Thelma and Louise have been offering rocking interpretations of your fave hits from the 70s to the Riot Grrrl Era and beyond since 2017. Known for their fun, energetic sets, a Thelma and Louise gig will have you dancing, singing along, and screaming at the top of your lungs with a smile on your face.

Band members Geordie Dynes, Kelly McMichael, Mara Pellerin, and Krista Power are seasoned musicians with Polaris Prize-nominated projects and international touring experience under their belts—and they are ready to show you a good time.

Lawnya Vawnya’s Get Out of Town concert series began in 2019 and presents LV shows across the province throughout the year. They focus on showcasing emerging and established performers outside of the capital city, in more rural regions of Newfoundland and Labrador. Past performances have taken place in Port Rexton, Port Union, Clarke’s Beach, Corner Brook, Steady Brook, St. Anthony, Happy Valley-Goose Bay, and Lab City.

Thank you to Canada Council for the Arts for supporting us in this series!!
