The Bills are one of Canada’s most musically impressive and well-rounded folk music ensembles. The band features five virtuosic and highly creative musicians coming together to create an instrumental and vocal tour de force, with compelling arrangements of dance tunes from around the world alongside self-penned songs sung in full-throated harmony. As BC’ers, this is a group that speaks to our experience, with its diverse cultural influences, sense of freedom and creativity, and stories that tell of life on the west coast. We are excited to finish our festival with one of the finest folk music exports this province has ever produced.

Through guided exercises and live demonstrations, participants will engage with rhythm not only as a structural foundation, but as a physical, embodied experience connected to the human body and mind. Participants are encouraged to bring an instrument, but it is not required.
