RPW and Vancouver City Limits Presents

RPW is joining with Vancouver City Limits to present a Violet Femmes Showcase featuring Claire Hayek from Montreal along with Vancouver artists Chistie Rose and Manuela.
Vancouver City Limits present weekly music events featuring bright new stars on the Vancouver scene. Their team film and edit performance video and upload it onto their youtube channel, http://www.youtube.com/vancouvercitylimits

Claire Hayek will travel from Montreal especially for this show. Her new CD Intentions has just been released and her song ‘If Only I’ is on Violet Femmes Vol 2, released in March 09.
Before her parents fled Beirut with their children, Claire Hayek escaped the unbearable realities of the civil war in Lebanon with music. As a young child, she sang and played the flute for her school choir. At that point she already knew that music would be her lifeblood. Info music and videos at:

Christie Rose has a soulful voice that wraps itself around the listener. Her songs are big, deep wells you fall into and soak up the sounds. Recent appearances at Lugz and Lime are winning her new fans.

“Manuela stands out from the crowd. Her quiet, unassuming offstage presence vanishes when she's in front of a mic, replaced by a confident, tuneful chanteuse. Her songs are perfectly rendered pop/jazz/folk. Manuela is right in there with the best of the best.” John Pippus, Trees Coffee House

This is a great night in the making, charismatic women performing in a variety of genres.

"A very exciting, eclectic collection of creatively engaging women"
