<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">What It Is!</span></b><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> are four unique voices whose creativity and passion blend into a powerhouse of captivating a cappella soul. Their
distinct arrangements are steeped in the soulful sounds of such greats as Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Etta James, and Laura Mvula. With rich textures and a heartfelt delivery, their engaging performances will captivate and move you. Coming from diverse musical
styles and backgrounds Mimi Beyene, Cass King, Patti Powell, and Carol Wiedemann bring East Van Soul to a whole new level.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Duo Betty Berda and Ian Miller</span></b><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> have been a duo in both life and music for the past 5 years. Betty hails from Montreal, while
Ian grew up in Vancouver. They have played both as solo acts, and in various bands, and now bring their own style of folk/blues/and country music, with a combination of keyboard, guitar, ukulele, and melodica. They play original music and obscure covers. They
love to have a good time and hope that you will, too, as you enjoy their upbeat, lively tunes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Hawking</span></b><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> is a Progressive Indie Rock foursome from Vancouver, Canada. The group strives to keep their songs as enigmatic as they
are catchy, combining powerful, evocative vocals with melodic hooks, angular guitar riffs and a liberatingly adventurous rhythm section. Known for being one of Vancouver's hardest-touring independent bands, Hawking's most recent 50-date run took them across
North America to spread the word about their new self-titled EP, which was met with an onslaught of acclamatory reviews from Indie tastemaker publications. An outfit of Canadian music mavericks who continue to take the scene by storm, Hawking is driven to
make passionate, real, and memorable music for many years to come.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
