RAIN COAST CHOIR
Rain Coast Choir is a non-auditioned, 5-part Rock/Pop choir based in East Vancouver, BC and led by Joline Baylis. We create fine-tuned vocal arrangements of classic songs and current favourites. Over the years, we’ve sung songs by David Bowie, The Tragically Hip, Fiona Apple, Neil Young, Bahamas, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen and more!
It’s been a dream five years in the making to do a season featuring the music of the 60’s. Not only are these songs full of rich and unique harmonies, but the spirit of social activism, peace and love are more relevant today than ever! We can’t wait to share a magical night of music at our Summer of Love Showcase.
LEO D.E JOHNSON
Leo D.E Johnson (He/Him) is a trans, Black, Scotian artist whose music is a transcendent blend of Spiritual Soul and Galactic Gospel, infused with gritty West Coast Grunge. Futuristic by design, listeners are lifted to higher realms igniting the spirit with its infectious energy.
Leo draws inspiration from his diverse experiences and cultural influences, infusing his music with a unique blend of soulful storytelling and powerful messages of resilience, joy and hope. Currently residing in the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, Leo is dedicated to honouring and amplifying Indigenous, Black, and Queer voices, advocating for social justice and equality. Their music channels themes of self-discovery and identity, with a magnetic presence on stage Leo's unapologetic authenticity serves as a guiding light for meaningful change, uniting listeners through a transformative musical journey that radiates LOVE. Sit back and enjoy the reflection and let’s celebrate the power of music!
