Ann and Rick first worked together in 1982 when she cast him as Sufferton in her family musical Reflections on Crooked Walking at the Arts Club, thus launching his theatrical career. Rick went on to star in Barnum, The Late Blumer and Angry Housewives and to international renown as a roots and children’s performer. www.rickscott.ca
Festival Nanaimo marks the first time Ann and Rick have shared a bill in decades: in addition to their separate sets, be prepared for some high-powered duets!

Ed Henderson, Finn Manniche and Ann Mortifee in concert

Legendary singer Ann Mortifee takes us on a magical adventure weaving stories and songs from seven decades of her life which began in South Africa and has led her around the globe. An internationally renowned performer of spellbinding power, Ann enthralls and inspires with her rich, four octave voice, dramatic presence and soul-stirring music. Fearlessly creative and evocative, her career as performer, composer, author and community activist has spanned seven decades and continents. In this rare concert appearance, she will be accompanied by a trio of brilliant musicians: Ed Henderson (guitar), Finn Manniche (cello) and Miles Black (keyboards).

Last year he joined forces with young Nanaimo keyboardist Nico Rhodes to form Roots & Grooves, an inter-generational musical smorgasbord of folk, jazz and blues.
