Thorin is a singer-songwriter from the Yukon Territory, Canada. Over the last eight years Thor has bicycled and canoed over 15000 km across North America with a guitar on his back. These have been foundational experiences for his songwriting and musical style which manifested over months of simple, nomadic journeys enriched by the countryside, towns, and many diverse, warmhearted people whom he encountered, connected with, and befriended along the way. His music style and songs can be described as soulful contemporary indie-folk/rock, influenced and inspired by his thirst for exploring/learning about the world and the potential of the human spirit.

We welcome Pat back to SFG, it has been a while. Pat has carved a unique niche in the Canadian and Celtic folk music scene. While his mostly original music falls solidly under the broad umbrella of ‘Celtic’, Pat’s range is prodigious and eclectic. It’s been variously described as straight-ahead, “his lyrics are at turns profound – or witty and high-spirited – but always dynamic and relatable as “folk”. But to cut to the chase, it is all Pat’s music, played and performed in his distinctive and unique voice. Pat’s talent has earned him coveted opening slots with acts like Jim Byrnes, The Paperboys, and Sharon Shannon. It will be a great show, you won’t be disappointed.

Capulet Art Gallery
150-2288 No. 5 Road
Opening Reception: 2pm-5pm
Capulet Art Gallery is proud to present a two-part exhibition by well-known Canadian artist Pnina Granirer, showcasing two distinct yet interconnected bodies of work—Imagination Games and Wings of Memory. Bursting with colour, wit, and layered experimentation, Imagination Games features Granirer’s dynamic digital photo collages and architectural photographs inspired by the vibrant streets of Guanajuato, Mexico. In contrast, Wings of Memory presents a collection of Granirer’s symbolic and abstract prints that draw on themes of flight, spirit, and transformation. Soaring birds, mysterious handprints, and atmospheric landscapes explore the liminal spaces between inner and outer worlds, nature and myth, past and present.
