Performances
Hall Stage:
Swinging Belles | 11:45am & 1:45pm
2024 JUNO award winners, The Swinging Belles, are a swing band for kids from St. John’s, NL. They are intent on getting both kids and adults to kick up their heels and have a swinging good time! The multi-award winning band features child educators and performers Laura Winter and Erin Power joined by guitarist extraordinaire Duane Andrews. At the core of the Belles’ philosophy is the belief that children are brilliant beings that respond to and are inspired by music that celebrates their intelligence, their innate musicality, and their expansive imagination. They prioritize creating musical experiences that both kids and their families can enjoy together. They’ve been spreading their music all across Canada and beyond, with gigs stretching from the Labrador Creative Arts Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival, The Calgary International Children’s Festival to La Semaine Acadienne in France.
