ART has now produced provincially reccommended and award-winning educational resources in the form of educator’s handbooks (Cycle of Life/Recycle and Salish Sea) that contain music, art and science, and assist schools in teaching about the issues while meeting their prescribed learning outcomes. During her professional career, Holly has shared the stage with Stan Rogers, Herbie Hancock, Dan Hill, Paul Horn, Bruce Cockburn, Sarah McLachlan, Paul Hyde, Doug Bennett, David Sinclair, Fred Penner, The Arrogant Worms, Ian Tyson and many more. Since the 1980′s Holly has performed at major folk and children’s festivals across Canada, done concert tours in most provinces, taken part in many radio and television productions, and has recorded a vast catalogue of CDs. Kevin has spent the majority of his musical life singing in rock bands. Maybe it was the little red record player with a little microphone plug in that he used to throw concerts in his back yard at the age of 9… or maybe the KISS concerts that happened in the basement on a regular basis… tennis rackets for guitars, white 5 gallon buckets for drums… who knows… but something got it all sparked and lit the fire that still hasn’t burnt out, and probably never will. I was working as the afternoon show host at Village 900AM in Victoria. Still playing rock music, but getting very influenced by the World Beat/Folk music I was pumping out to a Global Roots audience in Victoria and surrounding area. I even bought a set of congas and added them to the sound of my band at the time, After Dark. It was 2004. I was on the air one afternoon, everyone else had gone home and a face appeared behind the glass that separated me from the rest of the world. He knocked, I went and let him in. He mentioned he had an idea for a great radio show… it was called Voices of Nature. I told him he would have to come back and talk to the station manager. And that’s what he would do. My life was about to change. His name was Stephen Foster.
