The Recording of Willie Thrasher (2016)

In 2015, director Adam O. Thomas and producer Am Johal (SFU's Vancity Office of Community Engagement) put together a documentary on the musical life of veteran Inuvialuit singer-songwriter Willie Thrasher. On November 18, we celebrated the world premiere at SFU Woodward's with a screening and live concert featuring Willie and his singing partner Linda Saddleback. The film is available for viewing at www.sfu.ca/video-library/video/1658/view.html. Please spread the link if you like what you see/hear. Willie is still rocking and rolling all of these years later and is looking to perform on stages large and small. New music is being recorded. Be in touch if you have any links!!! Thanks for the support!!! PEACE

The Recording of Willie Thrasher

*Wow, how the time truly flies... In 2015, director Adam O. Thomas and Simon Fraser University's Director of Community Engagement Am Johal produced a documentary on the life of Inuvialuit singer-songwriter Willie Thrasher. This coming Friday sees the world premiere of "The Recording of Willie Thrasher" at SFU Woodward's (along w/ a live performance from Willie and his singing partner Linda Saddleback). I graduated from SFU in 1996 and am extremely proud to have been a part of this project which has brought generations, cultures, and eras of technology closer together in this often disconnected era. Please join us if you can...
