The Trail & District Arts Council is very excited to get the community back together this Summer at Gyro Park for Music in The Park.

This season we have a great mix of music from local favourites to touring talent!
This week, the Trail & District Arts Council is very excited to present KNS and Robin Layne & the Rhythm Makers on August 8 in Gyro Park for Kootenay Savings Music in the Park.
Juno nominated percussionist Robin Layne & The Rhythm Makers bring their groove heavy music to Trail for Kootenay Savings Music in the Park.
With roots in rhythmic traditions from around the globe Robin Layne & the Rhythm Makers’ music blurs the lines between jazz and folk as they carve out new territory for the marimba. Since their debut release “Memories” in 2018, they have been making a name for themselves on the festival circuit over the past few years.
The Rhythm Makers are: Daniel Ruiz on drums, Jocelyn Waugh on trumpet, Liam MacDonald on percussion and Wynston Minckler on bass. Robin Layne has worked with many of Canada's finest global artists and toured throughout China, Europe, Mexico, USA and Canada. He has steeped himself in rhythmic traditions around the world, from Cuba to West Africa to Mexico and beyond, for inspiration for his compositions. Highlights of his solo performances include Nanjing Jazz Festival, Hildesheim Jazz Festival, Victoria Jazz Fest, Arts Wells Festival, Vancouver Island MusicFest, Salmon Arm Roots and Blues, Vancouver Folk Festival and Vancouver International Jazz Festival.
Robin is in demand as a freelance percussionist for recordings, performances and tours, and currently performs solo, as well as with Locarno, The BC World Music Collective and more. As well as performing, Robin is the senior percussion instructor at the Sarah McLachlan School of Music and the Artistic Director of the World Rhythms for Youth Society. He was also the co-founder and co-Artistic Director of the Vancouver World Music Festival for five years. Get a taste for their live shows here: https://youtu.be/5HFah6gwC1o
“If you had to create the perfect outdoor festival band, you’d probably come up with Robin Layne & the Rhythm Makers” - Tim Reinert, Infidels Jazz
"Deep dance vibes suitable for any crowd" - Vancouver International Jazz Festival
Opening the night at 6:15 pm are KNS, a high energy acoustic duo featuring locals Stew Ford and Kelly Waite. Playing upbeat covers and original material, often taken from or inspired by the Eighties, leaning on the rock side of things.
