Haliwards, the community based project recognizing local groups and individuals who make an impact on HRM, has established the musical lineup for the ceremony, taking place on April 2, 2011. The lineup includes Kristina Trites, Renee Doucet and Chloe Jones.
Trites’ well received performance at the 2010 Haliwards sparked a return invite for this, the second year of the awards. Born in Saint John, NB, Kristina Trites grew up on the outskirts of Halifax and offers a unique sound blending pop with acoustic folk.
The first fiddler to perform at Haliwards, Renee Doucet is a Nova Scotia native, dedicating herself to fiddling for the past 11 years. Taking a special interest in traditional Celtic music, Doucet currently performs with her sisters in the fiddle, mandolin and piano trio, The Doucet Sisters.
Chloe Jones is a local singer with a newly released EP, “Old Palace.” Jones’ unique voice and pop/alt style will delight the audience. Jones has recently played the Seahorse Tavern and The Company House to great reviews.
“We are excited to introduce the talent of Chloe and The Doucet Sisters to guests of the Haliwards, but also to announce the return of audience favourite and newlywed Kristina Trites,” says Alex Maine, Haliwards Director. “These performers will be a great asset to what we have planned for this year’s award ceremony.”
Established in 2009, Haliwards is a community awards project based in the Halifax Regional Municipality that recognizes “everyday” individuals and groups who strive to make their community just a little bit better.
