Buskers in Newport Village

Rob Teszka

Rob Teszka performs charming, witty magic in an offbeat style that weaves together sleight of hand with engaging storytelling. He produces and hosts the "Parlour Magic Show" in Vancouver, performs in PoCo's "Cozy Mystery Show", and tours his solo off-broadway magic shows across Canada. You'll also find him entertaining at corporate events and private parties throughout the Lower Mainland. A favorable review once called him "a genuine eccentric": it's probably because he knots his own bow ties!

Pink Lady - Tiana Gilbert, Abril Diaz Garcia

‍Pink Lady is made up of best friends Tiana and Abril, two recently graduated Music Diploma students from Douglas College. This duo goes beyond voice and guitar accompaniment- their bond and chemistry brings their performances to life. Abril’s background in r&b, soul, and jazz merged with Tiana’s penchant for folk, indie, and alternative guitar create a captivating, original sound. They pull inspiration from Mexican culture and classical disciplines picked up in their post-secondary education. Their intention is to create a cohesive vision with both their performances and songwriting- one that reflects their personal life experiences and appreciation for nurturing community.

Red Lanwell

‍I play a wide range of classic and modern songs, from Beatles to Eagles, and Coldplay to Counting Crows. I also like to sprinkle in some of my own original tunes here and there. I've often been told that I do a good job of playing just the right song for the right moment and place, and that is something I strive to do. I've built up a repertoire of over 500 songs so I can usually find the song to fit the setting. And if people have requests I always try to fulfill them.

Jewelles Smith

‍Art making with audience: explore the meaning of Home, Disability/Accessibility, in the context of a housing crisis and climate change. I am working exploring the idea of home using printmaking, collage and paint. The audience will be invited to write their own ideas about the meaning of home in this context and I will incorporate their words and ideas into a larger series that I am creating.

Jewelles Smith is a visual artist and writer. After sending her youngest son off to college, Smith experienced areno-viction, ultimately having to transplant from the Monashees to the lower mainland. During the pandemic, Smith moved to the Tri-cities, completed her PhD and turned fifty, emerging with the mantra, “say yes” to adventure, and has balanced her work as a JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion)consultant with travel and creative passions. Her art will take you through an experiential journey, exploring themes of social justice, human rights, disability, and child loss. Smith’s paintings layer vibrant oil colours, images, text printmaking, and found objects on canvas. Currently, she is exploring the meaning of “home” in the context of the housing crisis, climate emergencies, and all the diversity of human experience and need.

Dave W.

My name is Dave W. and started playing open mic and other events about 2 years ago. I currently play cover tunes spanning the last 40 years up to current. I don’t currently have any of my own songs written bit it is one of my future goals. I live in the Tri-Cities area and I am just beginning to branch out to other venues to enhance my skills and these busking type events provide a great venue for all levels of musicians to develop.
