With an innovative approach to music, Jean-Paul De Roover is much more than a solo artist. Accompanied by live looping, guitars and a voice used as an instrument, this ‘sonic architect’ builds his songs from foundation to facade before your very eyes. Beginning with dead silence, his performance could lead anywhere: full a capella harmonies, rhythmic tribal beats, noise-layered worlds of ambient rock, campfire-folk, electro-ballads and anything in between. With lyrical content that can be brutally honest, or lovingly truthful, one thing is certain: the originality and creativity of his timeless performances shines through to every listener.

Did you know @thecityofkenora gets its name from combining those of three communities: Keewatin, Norman, and Rat Portage? We recommend a day trip to Coney Island followed by pub grub and brews at @lowbrewco’s taproom (don’t forget to get a selfie with Husky the Muskie!).
