Plenty Canada is proud to be hosting Tim Johnson and The Ollivanders for a special event in Lanark, Ontario on August 25th, 2016. Tim will be giving a presentation that highlights Native contributions to Canada during its early history, followed by a lively short film and talk about contemporary Indigenous influences upon popular music.
The presentation, which begins at 6:30 p.m., will be followed by a “Rock Concert In The Woods” by The Ollivanders at 7:30 p.m.!!
Tim Johnson, Mohawk from Six Nations of the Grand River, is the former associate director for Museum Programs at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian. He currently serves as co-chair of Landscape of Nations, the forthcoming national memorial dedicated to Six Nations and Native Allies in the War of 1812; to be unveiled on October 2 in Queenston Heights Park.
The Ollivanders are a Native American Music Award-winning rock band from Ohsweken and Caledonia, Ontario. Their music has been licensed by Disney for ABC | ESPN's Saturday Night Football, heard on the breakout APTN series Mohawk Girls, and reached number one on the National Aboriginal Music Countdown. The band has performed at numerous venues including the ROM in Toronto and the Smithsonian in Washington and New York.
Kenny Lee Lewis, virtuoso guitarist of the Steve Miller Band for 34 years, praised The Ollivanders’ award-winning debut album Two Suns, stating, “…the dry in your face vocals and honest delivery harkens back to the garage bands of the summer of love…and protest…and a new paradigm shift in social consciousness.”
The event will be hosted at 266 Plenty Lane, in Lanark (at the Plenty Canada head office). There is no cost for admission to the event, but, as always, donations in support of Plenty Canada are welcome. Bring lawn chairs and umbrella’s if necessary. But mostly, bring your sincerity and Peace and Love!
