The team here at Bent River Records is so fortunate to have worked with such a talented and beloved person. A pillar in Edmonton\u2019s music and arts community, The Honourable\u00a0Tommy Banks supported the work we have been doing at Bent River by attending our label\u00a0launch concert in 2017, and he\u00a0even contributed to a few of the albums we have on the label. He was featured on Mallory Chipman\u2019s debut\u00a0album\u00a0<i>Nocturnalize<\/i>, and executively produced her second album,\u00a0<i>Rags and Feathers: A Tribute to Leonard Cohen.<\/i>\u00a0The BRR team sends their love and thoughts out to his family during this difficult time. There will be a memorial for him at the Winspear Centre on Wednesday, February 14 at 7:00pm to celebrate his life and legacy.
