Dana Sipos duo with guitarist Chris Lloyd
Wednesday June 8, 2022 Known for crafting music that is both fragile with a haunting surrealism, Dana Sipos is an acclaimed Canadian songwriter described as "one of the most incredible songwriting talents out there" (Folk Radio UK). Inhabiting the far north before going nomad, Sipos now resides among the wilds of Vancouver Island, BC. The Astral Plane, her new album released on Roaring Girl Records, explores the imprints of memory, cycles of grief and the deep connection between inherited trauma and the ecological crisis of our time and garnered Sipos a Solo Artist of the Year nomination at the 2022 Canadian Folk Music Award. With deep connections to the north, Dana has performed at the Atlin Arts and Music Festival, the Dawson City Folk Festival and the Available Light Film

“Contentment” When I’m outside Sitting on a bench by myself Basking in the sun… A gift of contentment is bestowed. When the rain ceases And I go walking by myself Breathing sweet fresh air… A gift of contentment is bestowed. When I’m with a friend Sharing an exchange of ideas In goodwill and trust… A gift of contentment is bestowed. How are you gathering your gifts of contentment? Jeff Salmon
The Epic Chronicles of the Cast of Characters and Host of Plotlines of the Year 2022, The Great Reveal Excerpts from Volume I, Chapter 5, Vision Lost; Vision Found The Pundit
1The choice is ours 2Continue to live in fear
It’s not about left or right
3To submit to our daily desires
It’s not about black or white
4To avoid really seeing and knowing
It’s not about us or them
5What the fruits of our labours are yielding
It’s not even about right or wrong
6Or, exercising our responsibilities and choosing
Forget about such arbitrary polarities
The Process
It’s rather a nuanced three dimensional game Look up, look way up
The process of genocide:
And look deep, deep within
First they kill the body Then they kill the memory
The Plebian Years later, Hitler asks: Too busy looking left and right Too frightened about them and us
Who remembers the Armenian genocide? See, it will work again, trust the process
Too tied up in this and that We fail to look up
The Penetrator
And see: He boasts that he has “penetrated” The less than one percent who pull the strings
Many governments world-wide Including half our cabinet.
The Pyramid 1When you step back and look at what we’re doing
World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab
2We’re unknowingly building a monolithic pyramid
Is he bravado?
3And they expect us to raise the capstone
Or is he
4Such that we will bow in its presence
Beast?
5And submit to the all-seeing eye 6Now and forever
The Titanic
1Step way back
The front half went down years ago
2Get a good long look
The deck chairs astern are all nicely rearranged
3In our haste we may have missed it
And we stand idly beside the signal flares
4But we are at the penultimate level
Wondering when to act
5Of building a gargantuan global structure 6Ironically, we have nothing but choice and free will
