Toronto Public Library’s popular Make Some Noise concert series honours Aboriginal Month
TORONTO (Tuesday, May 27, 2014) – Toronto Public Library is pleased to announce a concert in the stacks of Spadina Road Branch (10 Spadina Road) featuring Toronto artist, IsKwé.
Called ‘One to Watch’ by The Grid TO and one of the ‘Top 10 Canadian Musicians You Need to Know’ by CBC Music, Iskwé’s cross-cultural aesthetic is as striking as her tripped-out blend of soul. The name Iskwé (pronounced iss-kway) means ‘woman’ in her native Cree language. Iskwé’s debut album weaves together her Irish and Cree/Dene roots with hip hop breakbeats, left-field R&B, and traces of piano pop.
What: IsKwé Live in the Stacks – Free. All ages.
Where: Spadina Road Branch, 10 Spadina Road, 416-393-7666
When: Friday, June 6, 2014, 8 p.m.
The Make Some Noise program brings the library's local music collection to life in the stacks of library branches around the city. The initiative gives people of all ages an opportunity to see Toronto’s hottest indie bands live for free at their local library branches.
IsKwé Live in the Stacks is one of many events at Toronto Public Library to honour Aboriginal Month. For a complete lists of programs, visit tpl.ca/aboriginal.
