About this concert
SimplyWell and Holistic Rain are hosting another Autumn Equinox Celebration on Friday, September 21st in Market Square with all proceeds going to the Alzheimers Society. We’re excited to be giving back to the community while bringing people together to share in the beautiful Equinox energy. As we consciously link our awareness to nature's cycles, our understanding of our own cycles begin to deepen. The Autumn Equinox is a meaningful time of year to honour the harvest. Whether that be a "real" harvest of the things planted in your garden or the harvest of efforts and intentions for your life path set earlier in the year. Spiritually speaking, fall represents the Harvest time of year, a time to acknowledge abundance as our natural state of being. Our lives go through cycles of growth, harvest, death, and rebirth just as we see in nature. We are all connected: people, the planet, and the sun. If we align ourselves with the power in others and in the natural forces around us, what we are unable to do on our own can be made to happen through the powerful energy of collective consciousness. That’s what this evening is all about. Join us in the Square starting at 6pm for: - Yoga - Live Music by Colleen Brown (solo) - Drum Circle - Holistic Healing - Art Market - Much more to be announced soon TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW on HolisticRain.com All of the participants – performers, practitioners, and vendors – are donating proceeds to the cause. This is an incredible group who have joined forces to make a difference and support our local community! Mark you calendars, this is going to be magic.

Colleen Brown Music Biography
“The talents of this Edmonton-based musician shine like a beacon. Her boldly written originals… have the good bones and great melodic rhythm of classic big-screen pop songs from the sixties and seventies.” The Globe and Mail
On March 13, 2020, Colleen Brown was on tour playing guitar, bass and keys, backing up two of her longtime musical inspirations: Sarah Slean and Hawksley Workman. The tour was cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic (but not before driving from Toronto to Ottawa and then turning back around). Reflexively, Brown redirected her enthusiasm and restlessness towards writing and producing demos from home, through a weekly online songwriting challenge among fellow songwriters. The collection of original, pandemic-inspired songs and videos that came out of that process are what together make up her new album Isolation Songs.
These songs reflect on living life in isolation during these precarious and unprecedented times, not just as an artist, but as a human being. Ranging from the romantic but wry “It’s The End Of The World (Again)”, to the heartfelt and frank “Good Life”, the album even ends with a Christmas tune to lead us into this winter season.
With versatile songs and a voice akin to Joni Mitchell, Brown effortlessly weaves elements of folk, roots, Americana and pop into a sublime, striking blend. Her previous, full-length solo album ‘Direction’ - co-produced by Joel Plaskett - saw Brown topping Canadian college radio charts, achieving rotation on CBC in Canada and touring at home and in Germany and the UK. In 2018 she released a collaboration with fellow Alberta rockers Scenic Route To Alaska under the moniker Major Love, which garnered two singles in the CBC Radio Top 20 and 13 weeks in the earshot! Top 50. Her song ‘I Can’t Wrap My Heart Around It’ was placed in CBC’s Burden Of Truth, the song ‘Motherland’ won a province wide songwriting contest in 2015 in Alberta, and the powerful ballad ‘I Love All Of You’ was a finalist in the Unsigned Only International Songwriting Competition in 2017.
Colleen continues to be a beloved live performer, having won over audiences opening for Randy Newman, Jim Cuddy, Rufus Wainwright, Crash Test Dummies, Whitehorse, Frank Black, Kathleen Edwards and Sarah Harmer. She has performed at festivals across Canada including Grande Prairie’s inaugural Bear Creek Folk Festival, Winnipeg’s Interstellar Rodeo, Kingston’s Skeleton Park Arts Festival, Salmon Arm Roots & Blues, and Edmonton Folk Music Festival.
