Ottawa's own Amorous Speaking Poet - Brandon Wint, Melody Seamstress - Amanda Cottreau & Solo Cellist Virtuoso - Raphael Weinroth-Browne present and evening of love, light and pure enchantment in the heart of Wellington West.

BRANDON WINT
Brandon Wint is an Ottawa based writer and performer of spoken word poetry. Since discovering his aptitude for spoken word in March of 2008, Brandon has dedicated his life to uncovering the inherently beautiful and poetic elements that exist in every part of life. As a poet, he is also deeply influenced by the stories and images that explore the human condition. He is therefore often compelled to investigate the themes of mortality, confusion, love and fear in his writing. Brandon has been a member of two National Championship winning poetry slam teams, and has toured the country extensively as a performer.

AMANDA COTTREAU
Over the years, this melody seamstress has been refining her hauntingly beautiful brand of folk, elevating sadness to triumph and desolation to celebration. As haunting and striking as the sculpted inlet of the Bay of Fundy, Amanda's voice has begun to garner attention in the international independent music scene. In August 2012, Toronto's Instinct Entertainement took note and placed the track "Couldn't Wait", from her recently released EP "Universe in a Soft Shell," in a Degrassi episode and had featured on Much Music.

RAPHAEL WEINROTH-BROWNE
A cellist with a broad and eclectic repertoire that ranges from the Baroque period to the twentieth century, from the Britten solo cello suites to the Romantic concerto, and from the Cholera progressive death metal to the Indie ballad, Raphael Weinroth-Browne has well earned the title of Virtuoso. To his credit he has release to independent Metal albums under the banner Cholera and has worked with a number of emerging artists: Amanda Cottreau, Argus Panoptes, Dry River Caravan, The Three Little Birds, THISISTWIGG, and Wood of Ypres. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcc9-6zOrfM&feature=player_embedded
