U Talk S2E6: GerryFest 2021

GerryFest is a festival dedicated to the life and work of Gerry Atwell. Starting Friday, August 13 to Sunday, August 15, mentees from the Raising New Voices mentorship program will perform along with other musicians and exhibit their visual works in the gallery at the St. Norbert Arts Centre. The Festival will also be recorded and produced.  Judy Williams, sister of Gerry, sat down with me to talk about the Festival, Gerry’s legacy, and an endowment fund fostering young artists.  A shoutout to two other members of the GerryFest team, Co-chair Louise May and Artistic Director Brendan Kinley, as your support makes this event possible. https://www.snac.mb.ca/happenings/gerryfest Intro and outro music: Mind Games - Mathew Mcguire.
