A musician since age 4, and a multi-instrumentalist with a passion for learning, Natalie has been involved in many genres of music – from folk, rock and reggae, to bluegrass, jazz, classical, and more. Ari Neufeld is a one man band and artist based out of the Okanagan. He has released multiple albums to date, and in 2008 was awarded the Male Performer of the Year award at the BC Interior Music Awards.

Mar. 19, 7-10pm ($15.00). Workshop on Sat. Mar 20 & Sun. Mar. 21st from 10am-5pm both days. Cost is $125.00 for Fri, Sat & Sun. Improvisational and Accapella Singing with David Hatfield. Singing Soul is spontaneous, in-the-moment singing; the unveiling of our very uniqueness in melody, harmony, and rhythm - our stories, in words, and beyond them. By turns edgy, hilarious, challenging and deeply moving, each moment is an original composition that is unrehearsed, precious, and irreplaceable. And as fate would have it, its also profoundly fun! No right way to do it. David has been doing The Singing Soul since 1997.
