She’s the most exciting queen ever to grace the Canadian drag scene – and she’s the winner of Canada’s Drag Race. What’s her name?
PRIYANKA!
Born in Whitby, Ontario, the journey started for Priyanka (the drag superstar alter-ego of Mark Suknanan) with a career in television. She studied at Niagara College and interned for Rogers Television and MTV Canada, until she finally fought her way up to become the first web host of YTV’s “The Next Star”. Nicknamed “Suki”, she toured Canada as the face of “Next Star Nation” which quickly became the heart beat of the show. Her successes immediately parlayed into an even bigger platform when she was hand-picked by YTV as the face of their flagship after school program “The Zone”. For 6 six years, Priyanka was the face of Canadian children’s television, not only starring in, but writing and producing her own segments for her young fans airing between such favourite shows as: Spongebob Squarepants and Fairly Odd Parents.
In the spring of 2018, after being taken under the wing of top Toronto drag performer: Xtacy Love, Priyanka was born! She took the city by storm, sweeping the drag scene and snatching the crown in both the Miss Crews & Tangos pageant, and Woody’s: Queen of Halloween. She’s performed in every major city across Canada, Chicago & Dominican Republic and most recently graced the cover of Now Toronto after being named they cities “Number One Drag Entertainer”
With live shows filling almost every day of the week, two self-produced singles with accompanying music videos on iTunes aptly named: “You Look so Good” and “Say My Name”, and a weekly Series on YouTube, she is one of the hardest working entertainers in the business.
It’s with that tenacity and determination that won her the first ever season of Canada’s Drag Race on Crave where she became Canada’s First Ever Drag Superstar.
Charisma? check.
Uniqueness? check.
Nerve? check.
Talent? check.
Now what’s her name!?
Priyanka!

WINTERRUPTION - Andino Suns / Dr. Henry / El Leon & The Strangers

Winterruption 2022 – Andino Suns / Dr. Henry / El Leon & The Strangers – Friday, January 28, 2022 at X-Cues Cafe & Lounge

Andino Suns
Andino Suns grew out of the desire for Andrés Davalos to recreate the music he’d grown up listening to at home. His parents were exiled to Canada when a fascist dictatorship took over their homeland, Chile, in the early 70s. Though they found peace in Canada, Andrés’ parents missed terribly the way of life from which they had been violently uprooted. They continued to surround themselves with their Chilean culture, passing it down to their children through stories, traditional Andean music and folk dances, and media. It’s no surprise then that a worldview of political activism, hope, and love, underpins the music of Andino Suns.
The folkloric music of his childhood marked Andrés indelibly, and by 2009 he had written a handful of Spanish songs with traditional Andean influences. He recruited his friend, Andrés Palma, also a son of Chilean exiles who were similarly uprooted to Canada. The two of them, recognizing the potential for greatness that lay in those songs, invited other equally inclined musicians to join them. The music they made, a fusion of traditional Andean instrumentation and modern Latin grooves, culminated in their debut self-titled album, which they recorded and released in 2013.
Bolstered by the success of their first album, Andino Suns set about entertaining larger audiences. The songs, upbeat and fit for the dance floor, ignited festival crowds including JUNOfest in 2013. At this early stage in the band’s development, concert goers recognized hits from that album. Cantando el Pajaro, a song about love at first sight, continues to be a crowd favourite.
Their live performances were, and continue to be, effervescent, brimming with fiery instrumentation and dynamic vocals. Though their earlier songs were predominantly in Spanish, their talent and authentic musical energy captivated audiences young and old; music is indeed a universal language.
“A wild and wooly molding of Ennio Morricone and Manu Chao” – Roddy Campbell, Penguin Eggs
A year later, Andino Suns returned to the studio to record their sophomore album, It’s Time to Rise. Though not a departure from the overall Latin tone of their first album, It’s Time to Rise was experimental and diverse, adding songs in English, and blending together a whole host of genres — rock, reggae, and a smattering of Eastern European beats. The result was a genre-defying sound that wowed festival audiences in Saskatchewan and all through Canada, including Heatwave Music Festival in Prince George, BC; Festival du Voyageur in Winnipeg MB; Western Canadian Music Industry Awards in Victoria, BC; Festival Musique du Bout du Monde in Gaspé, QC. In addition to playing festivals, Andino Suns have showcased at Breakout West, Folk Alliance International Conference in Kansas City, and Mundial Montreal.
It’s Time to Rise earned Andino Suns their first Western Canadian Music Awards nomination for World Recording of the Year in 2015. In 2017, following the release of their third album Madera (2016), the Suns were crowned World Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards.
Madera, Andino Suns’ most ambitious album, marked a return to their traditional Andean sound but was equally rooted in the vastness of the Canadian prairies. This duality, the cultural hyphenation of the band, is further celebrated on this album with multiple collaborations with local talent. Singer-songwriter Megan Nash joins Andrés Davalos in singing Madre, – Spanish for Mother – the second song on Madera. Megan’s and Andrés’ voices complement each other beautifully in a song that’s airy and memorable. Other home-grown appearances on Madera include The Dead South, Keiffer McLean, Scott Richmond and members of the Regina Symphony Orchestra. Daniel Emden, a Montréal-based percussionist of international repute co-produced the album.
“Unable to understand or speak Spanish, I can still feel the passion of Madera, this album of eight songs from Regina group Andino Suns.” Bill Robertson – Saskatoon Star Phoenix.
The Fall of 2017 saw Andino Suns release a new single, Tiburón. Performed in French and Spanish, Tiburón’s gypsy jazz tone and the Quebecois French accent are an homage to the city of Montréal from which band member Cristian Moya had just returned after a two-year stint spent honing both his musical and French language chops.
Andino Suns have succeeded in creating a musical energy that is a gathering place for all – the labourer, the intellectual, the spiritual, the aged, and the young. Theirs is the kind of music that, even if silenced, you’d continue to hear it.

