Mission Zimbabwe Outreach is holding its annual concert on Saturday, September 13th at Victoria Jubilee Hall! It will feature local performers who want to support the children of Zimbabwe. These local performers are donating their talents to provide an evening of entertaining music. This year’s program features lots of variety and starts with the Marlins a family from Meaford. The Marlins are a family of singers and musicians including Steve (dad), Lucy (mom), and their 5 children. They are all very musical, play multiple instruments and harmonize naturally. The concert also features He Said/She Said, a fun, energetic, dynamic musical duo playing all your favourite top 40 hits, classic rock tunes and their catchy originals! In addition Levi Wathke from Desboro will have the audience involved with well-known classic and new country tunes. Levi’s down home country tunes and connection with the audience is very special. The good news is that more entertainers including gospel artists will be added in the near future.

Whether you enjoy country, gospel, contemporary or toe tapping tunes, there is something for every taste at this musical variety show. Come out and support these local entertainers as they support the children at the Village of Hope. All proceeds will go to provide financial support for Vimbainesu Children’s Home and The Village of Hope in Zimbabwe. The audience will also learn more about the children who MZO supports and have an opportunity to donate to support the education of these children.

Aysanabee (Ace-in-abbey) is a two-time winning alternative indie artist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and singer-songwriter. He is Oji-Cree from the Sucker Clan of Sandy Lake First Nation, a remote, fly-in community in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Now based in Toronto, he began creating music under his family name when moments of stillness allowed him to slow down and create music that more accurately represents himself as an artist. With a swirling mix of rock, soul and electronic sounds and pulse-quickening fingerpicking, Aysanabee’s music is both anthemic and cathartic. His style has drawn comparisons to Bon Iver, Matt Corby, Hozier, The Black Pumas, Kings of Leon and more.

In March 2024, Aysanabee made history as the first Indigenous artist to win JUNO Awards for both Alternative Album of the Year and Songwriter of the Year for his EP Here and Now (October 2023).
