C.R. Avery + Marin Patenaude

  • 150 Fulford-Ganges Road Ganges, BC, V8K 2T8 Canada (map)

Two musician-poets join forces for an unforgettable evening of song, story, rocking, poetry and moments of BOOM.

C.R. Avery is a unique, raw and dynamic performer. His genius lies in many genres - blues, hip-hop, spoken word and rock & roll. From musical beginnings in his late teens, he has recorded over fifteen albums as well as writing & directing six hip-hop operas, which were mounted and performed from New York's Bowery to L.A.'s South Central. He has toured throughout Canada, the US and Europe (headlining or opening for Billy Bragg, Buck 65, and Leonard Cohen) and garnered the attention of music peers the likes of Tom Waits, blues harp trail blazer Charlie Musselwhite and folk legend Utah Phillip.

Marin was taught to appreciate the things in life built with your own hands and heart, and she has created a body of work that is exquisitely her own. Releasing her first album The Follow Through in 2016, Marin continues to reveal an indomitable and independent spirit, yet a heart vulnerable to deep desire for the intimacy of love and romance. Her second release Sight Unseen can be found among the precious but few to sign to Dallas Green’s (City and Colour) label Still Records. Distributed by Dine Alone Records (Toronto), her most recent album Sex & Dying hit the shelves early 2023.

In the small town of Horsefly BC, she was raised on harmony and sawdust in a family band of Folk and Country. She’s an accomplished piano player and plays an old guitar like a long lost lover and can find the harmony in everything. Marin works within the music industry from many angles. She has been Artistic Director and Production Manager for the festival Arts on the Fly for 12 years, has booked tours in Europe and across Canada, and is a regular session harmony singer for recording bands in Vancouver.
