"Winston and I," released July 20th 2024, is Brianna Lizotte's second album released in her music career.
This album is all about the ups and downs of the transition between her teenage years to adulthood; lively jigs written for family, spiraling mental breakdowns, and accepting that not having the answer to everything is okay. This showcase will include all tunes from her two albums along with many tunes that she grew up hearing at family kitchen parties. Lizotte takes inspiration from her love for marching and concert band and fiddle music to create something new. The sound of the sax, trombone, electric guitar, and traditional folk fiddling will fill listeners with feelings of nostalgia, excitement, and the need to dance.
Brianna Lizotte is a fiddler currently living in Edmonton Alberta. She grew up in a household where music was played, whether it was from home videos or kitchen parties. At the age of 10, most of the musicians in her family passed away, so she took it upon herself to keep the music alive. This has led her to many opportunities such as competing twice in the Canadian Grand Masters, music festivals across Alberta, and traveling to Rome to support the Metis delegates during their meetings with the Pope in 2022.
Apart from performing, Brianna can be found teaching fiddle lessons, Metis history through music and dance workshops, and in studios recording for documentaries, EPs, singles, etc. Graduating from MacEwan University’s Bachelor of Music program in 2023, she looks forward to developing her voice within the Canadian music scene.
