A note from Cat:

"The music you will hear tonight is both inspired by the free form jazz of the late 60’s and a personal expression of how I feel the resurgence of civil rights is upon us. It is marked with influences of Alice Coltrane and the late music of her husband, John Coltrane. Her strength, freedom of expression, and ability to channel the universal consciousness through music is my inspiration.

I am producing an album of this music to be released January 20, 2017 (US Inauguration Day). All proceeds from album sales will go directly to the ACLU - American Civil Liberties Union - who pledge to continue to fight for civil rights.

DONATIONS FROM THIS CONCERT will directly fund the production costs of making the album so we can get right to putting the money where it is needed, the ACLU. Upon release date of the album, you will also be able to download liner notes detailing ideas about the impact of music on social climate (and vice versa) as well as concrete ways the ACLU can make a difference in the United States and globally. This project is not anti-anything. It is pro progress and positive change for human rights domestically and internationally.

NOTE: For my Canadian audience. The lives of our neighbours impact us all in various real ways. I ask, as a Canadian residing in America, to please consider supporting this music and the ACLU. Visit aclu.org to see their work on women's rights, LGBT rights, voting rights, privacy protection, equality, religious freedom, freedom on speech and more. Thank you for your consideration."

********************************************************************************************ACCESSIBILITY INFO *************************************************************************
Sawdust Collector takes place at The Gold Saucer Studio, a collective-run space located in The Dominion Building. Information for how to enter the show is posted on the front door of the building by 8:30 PM on every show night. You will need a cell phone to enter. If you do not have access to a phone, please contact us before the show and we will be happy to make alternative arrangements to get you in.

The front door is located at 207 W. Hastings. There is one stair between the sidewalk and the building level. The studio is located on the second floor, and is accessible by elevator. Seating is informal. There is one single-occupancy, gender-inclusive washroom on the second floor, accessible by key. We are a trans-inclusive space.

Sawdust Collector is run by us, three artists and our friends, who curate and produce the events on a volunteer basis. We own the glassware but not the room. A bit of scruff is part of the deal. If you have questions about what kind of scruff you're in for, please feel free to contact us: [email protected]

We acknowledge that our work takes place in Vancouver on traditional and unceded Indigenous land belonging to the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish),Stó:lō and səlil̓wətaʔɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We are grateful for this place.
