RAIN COAST CHOIR
Rain Coast Choir is a non-auditioned, 4-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 Prince, David Bowie, Amy Winehouse, Gord Downie, The Beach Boys, Neil Young, Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen and more!
Since our inception in 2017, we have grown to a group of over 50 passionate and dedicated singers, and have performed at The Legion on Commercial, St. James Hall, Full Circle Studio, Notional Space, and One Thousand Rivers. We will be welcoming new members in the New Year for our Spring 2020 Season.
JOLINE BAYLIS
Joline Baylis is a Vancouver based singer-songwriter poised to take her music far beyond the city that has shaped her. With a voice reminiscent of Eva Cassidy and Ani Difranco, she offers impeccably crafted indie folk-rock - fresh, haunting, and profoundly honest.
For her debut release, “Break Me Down,” Joline has gathered some of Vancouver's finest, including Dan Mangan + Blacksmith's Kenton Loewen and Tyson Naylor, Paul Pigat (Neko Case), and Wynston Minckler (Aerialists, Emily Millard). The result is an album that feels slightly nostalgic, with echoes of classic rock and laid-back country, while the band plays with a chemistry and inventiveness that yield something altogether new.
Joline has played in local venues such as The Media Club, The China Cloud, The Railway Club and The Backstage Lounge, as well as festivals around BC, including Arts Wells, Tiny Lights, Music on the Mountain and Harmony Arts Festival. Touring throughout BC and Alberta, she has gathered a loyal following wherever she performs.
Joline's music explores the complexities of love and connection, the upheaval of change and rebirth, and the strength of enduring optimism.
THE CRACKLING
Kenton Loewen has seasoned himself as a touring musician having been on the road exstensively since 2000. Known mostly as a drummer (Dan Mangan, Mother Mother, Gordon Grdina Trio), The Crackling is his work in songwriting and his focus in guitar.
The Cracklings’ debut album Keep Full Ambitious is not an explicit sharing of specific personal moments. It is an invitation into an intimate place, a dropping of barriers and an exploration of experience. The aim is to effect people with the intensity of the music, but not to dictate the meaning. Take from it what you will, give to it what you can, come listen.
Kenton Loewen is best known as a drummer. The Crackling is Kenton’s first project as composer and singer. He is a trained jazz drummer. Kenton has worked extensively with Gord Grdina, and has played with such jazz notables as Mats Gustafsson, Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten, Fredrik Lundqvist, Jeb Bishop, Kent Kessler, Simon Fisk, Jerry Granelli, Michael Moore, Mark Helias, Mark Destrube and Francois Houle. Kenton has also played in Po Girl, Submission Hold, Mother Mother, Dan Mangan and Josh Martinez and the Pissed Off Wild.
