Elizabeth Shepherd and Michael Occhipinti: Artists as Activists: An evening of music with a social conscience.With a combined total of 14 JUNO nomin
ations between them, Elizabeth Shepherd and Michael Occhipinti have been combining their unique voices, as they tour together ove
r the past 4 years. Whether drawing on jazz, soul, folk, pop or world music, their sound is soulful and fresh.
For this show, in light of recent events, they’ll be framing the evening with the theme of “Artists as Activists: Socially Conscious Musicians”. From the music of Bruce Cockburn to Stevie Wonder, and of course some of their own original material along the way, they cover songs of protest of all styles, infusing each one with their own signature sound. Never has there been a better time to get inspired by the power of music to effect change.
Both exciting singer/songwriter pianist, and souljazz innovator Elizabeth Shepherd, and Michael Occhipinti, multitalented guitarist/ composer/ arranger have been toasted world-wide for their talent and versatility. www.elizabethshepherd.com www.michaelocchipintimusic.com
