2012 JUNO Nominee, Emerging Artist of the Year nominee at the Canadian Folk Music Awards and Winner of the CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award, recording artist Peter Katz captivates listeners with his unique brand of contemporary folk music. Playing 150+ dates a year all over the world, Katz’s remarkable grassroots efforts have resulted in him selling over 15,000 copies of his discs and sharing the stage with such notable artists as The Swell Season, Dan Mangan, The Good Lovelies, Joel Plaskett, Bahamas, Lucky Fonz III, Donovon Frankenreiter (to name a few) and the legendary Garth Hudson from The Band.
Peter is excited to be bringing "We are the Reckoning" tour to Vancouver in support of the KidSafe Project Society. The KidSafe Project Society is a Vancouver-based charity whose mission is to provide nurturing safe havens for vulnerable inner- city children when schools are traditionally closed. KidSafe was founded in 1993 by a group of caring, concerned citizens when a local tragedy shed light on the serious risks vulnerable children face during winter, spring, and summer breaks. Today, 22 years later, KidSafe provides essential programs and services to over 450 vulnerable children and youth each year from six inner-city Vancouver elementary schools: Queen Alexandra, Admiral Seymour, Macdonald, Mount Pleasant, Nightingale, and Grandview/uuqinak’uuh.
Join Peter and friends for an intimate evening of music raising funds for Vancouver's most vulnerable children and families. For more information about KidSafe visit www.kidsafe.ca
