver Jazz festival on the Galaxy Rising Star Stage, and for the athletes at the Winter Olympics. After relocating to Duncan, she founded ‘Jump into Music’, a group music and movement program for young families.

For the show, Orith will be both singing and playing the bass fiddle known as the upright bass. Orith enjoys that the role of a bass player is both rhythmic and melodic, as the bass is the bridge between the drums and piano/guitar. Orith says, “I love singing and playing bass at the same time, I get to hold down both the low and high end.”

Accompanying Lady O’ are Nico Rhodes on piano and James McRae on drums. Nanaimo based Nico Rhodes is an award winning, genre jumping, musician, composer, arranger and producer. Growing up touring around the globe he is equally comfortable playing jazz, classical, funk or roots music, orchestrating a symphony, writing musicals, and conducting choirs.

Nanaimo based James McRae is a mentor, composer, arranger, and producer. He has long been an important part of the Vancouver Island music scene. His passion for music defies easy categorization.

Tickets are $25 and can be purchased in advance at www.showroomproductions. ca or at the door. Saturday December 10th, Door open at 7pm, show starts at 7:30pm at Duncan Showroom 131 Station Street. Join us on live stream at www.youtube.com/c/ duncanshowroom/live.
