D’arcy started classical piano training at the age of four, and was singing on Chinese national TV at age seven. Moving to Canada, D’arcy has become a vital part of the Vancouver scene, with an ability to move from jazz to pop, to blues, to standards as well as the traditional and pop songs of China. She has performed at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, the Commodore Ballroom, and the Orpheum, partnering with instrumentalists in a variety of styles of music. She represented North America in the equivalent of Chinese Idol, introducing soul and blues to billions of viewers on live television.
This event is made possible by Menno Hospital, Odlum Brown and Health Arts Society.
Hailing from the Toronto area, Michael Aihoshi [guitar & vocals] toured Eastern Canada for years, playing blues, country, folk, world, Celtic, pop, and Rhythm and Blues. He toured for a few years with The George Olliver Band (Mandala) Canada’s King of Soul. Through the years he has had the privilege of sharing the stage with some of Canada’s premier musicians from this wide range of musical styles.
