Jordan Klassen | Andy Shauf | Claire Morrison

April 16, 8:00 pm to 10:30 pm

$10/$5 students

Jordan Klassen makes music built out of pure imagination. Kindness, a 4 song EP, introduces rich and full-bodied singing alongside his now ubiquitous falsetto. 

Gracefully dramatic enough to be featured in Catch .44, an upcoming film starring 

Bruce Willis & Forrest Whitaker, and joining other Klassen creations which have found 

their ways onto television series, including USA Network’s Royal Pains, and the upcoming 

iTunes version of late 90s TV show Felicity.

Beautiful Lies II: Rayannah Kroeker | Margaret Howison | Tim Elias

April 22, 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm

$10/$5 Students

An evening of original songs from singer-storytellers Rayannah Kroeker, Margaret Howison and Tim Elias. 

The intimate setting of the Aqua Books theatre is a perfect place to hear these musical stories. Each song is individual, personal, and equal part truth and lie.
