Band bio back to '06 lineup
Jowi Taylor & the Six String Nation Guitar (ON)
Jowi Taylor is the founding host, writer and co-producer of CBC Radio’s long-running, multiple award-winning national weekly show, Global Village, which airs across Canada on both CBC radio networks as well as worldwide on Radio Canada International and the web. He is also the creator, producer and artistic director of a multi-media project for CBC Television, Radio, New Media and beyond called Six String Nation. The Six String Nation is a movement based on a guitar that connects people from all regions of Canada through music and by sharing our stories. Traditional, but not necessarily typical, Canadian icons, images and stories are built right into the Six String Nation guitar: each element is something meaningful and representative of a signifi cant aspect of Canadian history or culture, from Pierre Trudeau’s canoe paddle to Joe Lebobe’s champion oyster-shucking knife from PEI to the sacred Golden Spruce of Haida-Gwaii to parts of the whaling station at Herschel Island, to part of Jack London’s cabin and pieces of the Yukon Rose. The Six String Nation Guitar will be on display in the foyer of the Palace Grand Theatre throughout the weekend, and will also be featured at the Gazebo on Sunday afternoon 3:15pm.
