Sat, Mar 14th, 8-10pm, Concert – Matthew Lien – Vancouver Island Solo Tour - Folk
Matthew Lien, is a Yukon-based multiplatinum international recording artist whose music celebrates the beauty of nature, life and love. As a pianist, singer, composer, and producer, Lien’s original instrumental and vocal compositions incorporate Celtic, European folk, light jazz, classical, traditional, and natural elements.  Whether he is performing with a full band or solo, Lien possesses a rare ability to create a transformative musical experience that has endeared him to audiences here in North America and internationally.
Lien’s current solo performance tour features songs from his recently released 17th album, Headwaters – Music of the Peel River Watershed.  This album is Lien’s musical interpretation of the 550-km canoe expedition of this pristine Yukon wilderness.
The album will be presented in concert with projection by National Geographic expedition member and photographer Peter Mather.  Headwaters invites the listener to discover and experience this seemingly unreachable vast watershed known to the Gwich’in aboriginal people as "Choo Tilt.”  Although new to audiences here in Canada, Matthew has achieved superstar status in Southeast Asia and China with several of his CDs receiving numerous awards and nominations there.
