The award-winning Celtic Rock group, the Derina Harvey Band (dHb) wowed the audience with their Juried showcase at the 2024 Arts Northwest Conference. With a show that offers a fresh take on traditional folk songs as well as originals, Derina's vibrant personality takes center stage with humour, storytelling, and, of course, her powerful vocals. That voice earned her a 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for "Contemporary Singer of the Year".

dHb has been likened to a "rockier" version of Canada's Great Big Sea, if fronted by Adele. The group took home the 2024 East Coast Music Award for "Fans' Choice Entertainer of the Year", and was also nominated for a 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for "New/Emerging Artist of the Year". The accolades are deserved, as this Celtic Rock sensation offers a high-energy live show that leaves audiences hollering from their seats.

The band's streaming numbers on Spotify (and other platforms) have gone through the roof (over 100 million streams on Spotify and counting!) due to a TikTok video that went viral featuring one of the band's signature songs, and, as a result, more and more people all over the world are becoming die-hard fans of the band.

What happens when jazz meets the world? You get America's Songbird Myrna Clayton.

Jazz Heals Humanity — Worldwide is a music-led journey through the healing power of jazz — Standards, Bebop, Contemporary, and Smooth — woven together with stories from the stages of the world. Myrna and The Myrna Clayton Experience don't just perform jazz. They use it to do what jazz has always done: dissolve distance, reveal commonality, and remind us that joy is a language every human being already speaks.

This is a program for audiences who want to feel something — and for presenters who believe that the arts, at their best, are not entertainment. They are medicine. Featured at the PAE Juried Showcase. Six-city tour of historic Georgia theatres. State Department performances at U.S. Embassies worldwide.

Where the music plays — the world gets smaller. And humanity is felt.
