In celebration of the centennial of St. James, the Historical Museum of St. James-Assiniboia presents A Century of Modern Sound with Jason Eastwood. Throughout the years 1921-2021, many entertainers created music that resonated deeply with the citizens living in St. James-Assiniboia and helped shaped their lives.

 Classical guitarist and composer, Jason Eastwood, discusses some of the entertainers and songwriters that have had an impact on the citizens living in St. James-Assiniboia over the last one hundred years.  Jason will also be performing examples of their work on the guitar. These entertainers might have written, produced and arranged their songs in a variety of different ways, from rock, to country, to jazz. However, Jason will be preforming his original songs in a “Troubadour style/Singer-songwriter” style.

This series will end with a song-writing workshop, where Jason walks youth, and people of all ages, through the process of writing music to inspire the next century of great music.

This multipart series consists of pre-recorded videos that will be available to watch throughout the entire duration of Culture Days. Starting September 24, 2021 watch the entire series right here or follow us on Facebook at the Historical Museum of St. James-Assiniboia for weekly installments.
