Bice will be joined on stage by Ari Neufeld on June 22

The wet days of early June are just a memory at Fraser River Heritage Park this week as on Friday, June 22, the Envision Financial Twilight Concert Series welcomes one of Mission’s own, Jennie Bice, and Ari Neufeld to the stage.

Bice is a favourite with Twilight audiences and is known throughout B.C. as one of the province’s foremost violin teachers.

Hailing from Ontario, and a few years in Vancouver, she is proud to call Mission home. Bice stumbled upon Mission and the annual Folk Festival as a founding member of Prydwen when the group was featured on the festival’s main stage.

Now a board member of the festival and the owner of Anwyn Studios – a multi-functioning recording, teaching and rehearsal space – she is set to call Mission home for many years to come.

She is currently performing with 12 bands, and teaches numerous fiddle students and spends her summers at festivals and fiddle camps.

Ari Neufeld loves to join Bice on stage and the two have so much fun making music together, it is infectious. Neufeld plays the guitar, piano, banjo and ukulele, and his melodies are legendary.
