Jess Reimer
2015-09-19 19:30 - 22:00 | The William Glesby Centre, 11-2nd St NE, Portage la Prairie, Mb, R1N 1K8, Canada
There is no denying that an artist is a reflection of their environment, and the harsh beauty of rural Manitoba is at the heart of Jess Reimer’s work. She has been one of the Winnipeg roots music scene’s best-kept secrets for several years, but with her new album, The Nightjar and The Garden, Jess is set to have the wider world embrace her.
With a voice that combines the grittiness of Lucinda Williams with the pure power of Neko Case, it’s hardly a surprise that Jess attracted the attention of legendary Blue Rodeo founding keyboardist (and Manitoba native) Bob Wiseman, who produced The Nightjar and The Garden. Wiseman’s fondness of vintage sounds and a live approach in the studio emphasizes the raw beauty of Jess’ vocals, as well as the wide range of emotions in her songwriting

Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope
2015-09-13 09:10 - 12:10 | Rainbow Stage, Kildonan Park, 2021 Main Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
The Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope is the single most powerful awareness and fundraising initiative in Canada dedicated to overcoming ovarian cancer. This annual family-friendly event is held annually in September, the Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, on the Sunday after the Labour day weekend.
Why Walk?
The Walk not only raises vital funds for ovarian cancer awareness, support for women and their families and research, it enlivens communities across Canada to participate in a grassroots women’s health awareness campaign.
Ovarian Cancer
FACTS
Ovarian cancer is the most serious women’s cancer in the country and 2,800 Canadian women are diagnosed every year. Its signs and symptoms are often overlooked and without an early detection test, the disease tends to be diagnosed in its late stages. Because of this, the 5 year survival rate of ovarian cancer is 45%.
REALITIES
The best chance for early discovery is for women to be educated about the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer and to be aware of changes in their bodies. This disease requires women to be proactive and knowledgeable on the facts and risks of ovarian cancer. We are proud to see the progress made in awareness about the disease but we still have a long way to go.

YWG LOVES HIP HOP Featuring Nas, Travis Scott and Tink
2015-09-03 19:30 | MTS Centre, 300 Portage Ave, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 5S4, Canada
Hip-hop legend Nas will be at MTS Centre on Thursday, September 3, 2015 for YWG LOVES HIP HOP, which will be Winnipeg’s Largest Hip Hop Show of the year.
Special guests include Travis Scott and Tink. Local Winnipeg artists The Lytics & DJ DLO will open the show.

Nas’ musical career began in 1991 when he was featured on Main Source’s track “Live at the Barbeque”. His debut album Illmatic, released in 1994, received universal acclaim from both critics and the hip hop community; it is frequently ranked as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. He did Illmatic’s “N.Y. State of Mind” in one take.
Jacques Webster, better known by his stage name Travis Scott, is an American hip hop recording artist and record producer from Houston, Texas and will be joining Nas in WPG in Sept. The 22-year-old rapper/producer has been making noise on the viral tip but after receiving co-signs from T.I., Kanye West and appearing on G.O.O.D. Music’s Cruel Summer expect this name to ring bells into the new year. Though he’s only released but a few tracks (“16 Chapels,” “XX,” “Animal,” “Up”, “Old English” and “Blocka La Flame”), Travis Scott has managed to generate a viral buzz strong enough to see his star begin to gleam in 2012.
Accompanying Nas and Travis Scott is American rapper and singer-songwriter, Tink. Already known through her five successful mixtapes, Tink is expected to release her first studio album this year through Mosley Music Group label. Tink’s 2014 mixtape Winter’s Diary 2: Forever Yours, was featured as a top 10 R&B album in both Billboard and Rolling Stone magazine. Tink’s debut album Think Tink is due this year featuring production from super producer Timbaland and a collaboration with Missy Elliott. Her brand new single Million which samples the late Aaliyah’s One in a Million is currently rocketing up the charts.
Tickets range from $60.00 – $103.25 and go on-sale Friday, July 24 at 10:00am.
