We are gearing up for another fabulous Coffeehouse season!This coming season, we will gather again in the Community Hall, in Daajing Giids.
As in years past, the Coffeehouse will take place on the last Friday of every month (with some exceptions), starting on September 27, 2024 and going until March 28, 2025. There will be an Open Mic followed by a featured local performer or band. In addition to live music, we will also host a monthly community dinner preceeding each Coffeehouse. Dinner and music, food for body and soul! All this goodness by donation, in cash or in kind! We are super grateful for volunteers willing to pitch in - if you would like to help, please contact us! |

William Russ, born and raised in Haida Gwaii, the middle of nowhere. An island that forces the creativity out of anybody who enters its mystical boundaries. Or spits them out if it so chooses. For years William tried to run away from this place, to find somewhere new, but he kept being pulled back for one reason or another. Now with roots fully set in place William has transformed himself into something he never could have imagined. He dreamed of being this his entire life. An MC. After years of building his MC and production skills he finds himself back in the Hip-Hop scene and making the scene on Haida Gwaii bigger, and more noticeable to the rest of the world. William "Tycoon" Russ is now collaborating with artists from around the globe; Japan, Portland Oregon, Ontario, and many more to come. He is an excellent producer. An excellent MC. And a true warrior for the culture of Hip-Hop. Inspired by the greats and by those in the underground alike there is nothing about the culture of Hip-Hop that Tycoon doesn't find inspiration from. Back from a recent years long hiatus he is now better than ever. More mature, has more wisdom to share, and funk to provide for all of those who love this incredible culture of Hip-Hop. Be on the lookout for his upcoming album Persevere and many other projects on the horizon. From Haida Gwaii to the rest of the world. Peace.
