The Chimney Swallows- songwriters Raghu Lokanathan and Corwin Fox- are coming to Shawnigan to bring their new work to the community. After over a decade of performing music together the two songwriters have created two short theatrical pieces that incorporate storytelling and music, work that is both poignant and funny. The two are gifted musical performers, but really shine when they tell stories and when the two are combined it is magic.
Fox played bass in punk bands as a teenager in the Ottawa Valley, put in his time touring the country in a dirty van in an art rock group, and studied sound engineering. Now based on Vancouver Island, he has a career divided between performance projects like Morlove (with Miss Emily Brown) and his highly acclaimed work as a record producer for a league of independent artists. Raghu Lokanathan, who calls Prince George home, has been described as “…a rare sort of artist whose work evokes a world both strange and familiar…an artful dabbler in folk traditions”. He studied accordion as a kid, picked up the guitar in his teens and eventually taught himself clawhammer-style banjo. The two musicians played their first gigs while they were both employed as pages at the Victoria Public Library, including singing songs at the picket lines during a strike by the library workers. Since then they’ve been steadily refining their sound and show at clubs, festivals, cafes and house concerts all over the province.
