Big Little Lions are back in Qualicum Beach on Nov. 15, with a new show.
The multi-award-winning folk/pop duo are Comox Valley’s own Helen Austin and Paul Otten from Cincinnati, Ohio, according to a news release. They will play a concert at Rotary House starting at 7 p.m.
Their new show features their original songs in the first half, while playing Beatles' favourites and deep cuts in the second half. Joining in is welcomed.
Their first collaboration garnered a Juno and ever since they have been cranking out infectious folk pop songs that are jam-packed with emotion and tight harmonies that sound like the product of two people working side-by-side instead of living in different countries.
They have released six albums to date, which have garnered them awards and nominations including the Canadian Folk Music Awards 'Ensemble of the Year', Independent Music Awards 'Americana Song of the Year' and the John Lennon Songwriting Competition 'Song of the Year'. Their critically acclaimed music has appeared on the CBC’s Top 20 and featured on shows like Q and Vinyl Cafe.
Their live show is quite the spectacle, with Otten playing drums, bass and keyboard all while singing lead vocals.
Austin, who is no slacker either, sings, plays guitar and foot percussion. They use every limb, and then some, to make two people sound like a full band.
Doors at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 and are available by emailing micksherlock58@gmail.com or call 403-608-7280.
