from Sean:
As luck would have it, on July 5th 2010, the Vancouver Poetry Slam welcomes Saskatoon's Megan Lane!!!
Megan Lane has been working as a musician/songwriter for the past eleven years, beginning her career at the age of twelve. Two years ago, Lane began to dabble in spoken word poetry. Taking some of the darker experiences from the road and turning them into poetry, Lane managed to place first in the 2009 Saskatoon poetry slam finals, and thus became apart of Saskatoon poetry slam team which competed at the 2009 Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in Victoria, BC.
Besides being a nationally recognized guitarist, singer, songwriter and slam poet, Lane also plays drums with Kamila Martel (of the Cracker Cats) and The Ne’erDowells. Lane has performed her original music for Queen Elizabeth II and Joni Mitchell, and has shared the stage with artists such as Feist, Buffy Saint-Marie, and Colin James. While Megan Lane Band tours Western Canada, Lane will also make an appearance at the Vancouver Poetry Slam at Café Deux Soliel.
This is another open slam to qualify for the IWPS playoff in September.
Hope to see you there.
