Leanne Goose and Friends @8pm
Leanne Goose lives to ROCK! Her dynamic voice is a blend of raspy sweet melody with tremendous power. Leanne effortlessly moves from one genre to the next. From soulful ballads packed with emotion, to rock, metal, rhythm and blues and country, Leanne has pipes!
Leanne is from Inuvik, the “Place of Man”. Leanne has spent the last few years as front woman of the band “Delta Flood”, stunning audiences with her powerhouse voice and energetic performances. Leanne's music reflects her life in Canada's North: long nights spent in darkness and days with no light. Leanne finds her musical inspiration and motivation in everyday living, her love of her home land, people and culture.