Dr. Henry band’s three core musicians met in Winnipeg after moving from Nigeria for higher education pursuits.

The group’s latest hip-hop-influenced release, Superglue, will take you back to the era of music videos on the TV.

A true DIY effort, the self-produced song and video reflect a band owning the whole creative process and doing it their damn selves.
The Noble Thiefs have toured extensively over the years, playing everywhere from New Orleans and NYC to London, England.

Local festivals and club gigs have made them hometown heroes in their beloved Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Prairie Joggers
As founding members of local blues-rock group Odder than the Otters, Goertzen (vocals, guitar) and Hill (drums) have played on stages across Manitoba, including Festival Du Voyageur and Rockin’ the Fields of Minnedosa. Their debut single, “Hola Luna”, was listed on the top 50 songs chosen by judges/panelists for 2018’s CBC Searchlight Competition.
Goertzen and Hill return to their roots with The Prairie Joggers, the next step in a song writing partnership that has developed through garage bands, coastal beach towns, countless bars and riverside rendezvous. Released November 2019, the duo’s first single, “Moments Happen”, is a raw and energetic first step back into the music scene, a preface for the release of their debut EP.
Recorded by Micah Erenberg at Mustard House Studios, The Prairie Joggers debut EP combines down and out barroom blues with beachy daydreams. Blending easy listening melodies with warm drum tones, raw acoustics and tremolo leads (performed by Erenberg himself), the release acts as an overview for the duos range in mood and style. The self titled EP is now available on all streaming services.
Since their spring release in 2020, the duo has kept busy experimenting with grittier tones, writing new songs and refining their inhouse recording and production. They eagerly await the day they can start booking shows, tours & anything else that gets them out of the house & back on the road.

The Honeysliders take on the music of the Rolling Stones and The Beatles!

An all-star cast of Winnipeg’s music scene mvps, the Honeysliders are the ultimate house band. Whether it’s dirt-road country growls, angst-ridden back-porch blues, whiskey-soaked party-rock or just honest prairie vocals, The Honeysliders will deliver.
Founding members, Jamie Buckboro(lead vocals/guitar/percussion) and Micah Bell(bass guitar/vocals) together with master keyboardist, Alex Campballse(keyboard/Whurlitzer/harmonica/vocals), multi-talented Winnipeg drummer, Jesse Millar(percussion/guitar/vocals) and local guitar icon, Chris ‘Chopper’ Carmichael (guitar/vocals/percussion), The Honeysliders have branded an undeniably kinetic sound.
Thriving on the challenge of tributes to their music heroes – CSNY, The Band, Neil Young, the Beatles, The Rolling Stones – and Canadian contemporaries – Sloan, Terra Lightfoot, The Sheepdogs – their performances teleport to a time when live bootlegs and curated albums ruled turntables and airwaves.
Born from these eclectic influences, their original songs elevate them above mere cover-band status and threaten to rattle the rafters with shout-along anthemic camaraderie. The Honeysliders are currently compiling material for their first full-length album release…
So put an arm around your partner-in-crime and raise a cup to hometown pride because any member of this band can step forward and break your heart or blow your mind.

Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra - International Women's Day Celebration
2022-03-10 19:30 - 22:00 | West End Cultural Centre, 586 Ellice Ave, Winnipeg, MB, R3B1Z8, Canada
Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra – International Women’s Day Celebration – Thursday, March 10 at 7:30pm

Honouring International Women’s Day, the WJO roster will be all-women and present music by several great women arrangers and composers
Ruth Bader Ginsburg once said, “People ask me sometimes, ‘When will there be enough women on the (Supreme) court?’ My answer is: ‘When there are nine.’ People are shocked. But there’d been nine men, and nobody’s ever raised a question about that.”
It would be ideal if gender did not play a role at all, but historically women have held a very low profile in the jazz history books. There have been important female contributors in every area of jazz history: composers, instrumentalists, singers, dancers, members of clubs, music teachers- but we were usually the exception, and we simply have not been documented to the extent of men. So, on International Women’s Day week, here is an all-woman jazz orchestra.

The West End Cultural Centre will continue to require that patrons wear facemasks and show proof of vaccination for all events in the venue.
We will continue to evaluate this policy as circumstances evolve.
