Great music and poetry coming to the Tower!
Born in Cape Breton, raised on Prince Edward Island, and based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Jenina MacGillivray’s songs and stories are deeply located on the islands of Atlantic Canada. With a voice that “evokes another era”. MacGillivray’s songs are wistful, and longing — she sings of lost loves in Portugal, the Isle of Wight, and the American Southwest — but also intimately familiar. She brings the same dreamy colouring to her songs about her friendships in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Basin Head, PEI, and St. John’s. MacGillivray’s other life as a filmmaker becomes obvious through her songwriting she is often “on location”, focused on images of comings and goings with an old camera, and an approach both wry and nostalgic. This ability to weave the small places of Atlantic Canada into the broader world have made their mark on critics and audiences. Her debut album Marion won Music NL’s Factor Album of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, and received rave reviews throughout Eastern Canada where it was called “the real deal” (Roots Canada) and “possibly the most beautiful album of the year” (East Magazine).
PEI's official Poet Laureate Tanya Davis is a writer and interdisciplinary artist based in rural Epekwitk / Prince Edward Island. Since releasing her first album in 2006, she's been working primarily in music and literary performance and occasionally in theatre, audio art, and film. She has released 4 records and two books, including a hardcover published by HarperCollins of the widely popular videopoem How to be Alone, a collaboration with filmmaker Andrea Dorfman. In 2020, also with Dorfman, she released a follow up called How to be at Home, produced by the NFB as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Tanya was the 2011/12 Halifax Poet Laureate and the Artist-in-Residence at Dalhousie University's Faculty of Medicine in 2016. She creates and delivers content specific to organizations, conferences, and events, and has taken commissions for CBC Radio, The National Film Board, and The Canada Games, among others. Tanya also works as a freelance editor, arts administrator, and project manager.
